Using Slic3r with my UM2

Posted · Using Slic3r with my UM2

Hi there,

Unfortunately due to the lack of options in Cura I would like to go back to using Slic3r.

So my question is what do I have to change in to make it compatible?

Will copying the start/end code from Cura in Slic3r be enough?

If anyone would be kind enough to post these here, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

Charles

    Did you find a solution ever since ? I'm having the same problem (missing options, Zscar and infill every n layer mostly, and disabling the extra infill Cura adds sometime), and can't yet find a way to make Slic3r work with the UM, and I don't want to test thousands of faulty gcode trying to extrude without heating or smashing the head into one axis's limit ....

    It's a shame, because except for these few options, I'd choose Cura over Slic3r every time otherwise !

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
