Simplify3D question
-
I agree, the "small perimeters" speed in slic3r was very useful, and I miss it in S3D. I gave up on slic3r because it kept crashing, but perhaps I should try the Prusa edition.
-
The windows version I am using crashes around 10 times less often, it loads faster and it slices faster too, and I've been sending in bug reports which do get attention and fixes within a week or so, so its in active development.
-
Im glad I could provide some useful information!
Prusa was trying to work together with someone from the original slic3r, but apparently that slowed development too much so he created his own branch. Recently the original slic3r has been getting updates, but I still found it was crashing too often, and the Prusa edition has some cool features like variable layer height and is updated more frequently.
dc42, I had the same problem, loved slic3r but the constant crashing led me to s3d. I tried the Prusa edition a few months ago, and I have been using it ever since (I use both slic3r and s3d now) without a single crash.
It's becoming embarrassing what s3d lacks, I really wish they would start releasing major updates again.

Okay so im running prusa slic3r 1.34 and cannot see the "small perimeters" options anywhere. There is an "external perimeters", and "perimeters"….. Where should I be looking?

try using dimafix, expensive but does the job.

That sounds like it's either been moved or dropped. I'm still on Prusa edition 1.31.5 and "Small Perimeters" are between "Perimeters" and "External Perimeters" (same as Slic3R 1.2.9).

I am on 1.34.0 and I have small perimeters speed setting.
-
Where is it then I can't find it in 1.34.1
-
I just installed 1.34.1. It is there too. "Print Settings->Speed"

Using this scripting process you could make outside lines to have special accel/jerk and keep the non visible prts at max speed

Juat read the scripting and add the gcodes for each part
