Hi,

I would like to know if Simplify 3d will work with my Creator 3 and will it be fully supported?

Will simplify 3d also do a duel idex print??

Hope you can let me know please.

Cheers

I know Simplify3D received a machine for testing and they can probably send you a profile.

Thanks for forwarding Booner to that applicable thread. Our software now includes a profile for the FlashForge Creator 3. You can select it at first launch of Simplify3D or open the configuration assistant another time using Help > Configuration Assistant.

S3D does work for the Creator 3.
I havent had many issues. I did run into an issue with S3D that the left and right nozzle alignment was incorrect, but after adjusting the tool 1 on the x axis by -1.78 mm, i did have this resolved.
Also, an additional issue i am noticing is that if the print is paused, the print is no longer alligned. This will be off by 0.85 mm. I am still trying to figure this out.
In S3D, you can not do mirror mode or duplicate mode right away.
There is, on the other hand, a profile available that allows you do do so for Flashforge Creator 3.
It is available here somewhere, but will also add it to this topic. It only does duplicate. I hope im adding the proper file

Hi, i also own a FF Creator 3 and S3D, and was wondering if S3D will support Mirror and Duplicate mode for IDEX printer? If yes how to do it and if no, will it be supported someday? Thanks.

I recently purchased a Creator 3 Pro and upgraded to Simplify3D V5. I can send a job to the printer but it prints very erratically and doesn't resemble the part at all. I have a PowerSpec Ultra and the same file prints correctly. I've sent numerous files to Simplify and they communicated at first, but now I can't get them to respond. Very disappointing. They've always been responsive in the past.

This thread is pretty old, so I might suggest making a new one specifically about V5. I know we've been able to print fine on our Creator 3 using the new V5 profiles, so it's possible it may also be a problem with the specific settings or files you are using. Including an example .gx file could help for example.

I have a creator 3 pro and had the same issue when sending over by wifi.
Each time it takes ages to transfer the file and then prints rubbish, but never the same rubbish even when sending the same file.
If I put file on an SD card for transfer it works ok.
I got a very similar looking line where it went very slow and pumped out extrusion in a wide line.

If you are having trouble using the new wifi printing in V5, please start a new thread so we can discuss that more. This thread is quite old and was just about adding support for the Creator 3 into Simplify3D. As of version 5.0.0, the Creator 3 is now fully supported, including wifi and ethernet printing along with duplication and mirror mode. Just go to Help > Configuration Assistant, search for the "Creator 3", and you can download all the relevant settings.
