I make good use of different Processes in Simplify 3D. It's probably what keeps me using the program. This print, like most of what I do, uses multiple processes to control/change things at different heights. For this particular part I sliced only 3 of the 4 processes I need to complete the print. S...

Thanks, Jason, for the reply. My question is Why are there gaps in the first place? The second picture in my post (layer 50) is the beginning of a different shape, but there is no gap below the new shape. It's solid all the way up. It seems like the most efficient way to print this transition would ...

Let me see if I can explain this well. Bear with me. Most of the time, when my print transitions from one shape to another, there is a sort of "ghosting" on the lower layer. I've included two pictures to show what I'm talking about. Notice on Layer 49 there are some gaps in the layer - sor...

Ultimately I think I would like for the Allow Single Extrusions to work. The Merge All Boundaries function works great in this test piece, but in my actual project there are some features that just disappear because of the "Merge". You mentioned my printer maybe having some sort of smoothi...

Thank you, S3D-Jason, for the help. It did, in fact, fix the problem. I've attached a picture of the resulting print. I printed the model without the top (my Section 5 was not included in the slice) so I didn't have any supports to deal with. You can see the three wide sections clearly in the pictur...

Thanks for taking the time to help. Here's a factory file that illustrates my issue. The side walls are 0.4mm thick and the top and bottom are 0.6mm thick. It's made up of five processes to build a rounded box. Section 1 - Basic Solid fill with no issues. Section 2 - Perimeters Only selected under A...

I appreciate the quick response, Jason. I should have been more descriptive about my part. It needs to be hollow . I have four processes as the print builds - each section needing different settings. I do have perimeters set to 1 . I have used the Merge All Boundaries function from time to time. It'...

I'm printing with flexible filament and need the walls of my part to be as thin as possible (essentially the width of the nozzle - 0.4mm in my case). Single extrusion walls have caused me grief for way too long. I either get less than acceptable surfaces when printing, or completely absent sections ...
