Xyzware doesn't try to slice the file as it's already sliced of course, as with any gcode file you load into it.
Again, not sure if this will work with the junior ??

One question how do people use other slicing software and then run the file through XYZ software for printing? Wouldn't the XYZ software try to reslice the object and screw it up?

I was afraid you might say that. I did contact them almost two weeks ago but never received a reply.

Your best bet for an answer would be to go to their forum and post the question.

You would have to contact the S3D devs and ask them. Probably just needs an update depending on how bad XYZ locked the junior down. It just too new for any of us to say right now.

Sure wish they had a demo...

It is a pain to have to use slic3r + xyzwaremod, but it is definitely cheaper.  Just not convinced it makes $150 of difference..?

I  thought the same thing till I got it and started to use it.

I've been struggling with that for a while too.
But I think when you consider the faster slicing, direct control of the printer, ability to send gcode straight to the printer, better print quality plus the extra features such as manual support editing and individual layer settings, all in one program, it just about justifies the cost.
I should state that I don't work for Simplify3d and have no affiliation with the company, in light of the glittering review I just gave them. big_smile

S3D looks like a good all-in-one solution with a few more handy features and from what I hear, gives better quality prints too.

I can see that feature coming in very useful !

It's my understanding that it's possible to change print settings for each layer.
Can someone confirm this and in particular, if it's possible to change the amount of infill at various stages of the print.
