Wanhao 5S

Hi I order the software and installed it, but I cannot find the Wanhao 5s (not mini) settings in the configuration drop down?
The printer is listen on this website as supported?

Thanks for helping me out.

Re: Wanhao 5S

Nice! That's a nice printer! My buddy really likes his and he's been getting awesome prints once he switched to S3D

I'm pretty sure all he did was follow the instructions at this link: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2032

It's pretty simple, but if you have questions, let us know!

Re: Wanhao 5S

The only difference between the 5S Mini and the larger 5S is the Z-height. So just change the Z-axis build volume size in the G-Code tab.

You can import profiles by going to File > Import FFF Profile...

Re: Wanhao 5S

My friend said the same thing. It really improved his quality. It's shocking how many 5S users don't even know there's another option though...
