David,
Today I loaded your firmware 1.09a and I just had to let you know how pleased I am with the new move code, the machine seems to be running a lot smoother and the quality of the prints are better.

Think I know the answer to this, but is there any firmware limit to the Z axis maximum? I am asking as I was looking at rebuilding my Ormerod to print up to around 400mm on the Z axis

You can set Z axis minima and maxima using M208, but the firmware does not currently enforce them. Maybe it should?

Hi Dario,
What differences are you seeing in print quality?
Also out of interest does Simplify3D give better quality?
Thanks
Jon

Really?
Must be some kind of bottleneck in the software processing for it to take that long. I have loaded some fairly complex models and slicing has taken no more than a minute with support structure. Do you have any idea how many triangles are in the file that makes the STL or OBJ?

I'm not saying the support structure is perfect and haven't tried Simplify3D, I was just trying to understand how complex the model was for it to take 2 days to process, what PC processor are you using, I have an older dual core overclocked equivalent to around a 3.2Ghz intel i3
I have used Slic3r 1.1.7, 1.2.7 and have just downloaded 1.2.8, don't think they have changed anything to do with support structure recently though.
The picture of the Z support in black does look very good, is that with the earlier firmware and do you have a pic of what it looks like with 1.09a or any other comparison pics of print quality vs 0.78?

Hi dc42,
too many quality problems ... back to previous It seems much better.
