single extruder, multiple swapped-in filaments

Hi All, Does S3D support slicing for a print setup that has a single extruder that can handle multiple ( N -number-of) materials/colors? I see in the FAQ that it can support up to 6 extruders, but that is not the same thing. Would one use a process per material/color to handle this? would the proces...

Is there a full listing of gcode scripting vars and commands?

All, I'm looking through this thread: https://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=1959 and want to know the full extent of the capabilities that this methodology offers, and I would like to get a full listing of what vars/commands work with which script tabs. Can somone on the S3D support team plea...

Re: Bed leveling wizard

I installed v5.1 and this feature is still missing. Why? It is such a separate item I cannot imagine that it can't be more than a copy/paste and add a menu item to launch. Please add this back in asap. Some people might be under the illusion that an ABL actually levels the bed - this could not be mo...

Re: multiple materials / multiple extruders / multiple objects

relook at dates of posts there, you'll see they are 4 years apart. The previous post was also not answered. I revived the thread mostly as a joke, but apparently it was missed. Anyway, long story short: * need N :1 virtual extruders to physical extruders, where: * VirtualExtruder := a complete set o...

Re: Gyroid Infill Crashes V5

give SuperSlicer a try also. It's Parents are Slic3r and Prusa slicer. Different kind of UI than cura, which I also don't like.

Re: v5.xx - Laughable auto-arrange features

I'll bite. it's not at all clear what you did to get the arrangement the way it is. It looks like you manually arranged everything, selected one object, then auto-arrange and got an error. I agree it should not have given that error, but your manual arrangement looks daft Laddie. What does it look l...

Re: multiple materials / multiple extruders / multiple objects

apparently it's not such a bizarre request after all... forces of nature may be pulling me away... but I still need to experiment a lot more. I would hate to go, but catch-up seems really hard at this stage. we will see. meanwhile s3d needs to look around, see the exciting things happening in the wo...

Re: multiple materials / multiple extruders / multiple objects

OK, just re-installed v5 @ v5.0.2. I had problems with the install of the first update for some reason, and it broke v5. Anyway, I'm in v5.0.2 now, and noticing the scripts section has changed a bit. There's a 'process change' tab now I don't recall in v4, and the others have pre and post sections I...

Re: multiple materials / multiple extruders / multiple objects

OK, I'm going to reply to my first post! weird, but the title says it pretty well. This post was about using a machine (Stacker S4) with multiple actual tool heads. Today, I am writing to ask about / get info about multiple virtual extruders - e.g N virtualized extruders or processes with their own ...

Re: Bed leveling wizard

ABSOLUTELY!!! I need this tool every time I print. Where is it? Why did you remove it? Right now I have to run v4 to use it, then v5 won't start unless I logout/back into Windows!
