Thanks for the advice. I will use it on my next print requiring supports.

Clay

My supports are far too hard to remove. I ruin more prints that I would like to admit. Could some of you post how you have set up your supports when you use them?

I seem to have to run every file through Netfab in order to print in S3D. Even simple ones. Perhaps it is the program I am using to create parts (Sketchup) or the program that converts to .stl. ????

This has just happened. I can load the program and remove anything that was on the plate. But when I go to import a new file the program freezes. Could anyone assist?

Thanks,

Speaking from inexperience: Is there a reason S3D doesn't separate meshes automatically? Cura seems that it does this without an extra step involved.

Uninformed newbie here. Doug helped me with the Separate Connected Surfaces option (Thank you for that and here is a cyber dollar :) ). But even separating meshes I have parts that S3D will Simply not print. Odd anomalies still show up. I take the same file and load it into Cura and it displays and ...

As suggested I had to reconfigure the USB port and baud rate. Somehow it lost this info. Now connecting correctly. Thanks for the help.

Clay

My USB connection has suddenly failed. It has been working fine but has suddenly stopped. Connection remains working in Cura though. Any thoughts as to how I can get this connection working once again?
