Or you can use it standalone (some people like the layer-height change control that slic3r gives, allowing you to do different layer heights at different layers in the model.. so 0.3mm for the 'plynth' of something, then 0.1 for the actual detailed model, etc etc).

So go to 1.0.0RC3, 1.0.0 Stable, or 1.10Exp...

old software

New Software

same side on both.    new software has a HELL of a lot more material, kinda seems like a waste to me.   Is there an option to stop that effect or is that it?

I updated to the latest one about 6 weeks ago. Is there a newer one? I have support materials but not support pillars. Anyway the support stuff is in the Slic3r settings. Click on the 'Configure Slic3r' button in Repetier and it will load the Slic3r options. I'd walk you through it more but I'm not near my set up and I can't recall all of the details right now.

Slic3r doesn't talk to your printer... do you mean new vanilla repetier is not talking to your printer? I've had no trouble with repetier 0.95F talking to my SD3 (stock firmware, rev E SD printrboard) using these settings: http://wiki.solidoodle.com/repetier-hos … on-windows Baud rate = 250000 was important, and COM port needs to be the right number...

In any case, it should be possible to copy-paste any old slic3r directory into the repetier host program folder (removing/backing up the old one) and new slic3r will be good to go within whichever repetier works for you.

+1 and also check "reset on connect" is (disabled I think it says)

Another thing you can do it slice your model 2 different times with different settings.  For example, one hollowed out and one with infill and then cut and combine the 2 appropriate sections of the gcode into a third program and run that one......


still a newb .....   you went so far over my head on that one ... lol

Like Photog says try the newest slicer... you may like it, otherwise it is best just to model in a pillar or two if that's all you need.
