How do I fix horrible path on hollow round objects.

[steve918]

I have a circular object that is about 9inches/22cm ID with a 4-7mm wall. I haven't been able to find a setting generates anything short of terrible. I ended up slicing this up in Cura and it took 8 hours instead of 12 and has basically zero of the jumping around nonsense.

I saw this post on Reddit!

Could you upload a Factory File, it would be much easier to troubleshoot with a Factory File uploaded!

-Factory files – a combined file to retain your entire project

Saving a Factory File picSimplify3D offers a unique way to save all the information about your project into one comprehensive file, known as a “Factory File”. The Factory File includes a copy of the 3D models that have been imported, their positions on the bed, your Process settings, and any custom support material that has been created.

Whenever you exit the Simplify3D Software, the state of the application is automatically saved so that you can easily resume where you left off the next time you open the program. There is no need to save a Factory File each time you close and reopen the program. However, there are other times you may want to save this file such as sharing your project with a friend or creating a back-up for personal use.

To save a Factory File: in the top menu bar, click File > Save Factory File As.

Yea, a factory file would definitely help see what settings you have turned on that can be causing this really exaggerated toolpath movements.

I whipped up a quick cylinder and have sliced it to preview the toolpaths

This is with the default profile in Simplify3D:

Here is what happens when I change the default "optimize start point" to "random start point"

Your movement (red lines) seem to be really strangely generated!

specify a start point.
