Simplify 4.0+ issues with M3-ID

Anyone else having all kinds of Simplify errors with their m3-ID? Random travel moves to the corner of the bed, odd defects in prints, poor quality etc. This is using modified versions of the stock PLA or ABS settings.

Not sure which version you are using and I do not have an M3, but I can tell you the latest version 4.10 is junk. I did not upgrade from 4.01 due to all the major dis-function seen in the their forum as people started beta testing.. I mean upgrading.. If you bought 4.10 you may want to contact their support and ask for a downgrade.. they probably won't do it as it looks like they want to release version 5 so the can charge for it.. From what I saw, looks like someone with no idea how 3d printing works was given the job for adding modifications to the existing 4.0 code tree and then they did not do a closed beta test..

Thank you for posting this. I've been pulling my hair out with 4.1 and stringing. I just visited the S3D forums and its supposed to be fixed in 4.1.1. A 2 hour print job on 4.1 slices as 1:45 job when using version 3. I'm going back to version 3. BTW, I've still got each version installed on my machine so it doesn't look like the upgrades removed them. I've also got the older installers if anyone needs them.

I am also curious about this. I've had S3D since the beginning and this is the first time I haven't upgraded to the latest version because of people's concerns (I'm still on 4.0.0, works great). I have a M3-ID now but used S3D with the M2 and the M2 Dual with no problems.

This is where I found the reference to the problem in 4.1. I've been fighting it for over a month. YMMV

Wouldn't it be nice if Simplify would put out an update? They haven't been helpful at all despite multiple videos, gcodes, factory files, etc.

Another issue is I can't print high infills. No matter what I select it prints at 25%ish infill, much lighter than my typical 50% infill I use with my M2s.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed? I don't see a new version after 4.1 on the Simplify website and I haven't seen any posts or videos saying any fix has occurred. What are ppl doing to avoid this issue? Is it possible to revert to a 3.x version?
