Carefull with Simplify3D 3.1 with small details

Posted (edited) · Carefull with Simplify3D 3.1 with small details

I sent a ticket to S3D, but well, I bet there's no sollution.

Simplify3D 3.0.2 slices much worse the 'tiny' details. I can't show the printed stuff, but check this layer of tiny texts. On the LEFT it's 3.0.1, on the RIGHT it's 2.2.2. The path seems 'intelligent' but the results are very dirty layers and very bad definition on the printed, even at very low speeds. So, if you see weird stuff with your S3D, try to use the other version.

Edit: It's 3.0.2, not 3.1

Edit 2:

Ok this is bananas. I been having the error for the WEEK. And wen't back to 3.0.2 to give it a try again, created a new profile from scratch, render and the bug was gone, then loaded the Factory file and now it slices it properly..... I suspect this it's a error that will come and go. If you get this error, make a new profile, a default one, and check the slicer results to see if that fixed the problem. Weird weird stuff.

This was a known bug on the release of 3.0 they fixed it in a few of the patches, but took a few tries. But also they did appear to change how it handled thin areas so there is some issues still for some people. But yea it did take rebuilding a new profile to get the fix applied..

    Really? That sucks..

    Well I recall some back and forth on that issue, of if it was design flaw or bug or intentional etc.. I bought S3D right when v3 was released and was on the forums for weeks during that time and all I saw was people upset about this issue. Ended up being a bug due to the new slicer code, but part of it was intentional too.. So its hit or miss if you will have the issues.. I would tell you to try single wall but your screen shots show you did that already..

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
