Good luck with that. Mere public mention of the issue sends Arthur Wolf into a major snit.

As a software developer myself, I understand why Simplify3D Developers do some of the things they do. I understand why they won't announce release dates. I understand why they don't have a try-before-you-buy policy. I get it. I would like to suggest, however, that S3D could benefit from posting Work...

I sure wish I could just set the speeds directly instead of having them all be relative to the infill speed. Just a little math... default speed * percentage = actual speed. :) Or desired speed / default speed = percentage No, not just a little math, because if I want to change the infill speed I h...

The issue has to do with S3D's thin wall behavior, which is a major topic of discussion on this forum. S3D will only fill with perimeters in a solid fashion if the wall thickness is approximately an even integer multiple of the extrusion width. It can be slightly less than that depending on the amou...

There are some details of the development of this infill at https://engineerdog.com/2015/03/08/3d-printing-a-3d-honeycomb-infill-concept/ , and some actual mechanical tests of it at https://engineerdog.com/2015/09/02/mechanical-testing-3d-printed-parts-results-and-recommendations/ . The thing to rem...

It looks like this:

I would like this also. It seems to reduce warping relative to some infills, too. And it allows for better transmission of shear strength through a part that cannot be oriented on the bed in way that makes the currently available infill patterns efficient.

I get this all the time and I definitely wish they'd fix it. It Seems to occur when the layer height is an even divisor for the height of a vertex, such as when features change significantly right at a vertex in the STL file.

This is usually a problem with the STL file. I find that S3D is sensitive to some numerical issues in the STL, and the problem is especially prevalent when there are a very large number of facets and when sharp changes in the surface happen exactly on the layer boundary. There are two solutions you ...
