RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

I have just compared prints from S3D and Prusa Slicer and I don't see any dimensional difference. my model long axis was along the X axis, my model narrow axis was along the Y axis, and the intermediate axis was Z!

Simplify 3D profiles often embed some machine parameters in the start gcode. Open a S3D generated gcode file in a text editor and look for a series of M20X lines near the top. Compare these to the values entered in Machine settings in PrusaSlicer. 

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

Maybe i did  not  describe the problem clearly  , the part i design  using OpenScad software  . print it  in my old printer  using S3D    and then printed it using   the MK3  printer with  both S3d  and  Pronterface   and the part was shorter in X both cases . Any idea ?

@sonra

are you saying the when designed the part was say 100mm long, but both Prusa slicer and S3D print it at say 99mm long?

can you save the Prusa Slicer version, as a project file (.3mf) then zip compress the file and attach the compressed zip file to the next post? 

regards Joan

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

I think what @sonra is saying is that the part was sliced in S3D, and the gcode printed to the Mk3 via Pronterface, and the result is 99mm versus the same printed to another printer at 100mm. My suggestion to compare the M20x hardware settings stands.

Hi the part X=34mm  in design  After print it is 32 mm

Hi the part X=34mm  in design  After print it is 32 mm

for some reason I get a message from the forum that I can  not attach zip files

Hi Sonra,
I have Private Messaged you.

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

Hi Sonra

when I sliced and printed your file, it came out almost exactly 34mm
Note the frame is supported in mid air, in the picture so there must be a little clamping effect. in reality this is probably 33.99mm +- tollerance on the vernier calliper... 

if yous a lot different?

the dimensions in Prusa Slicer are coming out at 34 x29 x 3mm

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

hi 

Can you send  to me your setting for the  S3d  software  .Maybe some setting cause the problem

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

Sorry I printed in Prusa Slicer...  

I will give S3D a try
regards Joan

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

Here you are Sonra, 

this one came out 34.27 x 29.22 x 3 
and the FFF file is Prusa Research Original Prusa i3 MK3 (modified)

Hi 

i try your profile but it does not help. I attach  picture  the left part  is from my old printer the right is from the  Prusa  as you can see there is  shift in some layers  S o  i suppose some thing is nor set OK in the printer 

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

@sonra

It looks that way Sonra

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software ( problem solved )

Hi

Found the problem  the X  motor pulley screws were not tighten

Thanks for help Doron

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

@sonra

Small screw, big cause. I would also take the opportunity to check the other pulleys and the belt tensions. There is a small and simple tool for calibrating the belt tension: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/46639-tension-meter-for-the-gt2-belts-of-i3-mk3s-or-prus

happy printing!

RE: try to print using Simplify3d software

thanks will try the tool
