1. Does the S3D software have ability to set speed for layers that come first on the top of the supports? The thing is the 1st layer laid right on the top of the support has very poor adhesion contact area comparing to one it has with building plate surface due to obvious reason so the geometry gets hell distorted unless few more further layers are printed. This feature is a big deal.
2. Is there the software comprehensive manual to download that covers all the user interface as all the settings there?
Thanks.
Re: Speed settings for supports
I believe the setting you want to adjust is the Dense Support Speed, which on found at Edit Process Settings > Speeds tab. That controls the speed of the very last layers of the supports (the regions that come in contact with the part).
For describing the settings, we wrote several thousand lines of documentation for the V5 release, which were all embedded directly into the software. Just hover your mouse over the setting for several seconds and it will display a tooltip describing the setting and how it functions.

Re: Speed settings for supports
thanks for your reply. But I'm afraid you didn't get mу question right. Sorry, it was my fault that I accidentally omitted to write a complete topic name properly before submitting one so it was completed by some of you up to the forum moderator that's why it looks entirely irrelevant yet misleading.
So my question has nothing to do with supports at all but the extruded material that comes right onto the supports. I have no issues with printing the supports and I print them at the highest speed possible. But once the supports completed I'd like to deliberately drop the printing speed for further extruded material that comes right onto the supports in order to give it more time to get solidified for sure. Otherwise if the speed still remains high it causes unwanted drag of the extruded material as in fact it gets supported just in a few spots the same as franks on on a grill when being fried. In a nutshell I'm after having user control over printing speed settings specified to specific areas/layer ranges, that's it. TweakAtZ in Cura does all that so I guess a super slicer such as Simplify3D should do that as well for sure. So can you, please, point me to that function in the S3D software interface?
Thanks.

Re: Speed settings for supports
Feel free to edit your original post to add a proper title.
If you want to change the speed of the part printed above the supports, then I think you will want to adjust the bridging speeds (Edit Process Settings > Other tab > Bridging Speed Modifier). That's what gets used for material that is extruded across of supports with nothing else underneath. You can also enable the "Apply bridging settings to perimeters" option if you wan that speed to apply to the perimeters as well.

Re: Speed settings for supports
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Cheers.

Re: Speed settings for supports
Look at bridging speed and minimum bridging area so smaller areas are recognized as bridges. You can reduce the speed for bridges and change the extrusion rate. I have mine at 90% speed and 90% extrusion.
