You'd be surprised how many people don't actually look at the gcode before printing. Slic3r has a great layer preview mode, extremely useful for catching mistakes early. If you want to see line-by-line execution, I generally throw it into gcode.ws, it'll allow you to see the order a layer is printed. Gcode.ws also gives a pretty accurate estimated print time, and amount of filament used.
Angus your videos are a great resource. I had made a little statue for my parents dog who had recently passed away with help from a previous video. The print failed horribly because the slicer didn't grab the ears for support. I glanced at the g-code preview and thought it was good enough. After it failed I really looked at it and noticed that there wasn't any supports on the ears. No matter what I tried I couldn't get the ears to be supported. I remembered one of your videos talked about a slicer that you could manually put in supports. Off to RUclips I went looking for that video. I found it and purchased Simplfy3D. I used your videos for a crash course on how to use it and the print turned out great. That was two months ago. I immediately subscribed to your channel after the print turned out great. The price for Simplify3D was well worth it seeing how happy my parents were when I gave them the statue. Thanks for the great videos.
Your videos inspired me to purchase Simplify3D, and I have to say, the best $150 I have ever spent on software! What a fantastic slicer!
I completely agree. Wait till you contact their support, you will be even more impressed, they're fantastic.
Again a very good tutorial with very good footage, good narrative structure, and high quality video editing as always! It's like opening up a Christmas present every time you upload a new video. Thank you for making that a recurring experience for such a long time now.
Watching it in 2020 saved me a lot of time and helped understand a lot of things. thanks
I actually just yesterday stopped a print from printing an overhang without any solid bottom layers. I had selected multiple processes and had started the final one at the wrong location and would have ended up with a large hole. Seriously, simplify3d is worth every penny, the preview is amazingly helpful.
I pretty much babysit my prints. I am looking at it, at all times!! lol. sometimes you can save a print by just having a pair of handy clippers.
great video! love these S3D tutorials. learned some new tricks :) woo!
Agreed. Please keep the S3D tutorials coming. I bought my first 3D printer used from an experienced 3D printer user who highly recommended S3D and gave me his S3D settings for that printer. I have two other 3D printers now and S3D has worked great for them as well. I have never had any reason to try any other slicer. I feel that most commercial software that I buy is overpriced for what I receive in a majority of cases but S3D earns its keep.
Since the 1st print I tried with my Ender 3 actually dug the nozzle into bed and now I'm waiting for a replacement magnet cover, I'm learning all about G-Code and how to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks sir!
Now thats handy to prevent failed prints...
I started a print once and walked away, returning 8 hours later to find it came unstuck from the bed, pooled around the nozzle and hardened into a big ball, destroying the heater and thermister. Good opportunity to buy an E3D v6!
i like your videos because you are not hiding or falsify information like others do. keep it up because you are on the good side....
Thanks for the feedback, I'm interested to know who you are referring to however...
3d printing nerd.
So, what am I hiding or what information am I falsifying?
i am sorry that i offended you, maybe you are sincere, and i do not want you any harm, again i am sorry but i have a problem with a certain eris 3d printer, that you reviewed in a favorable and positive manner and i think of it in a negative way...and i think he have a native bed leveling problem, and i received very bad support also. sorry for being so hard.
JALBA DAVID Hey! First, I'm not offended at all! I just want to make sure I can clear up anything if you possibly heard wrong. I must say, I never reviewed the Eris 3d printer. Maybe you are thinking of someone else?
for those, who don't have simplify 3D, like me, you can actually do the same in craftware, it's a free and really powerfull slicer
while craftware has the functionality, i felt like it was giving out way worse surface quality than cura. which is why I went back to cura after a short time.
that said I tested craftware half a year ago.
Thanks Angus, very helpful and informative; didn't even know you could add customised support structures like that!
2 things that keep me awake:
1) Does the/a Printer take into account for Shrinkage?
2) Does the Printer take into account the Opening of the Print Output?
I am new to the needs of designing for a 3D printer.
I have read 2 books (for beginners) and neither touched on this, and I have alsi watched countless RUclips videos as well, and again, No, Nothing about any printer taking these 2 things into consideration.
For my designs, I must know what the Abilities/Limits are for the material is as well as for the Printer.
I am going to start out with some easy projects, but I have big expectations for the tools that I use.
Im just in love with the deathclaw puppy!😂😂😍
Thanks for recommending Simplify3D to me in one of your Q&A sessions. It has been a GREAT INVESTMENT that has saved me a lot of frustration. Previewing Gcode and the ability to manually increase of degrease support materials is awesome in Simplify3D. One area that I could use some help in is the settings for the support material. Specifically finding that sweet spot where the support comes away more easily. I was jealous of how easy it was for you to remove the support in this video. I have reduced the Upper and Lower Vertical Separation Layers to 1, to help support curved surfaces better, but now find that the support is MUCH more difficult to remove. Perhaps the temp is too high? If you could do a video about tweaking the support settings, that would be great! Thanks! Never Let The Machines Win
helped me in a unrelated topic. i have been trying to print a few thin models like coins and they would always have holes regardless of how many top layers i use.
WOW! Great! I learned something new. Yea I just previewed but never went through it with a fine-tooth-comb. Yea I use S3D too. You got some great tutorials. thanks
Love this type of video, I will definitely budget in the cost for Simplify3D while saving for my first 3D printer. This video sold me on this software for sure, thank you for the in depth explanation.
Have you ever tried out any other slicer?
There are some really good and free alternatives out there, one of them being Slic3r
And today basically every single one of them has G-Code preview.
Not to mention lots of other features that do allow for almost as much flexibility as with S3D. For free.
thank you, I will look into the other free options :)
No Problem!
Slic3r is a good start, and the new Cura is definitely worth a look too!
Will do thanks
That was awesome Angus, thanks for sharing, this will definitely save me some grief when I get started
would love to see an in depth view on support material. For all the settings, for how far away from print and others. I seem to keep getting a bad first layer off of the support. Thanks keep up the videos love em.
Great tips and advice as always Angus.
Thank you.
Not a problem with the GCode, but had my printer tethered to my computer, and had my computer crash mid print. I had to home the Z axis, measured how high the print actually was, and edited the GCode to start back where it was.
Very Great Job Angus! Thank you!
Very interesting video, I loved the time lapse. I learnt to always keep an eye on the print after I left it for 6 hours and came back to the extruder completely covered in filament, like a massive block of it hardened on.
Do you have a video talking about how the travel speeds of moving parts effect print quality and functionality? I did a quick search on your channel and couldn't find anything.
Top notch Angus, thanks mate!
On the finished print you can see little blobs from where the layer changed. Those are visible on my models too (S3D places them randomly by default), any idea how to minize them or get rid of them?
What settings are you using for retraction and extra restart material with your Flexion extruder? Are you using any coasting?
quick questions, what do you do with the supports, rafts and failed models of 3D prints? Have you known anyone to recycle them into filaments for future uses? (of course under safe circumstances)
I was wondering bout ABS filament and the colours and how it affects
prints. I see a lot of ppl saying this colour is better than that
colour and this one prints at a higher temp because of the pigment. As I
paint most of my prints I was wondering if a neutral colour or
transparent is the way to go because of the lack of pigment.
Can you make a video to talk about how to improve poor surface finishing above support structures? I am facing this problem and couldn't find a way to solve it.
Thanks for the great vids! It would be great to see something on getting as accurate as possible prints. When print calibration cubes or other dimensional parts, I get slightly different scaling in the X, Y and Z directions. The difference between X & Y was surprising. I use the scale function in openSCAD to deal with this, but are there ways to adjust the process settings in Simplify3D so that they can be specific to materials?
Cura 2.3 beta right now, its free, no complains, you should do an updated review, since your "best slicer video" Cura has a new interface, a lot more settings, and faster at rendering layers and slicing
I was just about to say they don't have linux support, but they actually seem to be bringing out 2.1.3 for it, too :D
And it is definitely looking really nice.
Not a fan of these borderline ads for S3D, gcode preview is a feature of most slicers (slic3r, cura etc have it) implying it's somehow exclusive to S3D is disingenuous.
and, i think slic3r even does a better job showing you the output gcode, and i think it is really awful to use any other slicer, bacause it is just the program i always used at home
Agreeing with you here.
The focus solely on S3D and basically leaving out any other free alternative is something rather upsetting in my regard.
Especially since Slic3r has many of the tools necessary for normal use.
I mean, it even has Modifier Parts to change settings locally, which is very similar to the S3D Tasks.
There's a reason why most youtubers use S3D, it simply works best. Not software-wise, but end results gives a better print quality.
Also these tutorials can be easily translated to other programs if they have similar features. Hard to teach a general tutorial for 12 different programs; the teacher will use his favored tool as it is the easiest to teach with as they're most comfortable with using said program.
No they use it because they got it for free, and he claimed these are S3D specific features other slicers don't have.
Nicanor Santillan
Well, that may be true, but since the goal of a tutorial is to teach people something, it would only make sense to do this in a software that almost everyone has available to them - Not something that only some people want to buy.
Besides, did you ever see a test of the quality of parts compared between different slicers?
Sure S3D can handle some situations better, but this does not mean that its general print quality is better enough to justify 150€ extra.
Great video! By the way, what material are you using to cover the printing table of the craftbot plus?
My dual extrusion models where I merge two models together (1 for each extruder) always get confused after the first layer. It is a single nozzle to heat with 2 extruders which Cura doesn't seem to understand. I set them both to 195 degrees but after the first layer, for some reason the temp goes to 180 while it pauses, then it heats back up, then homes itself, pauses, and then continues with the print.
what type of printer do you use and have you done any upgrades to it? it is a very good video It showed me a lot.
@Maker'sMuse Is there a way to set different high quality whrere the resolution is not enought? I mean, with Simplify 3d. Without print everithing in 0,1 mm resolution? Thanks
Since you push S3D so hard it would be nice if you could get a discount code from them. Im sure a lot of your viewers, myself included, would buy the software at a discount. $150 is a bunch of money. Yes I know its good, but its still $150 in a market of free slicers.
Hey! Great video, but what about CURA? how can I set supports manually like this? Thank you!!!
Great Job...
I'm a fan but was disappointed when I was expecting to see the actual code...
Is there a way to see the line codes for repair if you want to tweak a command or find out if there is some error or you just want to change jog speeds etc. ?
I like your videos especially your explanations. Keep up the good work. I have a question: Is Simplify3D worth the cost? $149.00 on internet.
Hi, I need a printer that works out of the box for Prototypes and Ive been thinking about the Ultimaker 2+ or 2+ Extended what do you think?
Is meshmixer's support material any good?
Whats with you people claiming hes trying to sell you something? He uses Simpify3D, not because it was free or because he gets paid to push it, but because its the best. He clearly says in the description that he will show you how to do it in Simplify!? If he wanted to do a tutorial on how to use G code in another program he would have labeled it as such. You also had the knowledge that it was done in Simplify and could have chose to simply not watch it if you've got a problem with that software. He does videos on UP printers, I generally don't watch them because I will never own an UP! How did he imply it was exclusive to Simplify? Hes done several videos about other slicers, one even comparing them and the prints they produce. Its $150?!, not like you're buying Solidworks or something, drama queens.
thanks for the video
im leaning how to create models first and then buy a printer
Nice! You'll get a lot more out of your investment that way :)
I get this EVERY time "g code printer print setup disabled" with EVERY STL file I convert to stl ...
Hey Angus, how do you like the Craftbot Plus now that you have used it for quite some time? Happy with the print quality? I asked this (recently) also under your review video of the machine, but you didn't answer.
If you could cover Thin wall printing. Having a hard time sometimes with radio control model airplanes from this website.. 3D Print Lab
New to 3d printing, have a geeetech prusa i3 pro w, the printing program that comes with it is no good for me to tweak, any suggestions for an easy slicer/printing program?? For slicers, prusa slicer works great for me
I wish there was a free trail of simplify 3D
You can buy it and test it for 30 days. They offer a refund if you're not satisfied.
Before I brought S3D I asked the same question to their support team because I was concerned that it would not live up to all the hype etc. But I needn't have worried, it really is as good as Angus and others say it is ... and then some.
On top of the software being the best there is, IMO, the support guys are fantastic.
I've contacted them on several occasions, not because of software issues, but for guidance, and the responses have been fast and concise.
I'm very glad I took the plunge and I'm sure you would be too.
As Julien Dodokal said, they will give you a refund within 30 days if you don't like it.
I know, putting down $150 just to test it, no thanks. I'll stick with Craftware
There's actually "another way" of testing it. I did it and while S3D is pretty good I'm sticking to Cura because last Cura 2.3beta is very similar and I prefer using free softwares.
Is there a Cura 2.3beta?! Hmm... I'm on 2.1.3 and quite happy with it. Yeah, manual supports are lacking but other than that I don't see the point to go with S3D.
I know this is might sound stupid, but how can I enter the preview mode
Ateo Just watching the video, you see it, at 4:12 in, he clicks on «Prepare to print» in the bottom left corner.
Have you tried Cura 2.1?
Can you do that on cura?
Hi there! First off all, thank you for your awesome videos! I don't have a 3d printer yet, but after some more research I will buy one. Do you have some recommendations for buying your first 3d printer? I dont know if you are familiar with the flux printer (flux3dp.com/), do you think this is a good one for starters? :)
Second question: I really liked the print you made, but the surface of the print was not smooth. Is there a way to configure your 3d printer to make is more smooth?
Greetings! (from Belgium)
You can make it smooth in the post process after it has been printed. Some printers with higher resolutions make it smoother, but you will always see lines from the layers of the print
Another Simplify3D video.....
Because S3D has a customizable supports feature. O.0
Simplify3D also has a "Cost $150" feature...
Привет у вас отличный канал и видео я подписался , буду рад если тоже подпишитесь на мой канал ,предлагаю дружбу каналами , просмотры кометы и лайки
Hi!
I always like your videos, however I am slowly beginning to be mildly annoyed with the amount of attention that Simplify3D gets.
I do acknowledge that it is a powerful tool, and is well suited for its job, however ... 150€ for a slicer?
It is not a price that me, and probably many others, would ever want to pay.
/Especially/ with very well and good running open-source free alternatives, like Slic3r.
It too can handle different settings in different parts of the 3D print (similar to the different "Tasks" in Simplify3D), and ALSO has a G-Code layer preview.
I find it deeply upsetting that you are not giving this reliable and crafty, /free/ tool a look too, and instead focus on a slicer alternative that many might not want to get due to its price.
Y'see, I would agree. Except S3D is worth the 150 and then another 50 if you ask me.
Yeah, but I personally am not one to spend that much money.
I am a DIY guy, I've assembled my printer myself out of a kit from E-Bay for 270€
That basically makes S3D 50% the price of my machine.
Besides, I have never ever had a problem with Slic3r when it comes to customisability, speed and reliability.
/BESIDES/, is there really a reason for the software to be THAT expensive, if the community manages just fine to create a well working system for free?
And compared to other things, like, oh I don't know, games or Windows itself, that take lots of work to get going, although I've never seen them pricing that high?
It may be that S3D is a good tool for /industry/.
But for me personally, it is overpriced, and not worth it.
From a gamer's perspective, it is overpriced. When you realize how much work goes into it, and that they have one price for commercial and consumers alike (think engineers who need high quality prototype with extreme customizability), it really isn't that high a price. Look at music production software. Look at Adobe. Look at Cinema4D. Look at Autodesk. This is their pricing equivalents, not video games, my friend.
Alright ...
True, for industrial use this software most certainly is better suited than any freeware like Slic3r or Cura, and definitely implements better options.
But at least I personally am not industry.
I don't need those extra features that allow industrial use to just be a tiny bit quicker or better, I just want something that works well, without having to spend half the price of my printer for it.
