Hi all,

Before I upgrade, me and many of the members in the 3D printing RC community are wondering, does the V5 version with the new STL fixing algorithm, mess up the way thin-wall slicing works?

For example here is the sample part: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:998525

3Dlabprint has traditionally (since 2015) always highly recommended S3D, and has provided factory files for all their designs which have been very successful.

So, does this all still work on V5?

@Simplify3D please DM or email me and I can send through a sample factory file and STL's if you need to test.

Thanks for your time. Excited to see you're back in the game.

Your Thingi-File in S3D - V5

This is a Sample from my Edge. Open as Factory file and directly sliced without changing parameters.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

As a representative of 3DLabPrint, I have to disappoint you. Majority of the factory files that used to work in V4 end up empty. Even with the Edge wing mentioned above, not all the internal features are there.

From my observation, the V5 works just as PrusaSlicer (and every other slicer) used to work before they made a slicing mode called Even/Odd. Back in 2014, the V4 behaviour was unique to Simplify3D and that, along with the possibility to set different processes along the Z height, was why we started to promote it as the slicer to go.

the V5 version still allows for thin-wall 3D printed wings and airplane slicing. The new STL fixing algorithm does not interfere with the thin-wall slicing process. You can continue to use Simplify3D with confidence. Feel free to DM or email us with the sample factory file and STL's for further testing.

This is a pretty old thread, but yet, this issue was already resolved in our prior 5.0.1 release. You can read instructions here:
viewtopic.php?p=64212#p64212

3DLabPrint also has similar instructions on their own website. They mention that 5.0.0 didn't work with their files, but 5.0.1 works correctly with their instructions.
