S3D is pretty firmware agnostic: It spits out .gcode (and in the instance of Makerbots & their clones, converts this to .x3g) for consumption by the firmware: I have a custom built bot running Marlin, a Rep1 and Rep2x both with Sailfish, but use S3D to slice & output for all of them.

Not that I'm providing any solutions, but more of an observation: I have both a direct-drive bot and one with a Bowden setup: Almost never get blobs on the direct-drive, nearly always get blobs on the Bowden. I've spent months trying to minimize them, but they've never entirely go away. Both extrusi...

I really enjoy the ability to created multiple processes per print to change settings as needed. That being said, there's one area that is either broken, or I'm missing 'the button' to fix it: Every time you switch from one process to the next, it will do a full interior floor\roof at the transition...

My suggestion would be that S3D simply provides an preference for this, everyone wins: Either 'File Browsers share path' or 'File Browsers have unique paths'.
I code tools & ui's for people at work, this could be implemented in 15 minutes or less based on my experience.

lol, I hear what you're saying, to each their own eh? I group everything for a given project in one dir (factory files, stl's, objs, reference, etc) to keep them together. But for you, you'd have the reverse issue. But I still feel this is different behavior than any other software I use. Thus my co...

but i guess your saying it remembers the last folder you were in for each function you are trying to perform? Yep, that's it. Any other software I use (Maya, Photoshop, AppX) always open the last folder browsed to, regardless of what tool you accessed the file browser from. Which is generally what ...

These are some behaviors S3D always has had (well, since I started using it in v2), but they drive me nuts. Using S3D 3.0.2 They probably drive me nuts since it's different UI behavior from just about any other software I use. Issue1: On App Open, S3D doesn't know the file it Auto-Opened *Open fileA...

+1 : Now that I'm using a 1mm volcano nozzle, designs that should print are missing their walls. A frustrating shortcoming of the software.

Yah, I probably got the terminology wrong. But you get the idea

AK_Eric

HA, that's it. I have supports normally off, and when you create them manually it asks you if you want that process checkbox checked when you go to slice. Of course I do... When I then remove all the manual supports, the checkbox in the process stays on, still creating them. I wonder if this behavio...
