Simplify3D User Forum

Hey Guys! First post here, I've been an S3D user for about a year now. I'm running a MakerGear M2.

Would it be possible to show layers that are affected by the speed override settings in the preview?

If I know that layers are being slowed down, I can place a copy of the object I'm printing to possibly avoid the extra time from the speed override.
I do this anyway by looking at the estimated total time, but a visual confirmation in the preview would be great.

Thank you!

I think the preview is already colored based on the print speed. So if you see regions where the color is changing (usually getting more blue), this means the print is slowing down. I don't know any other settings that would make that happen besides the cooling stuff. So that would be an easy way to visually see when that is happening.

You are absolutely right, I'm not sure how I never realized that. Thank you!

They problem is that they use the maximum machine speed as the top end of that graph, for me 300mm/s, so printing between 10mm/s and 40mm/s is the same color. I've e-mailed them on this and got the "great idea, I'll forward that to software development" response that I typically get when making requests.

If you want to see it, temporarily decrease your rapid move speed down just above print speed and you can see all the things you want to see, but don't forget to bring it back up.
