simplify3d v3.0

... I may also have different ideas for what's an acceptable way to treat the machine and the expectations for it.

I doubt it !!! lol I want to run as fast as I can and still get good prints.

if no one has found this, simplify 3d has a you tube channel. they have a bunch of new videos there showing new features.

If you haven't tried this yet, turn on Perform retraction during wipe movement under Advanced and print out a cylindrical object. Gives a fantastic seam. It's not completely invisible, but to my eye it is much improved.

I have been using this on all prints and it really seams...lol to help !!!

Upped to 250 and y axis skipped guess I'm stuck at 200 it runs beautifully at 200 and 60mms print speed petg 100 percent infill width.

Personally I have never been able to just run the s3d files as is. They default to running the m2 too fast and I always have to lower the x y speed or else risk skipping steps. I wish they would change the default as it seems a lot of other users have seen the same.

I just covered my rails in motor oil, and now I print at 140mm/sec for PLA, with 250mm/sec travel moves. The M2 is beefy, use it



i run 1200 accel on the dual, and 1800 on the singles though

140? Cripes I thought I was being risky when I upped my speed to 90mm/s print speed.

Whats the ringing/detail like at that speed?

It doesn't ring too badly, not sure why mine's a magic snowflake. The people I'm printing for don't care though.

The v4 seems to cut down on it some, the all aluminum construction flexes less than the ABS & PEEK holding in the brass barrels. I also run a low acceleration.

Hey all can someone help me or explain this: Under the Advanced Tab there is the tool change retraction. It does not seam to work correctly. I cannot input a negative tool retraction only positive, but retract is a negative number not positive. the restart distance can be positive or negative all though i do not understand retracting when you are trying to extrude what you retracted. Am i looking at they wrong or is there a mistake in values in this section?

[sprior]

Tool change retract can only mean sucking the filament back into the nozzle a little so from your perspective it's an inherently negative value, but then a positive value would make no sense so the parameter is specified unsigned.
