There were corrections in release v4.0.1 addressing issues with layer interfaces when using multiple processes.

Here is a list of the relevant settings that were varied between each process change. I have checked and my installed version of S3D is 4.0.1, I actually just re-installed it today.

process 1 (layer 1-6)
layer height-.2
primary extruder- right
prime pillar- yes
support- every layer
infill- every layer
stop printing- .4 mm

process 2 (layer 7-46)
layer height .2
primary extruder- left
prime pillar- yes
support- every layer
infill- every layer
start printing- .4 mm
stop printing- 8.4 mm

process 3 (layer 47-68)
layer height- .1
primary extruder- left
prime pillar- yes
support- every other layer
infill- every other layer
start printing-8.4 mm
stop printing-10.6 mm

process 4 (layer 69-80)
layer height-.2
primary extruder- left
prime pillar- yes
support- every layer
infill- every layer
start printing- 10.6 mm
stop printing- 13 mm

process 5 (layer 81-150)
layer height-.2
primary extruder- left
prime pillar- no
support- irrelevant
infill- every layer
start printing 13 mm
