Ultimaker 3+ - Not a Single Working Print

Hey,

So I have the UM3+ and I've been trying to get S3D to work with it. I use it with my Prusa MK2 with no issues, but can't for the life of me get anything to work for the UM. I've tried FFF profiles from this forum, from the UM forum and all have issues.

The default from S3D under extrudes everything. Also, when I export to gcode and then import to Cura, some models give an error saying the gcode is faulty. S3D support fixed that (took 5 days to respond though!) and I guess it was a date format issue or something. However, their new profile has incorrect settings for extruders. I mean, select Left Extruder...and then look through the settings and it's using the Right extruder for everything. Seriously, if you can't get even the basic tool choice correct how am I to trust the rest of the settings?

I tried a couple I tried on the forums from last year and they gave me mild success, but were either really poor prints or they did strange things like extrude nothing. Double wipes at the beginning on a single extruder setup and more.

Does anyone have a working 'generic' S3D FFF profile that I could get to at least begin printing with S3D. The slicing and graphic performance of Cura is like wading through a field of razer blades!

[edit] I should point out, that Cura is printing just fine. it's just if I want a large print, I have to wait 10 minutes to slice it and then the graphics performance of 1 frame per minute is just a nightmare.
