Simplify3d and Filament Timings

@markz I'll fix this in 3.5beta2. Please supply a sample GCode file produced by S3D v5 so that I can test it.

@dc42 Here you go. This prints a small object using PETG. Let me know if you want something different. Looking at the GCode file, line 266 calls my init macro - which you can just comment out - it does a home then wipes the nozzle.

@markz thanks. It's a good thing I asked you for a file because I had failed to notice the change in case of the letter L in the text to search for! I now have this working in the 3.5 source code.

@dc42 Thank you very much.

@dc42 Just to let you know we updated one of our machines to 3.5.0-b3 still with Simplify3D 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 no filament usage in the Jobs lists.

I am in the same exact boat. I’ve had s3d I think since it’s inception. It was unpleasantly expensive but it was also just far better that the slap dash free sliders at the time (manual supports and a good preview were a game changer). But I’ve just been using it on momentum for the last few years.

New slices have interesting infills and organic tree ports and all sorts of fun feature. I was hoping s3d would step up so I wouldn’t have to recalibrate everything for a new slicer, but I think we’ve reached that point.

@dvmourik please supply a sample GCode file.

Here are 3 versions (5.0.0 and 5.0.1 and 5.1.0)

S3D500-Cube250micron_30m_15gr_PLA_T3500SE_08n.gcode
S3D510-Caps_2h40m_PLA_T3000SE_1n.gcode
S3D501-Cube300micron_40m_8gr_PLA_T3500SE_04n.gcode

@dvmourik thanks. The filament length in those files is already recognised in the 3.5.0-beta.3 build of RRF. I have back-ported the change so that it will be included in the forthcoming 3.4.6 release too.
