Well, I figured out the problem and feel stupid at the same time. I was not using the latest version of Prusa_Slic3r. I was using the initial release 1.31.2 for some reason. I found the latest release on their github page (https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/releases) and am now using 1.31.6 which is ...

Ok, I was able to replicate the issue with something I could share. The only difference with the two STL's is that the large one was scaled up 10x before creating the STL. The file size is the same, the amount of facets used to create the STL is the same. When I open the large one it is not able to ...

Thanks guys, I don't think it's a resource issue. 12 Core 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon Processor, 24 GB Ram, 500 GB solid state hard drive, NVidia Quadro 5000, Win 7, Prusa Slic3r 1.31.2 I did find under Printer Settings > Advanced where you can set the number of threads and changing that helps load down the ...

So I've been trying some of the recomended slicers and I'm really enjoying the cubic infil available with the Prusa Slic3r however I have an issue that makes it unusable. Whenever I try to load an STL of 1mb or larger it chokes and can't process the file. Some of these parts I am printing are admitt...

You need to save your 3D View window before going to Layer View.

I'm curious as to if you have tried MatterControl 1.6 I've been using it since I built my V2 last year as I just haven't had much of a reason to use something else. However since the upgrade I am getting some strange results which make it rather unusable. Just wondering if it is me or if others are ...

I agree, something is quite off after the update. I think it is in the slicer (Matterslice) not MaterControl as I can change to a different slicer engine and it doesn't give me these results. This is a part which is 0.4mm thick thus should print with one perimeter all the way around yet since the up...

Is it doing something like this?

Thanks for the invite. I saw the info about that event last year and had thought about trying to attend. Unfortunately it's far enough that it would be an overnight for us which is hard to manage with a group like ours.

ok, lowered max feedrate to 150 and travel acceleration to 1500. No problems on the initial travel to Z=0 like before. Is it safe to leave these settings this way or is it going to be a limitation in the future?

mhackney wrote: 1) jogging speed and acceleration too high. Lower these by 50% and test. What are your speeds and accelerations?

Specifically you are talking about max feedrate and travel acceleration correct?

Ahhh, I was wondering why it wasn't embedding!

Hi All, I got this printer assembles a couple weeks ago and I'm having some troubles. With some prints the x axis stops on the initial decent as it is trying to take the hot end to z=0. I've only gotten a couple successful prints out of it. One being the PEEK fan shroud. I have not been able to prin...

Hi All, I am the leader of a robotics group for middle and high school age kids in Central Illinois. We've dabbled around with 3D printing a little and I use it some at work. We've had some experience with an UP, Taz3, Makerbot 2x but they have always been shared resources thus we've been limited wi...
