agreed, however, it has potential being that it is dual core and runs a 32bit processor. Could run slicing software on it, but it will probably be realyl slow.

i have the same problem, no connect with s3d...
do you have the proper drivers installed? Are you using the correct baud rate? what errors are you seeing?

I do not believe so. This is their second iteration of portabee's.
Checked on my order:
QuotePortabee Order TrackerOrder #XXXX which was made 4 months ago has the status “processing”.
I didn't want to bombard them with E-Mails, so besides my initial one back in July (they got back to me) and another one I sent on September 9th (didn't get back to me) I have yet to hear from them.

Lead time is 10 Weeks, been 3 months since I placed my order. Sent an initial email and received this response July 16:
QuoteHello,
Apologies for the delays, we are responding to some initial feedback we have had about the GO, and working in some improvements and upgrades in the current batch.
It will be a few weeks more, sincere apologies, we know it has been an extended wait already.

This is incorrect AFAIK. They resell filament made in the US from a reputable supplier. I won't name names since it's not my supply chain.
That said, I only buy filament from Ultimachine. The quality is excellent and consistent. I tried cheap filament and concluded it was not worth the cost savings. It only takes 1 failed print due to mis-spooled filament or diameter swells to

Not to divert the topic too much, but I have always been a huge supporter of UltiMachine filament, never had problems with their filament, it's always quality. I believe they manufacture it in-house (i.e. it's actually their filament).
Couldn't pass up the MicroCenter deal though. Picked up a few spools at $15.99/spool. Incredible deal compared to what I'm used to. Have had really good results

Im thinking you could proabbly get away with less solid top & bottom layers. extruder width in my experience has always been set to manual and is the same size as the nozzle diameter, it's very odd it was at .42, what is the setting for the nozzle diameter on the process vs your machine's nozzle diameter? Once you fine tune your extrusion multiplier, it's always good to measure the diameter

care to share the model? I've had nothing but great prints, I know mrdoctordiv is a fellow s3d user on this board and has been getting great prints as well.

The text problem was actually a failure in the file, it had errors that even netfabb basic could not fix. I guess Simplify3D was more forgiving in that respect.
ahh I see, If it was missing manifolds/triangles in the STL file, I know s3d does mesh repair, believe the setting for errors is in the advanced or other tab forget which one. Been using it for a few months now.

So I remade it using Slic3r and the results are perfect... Hope I didn't waste $140 on Simplify3D, it's suppose to be way better than Slic3r.
I wouldn't say "perfect". It seems like the text came out much nicer in your s3d print. Higher infill + more top layers, as I'm sure you've already gathered...

I;m not really sure what you mean by an amf file. You can import dual extrusion parts and set them up for each extruder pretty easily.

Next issue: slicing large models. Slic3r lets out a little whimper and rolls over dead when I go above a certain size. Looking at various forums it seems like it's run out of memory even though I have 16GB, I guess it's just not grabbing enough of it. Does anybody know of any other decent slicers?
Simplify3D looks the dog's proverbials, but such niceness is never free. Has anyone t

So I got around to making it. 17-18 hour print, somehow didn't jam even though I used the pro filament, which the E3D v5 hotend doesn't like. I've got my v6 on the way to solve that. 0.2mm layer height, sliced with Simplify3D . Printed on heavily modified Solidoodle 3. Pro PLA gold from MatterHackers. Printed slow and steady as I wanted no mistakes in the middle of the print.

I've replaced my RAMPS board a couple times..., not sure about BEST price, but I originally bought a kit from UltiMachine, which was RAMPS only, was pretty expensive, but wanted to support them since they are the original devs/creators of the RAMPS board I believe.
But now I go with lulzbot, price isnt bad, $45 USD:
I usually don't need to buy another arduino or stepper motors, and that board

MrDoctorDIV, in Simplify3D I set my extra inflation distance to .05 under the supports tab, and it has worked wonders for me in terms of removing supports. You should try it out!

what you suggested is basically a patent on a licensing deal. If i wanted to print out a patented design, there's really nothing stopping me from doing so any utilizing it privately, it's when I try to sell a patented design without any sort of licensing agreement is when I can be sued for infringing a patent.
In my opinion, if someone wants to take an open source design, assemble it, and sell f

bore out the the hole in the budapter a bit just to make sure it allows your filament to go through freely and with little to no friction, then place it in the cavity.

from personal experience, PLA is the easiest to print with. prints come out nicely with or without heated bed, it's just a matter of tuning the printer to produce nice quality prints. 3mm vs 1.75mm isnt a big issue in my opinion, my personal reprap runs off of 3mm which prints just as nicely and detailed than 1.75mm printers. But the current trend, in my opinion, is more and more printers are sta

I hope it didn't come off as me thinking slicing time is the most important aspect of a slicing software. Indeed, at the end of the day, the most important thing is the reliability and quality of the G-Code generated, I only highlighted and talked about the speed of the two softwares because it is the nature of this particular thread.

Slic3r
No you're not alone! It seems more and more users are popping up here and there. How do you like S3D? IMO, it's great, the slicing speed is just amazing. I used to be really against printing supported prints, but now I'm not as worried since the supports are really good with S3D.
just FYI, the trex showerhead is a LOOOOONG print lol, but it works amazingly well. just put some teflon tape around

Tried slicing with Slic3r 1.0.0, I know the newest version is 1.0.1 (stable) but I havent updated since I bit the bullet and bought a different slicer. After about 5 minutes, I just cancelled the slice. Just as a testimonial in case anyone was wondering about Simplify3D, it sliced the model and generated gcode in 15 seconds. I tried my best to match up the settings between slicer and simplify3d a
