Playback of Slicing Result

Being a new Mini+ owner I have recently started to use PrusaSlicer instead of Simplify3D which has been my slicer of choice for a long time. But the development of S3D seems to have halted and while it's a nice program with all the functions I need, PrusaSlicer is really a more tempting choice given its built in support for Prusa Mini+. There is one function that I miss in PrusaSlicer: the ability to playback the slices in realtime or at faster speeds, without having to manyally move slider in the right hand side of the window. Dear developers: please consider to add auto playback!

RE: Playback of Slicing Result

This is mainly a user to user forum.  While the devs do occasionally pop in here its not often.  Bug reports and feature suggestions need to be made at the Prusa Slicer github site.  That is located here https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues   Issues created there get a proper number and at least get seen by the devs.

While I realize what I'm about to tell you still counts as manual. If you simply click once on the horizontal slider arrow, you can then use the left and right arrow keys to play the animation forwards or backwards and regular speeds. if you want it to play faster, you will press and hold the shift key while pressing the left or right arrow key, this  will cause the animation to play 5 times faster then normal. and it you need a fine touch you can use your mouse wheel, if you have that kind of mouse and scroll forwards or backwards. If while your playing the animation you don't want to see the G code commands on the left then Just hit the C key first and they will disappear from view, and C will also bring them back in you need them.

 

You still have to push a button but its there.

 

Enjoy
