Some parts disappear...
I'm a little bit disappointed by this not free software, not free in money, and not free of bugs...
There should be a user-adjustable tolerance for this. If, for instance, you have a .5mm nozzle, and you have a feature that is some size smaller (perhaps .4mm, or .49mm), we should have control over what is and what is not printed.JoeJ wrote:That's not a bug. If the feature is smaller than the nozzle's extrusion width, than the printer won't print it.
You're right, it is not a bug, it's just a less performant slicer than Cura.JoeJ wrote:That's not a bug. If the feature is smaller than the nozzle's extrusion width, than the printer won't print it.
Sure. I can modify the generated GCode too and add the 'missing parts' by hand...tenaja wrote:There should be a user-adjustable tolerance for this.

I disagree with this. A 3D Printer is meant to print parts/objects/models to the dimensional specifications in the file provided. If you have a wall that is supposed to be .2mm thick, but say a .5mm extrusion width, s3d knows your extrusion width is too thick to ever print that out. If your slicing software prints out a wall taht's supposed to be .2mm at .5mm I would question the reliability of the slicer.jeand wrote:

take a look at my post about print on void. Than we can discuss more about the clean, intelligent and repeatable abilities of s3dTopJimmyCooks wrote:... snip ...
Not saying S3d is perfect, it's UI is a bit hard to use (ask me for some examples ). But it has a very good ability to slice stuff in a clean, intelligent and repeatable way with no bizarre artifacts or hundreds of unnecessary moves, perimeter crossings and gap fills. The great nearly invisible layer changes are worth a lot by themselves.
