Stuttering curves on Makerbot Replicator Z18
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2022 1:17 pm
I have recently switched from slicing on the MakerBot cloud platform to slicing with S3D, but I noticed that the curves are not printing as well as when sliced on MakerBot cloud. It appears that, when sliced with S3D, the printer travels through the curved section with a stuttering movement of short segments instead of a continuous curve as it does when the model was sliced on MakerBot cloud. Print sliced with S3D also takes significantly longer to print. Is there any setting I can modify on S3D that will fix the problem? I tried the ArcWelder plugin, but I don't think it works with .makerbot output format.
These are images of the two test prints printed on the same printer (MakerBot Replicator Z18, firmware version 2.6.2)

The Setting used on both prints:
2400mm/min outline speed,
single outline with 0% infill (vase mode),
0.2mm layer height,
200 °C,
Thanks a lot!
