[FIXED] v4 hangs when slicing a model

I'm trying to slice a model but v4 is just hanging at "calculating infill" when i slice.

is there still a download for v3 available? this is frustrating, i need to print.

Re: v4 hangs when slicing a model

It would help if you posted your factory file

Re: v4 hangs when slicing a model

The problem occurs when Internal Thin Wall Type option is set to Allow single extrusion fill.

Good work finding the issue, changing that settings makes my model slice without hanging. I'd upload the factory file but it's 10 MB.

Re: v4 hangs when slicing a model

I have the same issue and need it resolved quickly as my model integrity and strength depends on the single extrusion fill feature.

We need to bring this bad issue to the attention of the developers. After paying $150 for the software, a bug like this is not acceptable. Especially because it used to work with no problems (maybe 10 times) and now it just hangs! :x

Re: v4 hangs when slicing a model

When using "allow single extrusion fill", I also set "Allowed perimeter overlap" to 50% to get it to work, "perimeter overlap is a preference setting, not an extrusion rate,, if I set it for 10% (default I believe), it hangs at "calculating infill"
I've included a factory file to test with, hope this helps

Re: v4 hangs when slicing a model

mine is also set to 50% (the default value which I saw no reason to alter)

I downloaded your factory file. its tiny ?? what am I looking for?

I only have hanging on HUGE prints (using most of the 300x300x400 space of the printer) or very large litho's
