Added the following video of Simplify running Gcode for Milling a test block of wood. Gcode generated in FreeCad and I did not fuss about where to place the block so, it’s not on the bed... [EDIT - ADDED:] Useful Tip: Gcode files often have different filename extensions. But, all are simply ‘Text’ f...

Yes, you can use Simplify for Laser and CNC movement, if you have a setup to do it and know how/what you’re doing. But, Simplify won’t generate the Gcode to do it. It only does what the Gcode tells it to do. Thus, you need to generate the Gcode either by Hand coding or by using other software (prefe...

Power goes out where I live and my neighbor’s ham radio corrupts all wireless signals from TV to WiFi & Bluetooth… Thus, recommend using sdCard. Also, could go to Tools>Firmware config, and set the Timeout ...

It should have Nothing to do with connection errors to the net. But, s3d shouldn't have gates to jump through like signing in to use non-cloud based software... Call it my error or a 'Senior moment'. However, not knowing the guts of S3d I posted the only other element of communication in the softwar...

For typical features on the parts I design, I’ve done a bazillion tests to determine the ‘best’ parameters for Overhangs and Curves (especially curved overhangs). I always prefer to avoid using Supports. For my needs, that required designing some useful test parts that represent the challenges on ty...

The process I posted eliminates all stringing on my machines. But, 'yes', it's the biggest challenge so the parts I posted are good example to work with.

Tip! Lower the Hot-End Temp, check the print speed and, MUST use the fan - petg wants to be cooled as soon as it's laid down...
