Problem with Multiple Processes

I have a model where I'm trying to print 0 to 7mm with 2 perimeters, 7 to 35mm with one perimeter and insert a M600 (filament change), 35 to 107mm with 1 perimeter and then 107mm to the end as 2 perimeters.

I setup the four processes as shown in videos.
I selected them all and continuous layer by layer when preparing to print
Saved file

Best I can tell it only used the first process and none of the others.

Linux Mint 18 and Simplfy 3D 3.1.0

I'm following the instructions from here
https://www.simplify3d.com/support/arti ... f-a-model/


Turns out the processes might be merging correctly but it appears the start/end scripts are ignored for all but the first one.

I took out the end script on the first process (since it didn't finish the print)
In the second process I took out the start script and changed the end script to M600
In the third process I took out all the scripts
In the last process I put my end script.

In the G-Code
I have the start script (as expected)
M600 is completely absent
THe end script is missing

Re: Problem with Multiple Processes

Think I found it. I assumed (wrongly it appears) that the system used the start/stop parameters exclusively to determine which process to use and the order in the window didn't matter.

It appears they also need to be listed in the process window from bottom to top in the correct order. So that means I can't insert my M600 using a start/end script at a layer height since they are ignored except n the first and last process.

Re: Problem with Multiple Processes

There are several threads that talk about inserting a pause (M600 command) into the gcode using post processing. Do a search to find them....
