Relative E

[maddog7]

Hi all,
I'm new to S3D. I have a couple of Mendel90's. This printer uses relative extrusion and eg in Cura if I didn't set that in the gcode the extruder would go nuts spewing out filament like mad. Now I've not got a single issue (so far) with S3D. It prints perfectly, brilliantly in fact, but I notice there is a setting in the FFF for relative e and I don't have it checked. I'm only printing direct to USB at the minute so don't know if this setting just affects gcode exported to SD?
It's working really well and I have no compliants I'd just like to know what the situation is with this?
Cheers

The setting affects the GCode produced by the slicing engine. Whether you're printing with S3D directly or saving the GCode off to a file to print with some other software or via an SD card, it's all the same GCode.

Thanks for that dsegel,
I wonder then how I'm getting such good results?
I suppose I should just keep taking the tablets......
