Four years later and this video is still useful. So glad I stumbled across this. Thank you for taking your time to make this 101 video.
This is a great tutorial and I managed to work it out for the 5.1.0 version of S3D. Under the advanced tab it is slightly different to the version you were working with 6 years ago. Under advanced, there is a button down the bottom called Custom Zones and that's where the print heights are. Thank for you great videos.
This is one of my favorite tricks, hands down. It was one of the reasons I got Simplify 3D in the first place. :D I really hope that in the near future we get the ability to use intersecting geometry to specify volumetric regions for processes, not just having them be on a layer by layer or individual part basis... Meaning we can do stuff like add very selective reinforcement around screw holes and other structural bits in mechanical parts...
Great tutorial! So much in there...I feel like it will be a “gift that keeps on giving” as I go back and review it again and again over time.
Thanks, am new to this stuff and now have the Prusa Original i3 Mk2. Quite the learning curve this 3D printing, but tons of fun. Your videos are totally educational, just what i needed. Can hardly wait to watch the rest and continue onward to the new. As for others in the community they are all wonderful, some i learn from more than others but again all contribute and am grateful how most if not all share the knowledge freely. Thanks again and peace to the world!
this was extremely informative. I could have knocked so many hours off of my previous jobs if I'd known this. Thank you
By far the best demonstration of using multiple processes. Thank you!
Didn't know about grouped processes, so thanks for that! They're just a patch, though, and the whole process system deserves an overhaul in my opinion.
*[1]* You can store a profile under a single name, but that profile must include concrete values for _all_ settings. A better solution would be to allow you to keep some of those settings unspecified, and then to combine multiple profiles. That way you can have a profile for your _printer_, a profile for your _extruder_, a profile for your _filament_, a profile for your _model_, and then mix-and-match as appropriate. (And yes, it's still possible for profiles to conflict on specific settings, but elegant interface-solutions exist to deal with that.)
*[2]* Some settings within a process (like temperature and cooling) have inherent ways to vary between layers, but for others you have to use multiple processes. If processes become more light-weight and easier to manipulate (possibly in-dialog), every setting could have a uniform method of varying between layers.
Recently bought S3D so will be watching all your videos to maximize my use of this powerful software.
Wow! What a time saver. Love the ability to change layer height to influence the detail for the section.
OMG!!! This will help me HUGE! I have an 8 part, 25 day 24/7 straight printing project I've been avoiding because of the time required and the amount of filament involved! Gonna go check this out right now! THANK YOU HUGELY!!!
This is a HUGE help! Thank Sir... Best show on RUclips right here! :-)
Hey Angus! For a couple of weeks I’ve been watching and learning from your videos because I am venturing into the (“dark side”)3D printing haha. I really appreciate what you do, more power and keep up the great work!
What a tool Simplify3d would be with a halfway decent manual. I have been digging through everything for some time but this had passed me by. Many thanks for this and your other incredibly useful stuff.
I can appreciate why my open source software has no manual, but S3D wants 150.00 and can't provide decent instruction on how to use it? Really?!
I never knew about that group processing trick, awesome vidyo! :P
i just did a 13hs worth of pieces just because I didn't know this trick xD
Awesome video, thanks !
This really helps me hit deadlines. Thanks mate!
Wow, that's pretty cool. I've used Simplify3D since it was originally available, and had no idea that the Processes section could be used to control the process within a print. Thank you
Very good video! Very helpful man!
GREAT video. Learned a few great tricks. Keep it up.
Now i have to say... this is something i am going to start using a lot.... great video... great info... Thanks
Golden video , good stuff captain .
Just when I think I'm getting to know S3D, you show me more! Great stuff.
i just bought S3D for the support features. This looks awesome and can't wait to try it out. thanks for the vid
Simplify3D says I just saved 19 hours of printing time by doing this. Thank you so much!
very good and informative video mate. Thanks.
I had no clue that you could group processes. Been using multiple processes for quite a while but that group tip was worth the time watching the video. Thanks.
You do good videos. Many others simply can't grasp the art of conveying the message.
This literally just blew my mind 😳
Man! This is awesome. Thanks! You gained a new subscriber
Awesome Angus - Thank you
Congrats to this this video. Well explained and one of the most usefull stuff I have seen for a long time. Will save me days on printing.
Really good video. I have known about this but never used it. Now i am going to try it. Thanks..
Very nice, Easy to follow your tutorial. I have been fighting with Simplify3D and this helps.
Thank You
Great tip on the Process grouping. Thanks
another great video, thanks Angus.
Solved one my big problem! Great Thanks!
Thank you for this.......really helpful. Cheers.
Great tips. Thanks!
Angus! You are a great help my friend!
Nice clear explanation! Thanks. Subscribed.
Super helpful! Thank you for this idea!
Awsome, awsome, awesome! I had no idea S3D would do this. I've often thought how handy it would be if i could individually change settings for each area of a print in Cura but no joy.
Thank you - lots of great tips no matter which software used! Really makes the case for learning Simplify3D
I cant believe i just subscribed , I have simplify 3d which is the best but knowledge like this make me glad I bought it
I just wanted to say thanks for being a great 3D printing youtuber and you and 3D printing nerd inspired me to make own videos
Great information, thanks.
Holy shit yes yes yes! With two different nozzle sizes, this can save me dozens of hours. Made my day
Thank you very much for this. Would you consider making a 3D Printing "Tips and Tricks", "Pitfalls to avoid", etc. playlist / series? You obviously know 3D Printing and you are a good teacher.
Watching again and will be using tonight.
Nice one, thanks for that!
great tips. thanks. this is just what I needed for a few production pieces.
Multiple processes for color changes on a single extruder are awesome! 🤘🤘
Great video! Wish I'd seen it sooner! 👍🏻😎
Awesome video. Loved to learn what can be done with the software.
I always figured it could do this but haven't dinked with it to try it out. Thanks for the info, great seeing it in action before I experiment :) .
Great video - thanks. Very useful for a S3D newbie like myself.
Cura uses 'build shapes' concept: using 3d shapes to define different printer settings.
Makes for interesting intersections!
The hammer could have two dense faces with a tough rod connecting them and a socket for the handle; a hollow shell simply defines the outer shape.
Strength only where needed!
Awsome video. Thanks a zillion for that.
wow! that came at the right moment, thanx so much!
Well done. Your video is very informative. Thank you.
You've earned yourself a new sub today my friend.
drinking game. drink every time Angus says multiple processes.
do you want me to die. i do shots of everclear.
im dnurk
I'll be more wasted than the Americans tax payers money
Every process after the first needs (at least for me) to have the 'first layer thickness' set to 100% or I get a noticeable line. Great video, great software. thx
Thanks for the tip :)
very informative thanks!
Thank you very much , it was very helpful
awesome tip!
Bro! you are awesome!!!
PRETTY USEFULLY VIDEO .... Awesome
just what I needed
wow this is great video!! thanks for the tip...I like your channel, you explain easy to comprehend and learn new things..cheers for that!
Thanks for these. :) It has helped me a lot.
One thing to note, is if you're printing in ABS and you have the top/bottom solid layers in between processes, I have seen that it can cause some layer separation at that point. In ABS I got better results with no top/bottom layers anywhere inside the model. But I also changed infill percentages more gradually.
25% to 15% for a few layers, 10% for a few layers, to 5% for a few layers. Then vise versa ramping to to areas that needed higher. It made for a lot of processes, but it worked really well.
Couldn't have done it without your tutorials. :)
Great points, ABS does behave funny when you mess with infill or layer height changes. I think it's because the infill is like bow strings, and if you vary the 'tension' it'll do funny things to the shrinkage. More gradual changes would help massively! Good tips :) Glad they helped, but so does your experiences! Thanks.
I believe ABS was specifically engineered to have shrinkage to pop out of molds. So it is interesting working with that quality.
Awesome, I will keep this in my history for a while. I'm still waiting to get my printer.
Briliant!
Wow, this is great just what I need
Very good tutorial on this vids thanks
Thanks for the video. I'm going to start evaluating my prints more closely and start using this technique. Kinda wish I would have watched this video before I started my current print. lol
Great video, I learned a lot, thank you...
In prusaslicer you can use modifier meshes and adjust infill and other settings very precisely
Hot damn Angus! Being somewhat new to S3D but not to printing THAT was precisely the information I needed! And you shared this 6 years ago, but it's still VERY helpful. Massive kudos to you Sir! Like our good @Robakld below I had to look around my 5.1 version to find 'Custom Zones' but now I have some much more handier tools. ALSO, appreciate the added ability to change the layer height at specific points to increase the exterior details, but for only that specific section, thereby not slowing the printing process for the entire model just for that section/portion of the model...Thanks again pard'!
Good video! Thanks.
I'm from Russia and i understand your english speech very well. Thanks for good speech :)
That is extremely helpful, I already know where I can use that :D
And since you are using Simplify3D you can use a higher layer height for infill lines and only print the infill every few passes. So if you are printing at .1mm everywhere and you use a .3 infill height but tell the slicer to lay this infill line down only every three layers you will save even more time.
Thank you. I have learned saving time :-)
Awesome!
Thanks for the tip!
very helpful video, thanks :)
This video just cut 7 hours off my print time. Thank you very much for the tips and tutorial.
Excellent tip! I was wondering what those "processes" were anyway :)
Thank you for a great tip
Thanks for the video
Just brought a printing time from 44h to 32h with this knowledge!
Wow this is great. I just started 3D printing and using cura. I will download this software instead since it seems more detailed.
this saved my life!! Thanks dude. If ever in Texas hit me up.
nice guide, greetings from germany
Thank you - Good to know - Now I/We do! I need a checklist to hit all those settings (that is what rewind is for!) Thanks again!
That's very cool. I'm gonna try and use this technique to make a "Roly Poly" toy. I'll use a high infill % for the bottom half of the bottom sphere to keep it bottom-heavy.
Nice Angus -- and man! -- I really hope the FOSS slicers start catching up to the commercial stuff...
Very useful :)
Hi Angus, my favorite S3D feature is sparse infill. I bet you could get a similar time on the top part using 0.1 layer height and printing the infill every three layers.
