Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.0 - FINAL

Hello,
Below is an error in creating the gcode when I add M860 S35 ??
Can you help me?
Thank you

I'd try deleting the comment. That degree symbol is not straight ASCII and is the sort of thing that might include a UTF sequence that the compiler barfs on parsing. Technically, a bug in the compiler.

> Can we get the correct extrusion width settings for the different nozzle sizes please?

You should get them over the internet once you restart your Slic3r.

Got them, thanks! 😀

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.0 - FINAL

Would like to see better support options where you able to add and remove supports from the print.
Also would like to see a snap-to face plate option too.

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.0 - FINAL

Nice work!
But where does 1.40.0 store the profiles?
It's not at the place where 1.38. stored them (I skipped 1.39.): "Documents/Prusa3D"

Maybe someone knows...

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.0 - FINAL

If you click on Help tab, and then show Config folder- it will lead you to the profiles

Ahh! Too blind to see it myself!
Thanks a lot for that hint Joe

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.0 - FINAL

Really Solid release! Loving Gyroid infill at 10%. Fast and STRONG!

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - Beta

Update! Beta version of Slic3r PE 1.40.1 released, see the first post for more 😉

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

So I'm new here, and upgraded my week old MK3 from its stock firmware, and the official 2.1.6 software bundle, to the newest beta firmware and slic3r, but am I noticing that the whole thing operates in a much more fluid manner? I swear after the upgrade it was like the thing has been exorcized of an evil demon.

I hope that my comment is received as the compliment it is intended to be! 😆

I swear after the upgrade it was like the thing has been exorcized of an evil demon.That's been my experience since purchasing my Mk3 back in April. It keeps getting better & better, and I appreciate the work that's gone into Slic3r more & more. Good support was one of my main decision points for paying extra for a genuine Prusa, and I'm glad I did.

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

Since the release we are working on updates and improvements. Just yesterday I was discussing about 8-10 changes to the MK3's design based on your feedback. I'm glad our work is visible and appreciated 🙂

Changes "physically" to the MK3 (as in redesigned parts) or to Slic3r Prusa edition? I'm loving the new Slic3r and my MK3! I hope the memory on the Einsy board is not holding you all back. Thanks for all the hard work and updates!

Kind Regards,

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

Those changes were to the printed parts, most of them will be invisible to the user. Just the assembly should be easier. But I'm also giving feedback to the Slic3r devs, based on your and my experience. Currently testing Slic3r PE on macOS Mojave for our team.

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

I posted this under printing tips as well, but I'm not sure if belongs here...

I'm using Slic3rPE 1.40.0 & 1.40.1-beta+. I'm having an issue with Slic3r not generating support for curved surfaces right off the build plate. It lays down one layer of support and one layer of interface, but not enough to support the edges:

Edit: Increasing Print Settings->Support material->Overhang threshold makes it work, but introduces issues with other parts of some models. This seems to be backwards from how I expect it to work.

As a result, the curves are distorted:

I've tried changing interfaces and X, XY separation distances , disabling interface loops and pattern spacing & angle with no luck:

Any tips?

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

Please add more support options.
Add/Remove Support option from the model.

Would like to see something like S3d option if possible.

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

Edit: Figured it out. Need to configure dependencies for each print setting profile. Existing are hard-coded to specific nozzle sizes. Changing these (e.g. from nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4 to nozzle_diameter[0]>=0.4 allows print setting profiles to show up for multiple printers.

I'm having issues creating custom printer profiles on Slic3r PE 1.40.1-beta+.

1. I start with a system printer profile.

2. All system and custom print settings profiles are available.

3. I save the printer profile with a custom name.

4. All system and custom print profiles are still available.

5. I change the nozzle diameter and save the printer profile with a new custom name.

6. No system or custom print settings profiles are available.

7. If I save a custom print settings profile, a random (?) profile is available.

Re: Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.40.1 - beta

Has 1.40.1- beta fixed the slicing speed/CPU core usage issue? In 1.40.0 it only used one core for generating g-code.

Screen shot is a few seconds after the g-code has finished generating. Logical processor 7 shows the slicing load. The drop in logical processor 7 from 100% to near 0 can be seen when the slicing ended.

What is of far more concern is the load on logical processor 3. It went to 100% when the slicing process started and stayed there. A reset was required to release the core and the overall load from 8% to 2%-3% fluctuating.

Without that there is not enough in 1.40.1 - beta to make it worth my while running it.
