++ a very useful request, also something that's available with other slicers.. for e.g. prusa edition of slicer have something called "surface" that's ensuring wall thickness. typical issue - top of the printed busts, balls etc is not perfect.. simplify3d don't have problem with these tops! that thi...
Sorry about that, it appears that I missed your comment. No need to apologize :D For the "small and tiny and precise" parts listen to dkightley!

If S3D starts a phone home system, I will be demanding my money back. afaik it's how it works now. it calls home to check if it should run or not Nothing is even remotely free with professional machines. can't say for "all of them", but for e.g. inspire industrial printers come with free software t...
The price isn't that high. Most industrial software runs into the 1000's a year with maintenance contracts additional. actually not true, with number of professional machines you get the professional software for free with free updates for life. they are linked to work with their machines only but ...
