How do I get rid of the bed graphics that depict the machine selected. I deleted the stl file in prefs but the thing comes right back. This SHOULD be a checkbox preference in prefs. The graphics get in the way and provide very little value to me.

Agreed. It just started working for me, but it adds nothing.

Go to File > Export FFF Profile, save the profile to your hard drive, and open it in a text editor. Just edit the following 2 lines to look like this

<overridePrinterModels>1</overridePrinterModels>
<printerModelsOverride></printerModelsOverride>

That will make sure that the printer model is always disabled. Once you're done, save the file and go to FIle > Import FFF to load it back in

I was able to do it for the replicator 2. I assume I'll have to do it to every profile with the worthless graphic?
This should have had a user setting in prefs!

this is interesting - i was searching on the forums on how to turn on / off the bed graphic and I ran into this topic.

I had the previous version of S3D installed on my desktop, and when I did the software upgrade, it didnt show the bed graphic (rep2).
But, I installed the newest version of S3D onto my laptop, fresh installation (no previous S3Ds installed), and it showed the bed graphic.

Anyway - definitely would be help if it was a simple checkbox in the user interface :D
