Just use that one and enter the dimensions of the bed there. You will have to play with the numbers to get it centered as S3D includes the dump area in the dimensions.

Are you guys using Simplify3D with repetier flashed printers or stock XYZ firmware? I bit the bullet and paid for a license, but I can't connect my flashed 1.0A (Yes, I checked the port and baud). When I configured it when installing I chose the davinci 1.0 from the list, but realized I probably should have picked a repetier associated printer. Has anyone had a similar issue?


You need to change it to a Repetier based printer. Da Vinci in stock form uses a different comm protocol from what it does once you flash it.

Thanks for your reply! Is there a specific one that works best?

I gave S3D my $150 over a year ago and have not once regretted it.

I'll second Evans statement, lol
I'm only new to S3D and 3D printing, but I haven't regretted buying the software at all. The print quality and support structures are awesome and very easy to remove.

my tiny high detailed prints would not be able to pry that hard on without ruining the prints and still require tedious post clean up with several tools still. but a few other prints could use this feature. just have to tweak it to get desired results. same as printing movable parts in 1 print then cracking them loose to function needs lots of tweaking with each filament used fo close tolerances yet not permanently sticking together. these are issues powder type 3D printers eliminate but at a cost as well.

Is there any way of getting a smooth underside like this without shelling out the money for a simplify3d license? I would really like to be able to use this feature, but without some kind of trial I don't want to spend that kind of money.
