    FWIW, Here is the start gcode I use. (under starting scripts in the advanced menu scripts tab)

    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 15mm

    M104 S150; Set extruder and do not wait - preheat

    M190 S[bed0_temperature] ; Set bed temp and wait to be reached

    G28 ; home all axes

    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm

    M565 Z-.9 ; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism

    G29 ; run auto-level

    M109 S[extruder0_temperature] ; Set extruder temp and wait to be reached

    The idea is that it starts the probing routine with the bed hot and the nozzle heating up, but not hot enough to drool. I find that this gives a more reliable level.

    You also need to make sure that 'wait for temperature controller to stabilize before beginning build' is UNCHECKED for the extruder otherwise all of the temperature commands are pointless.

    Thanks for the heads up man. I will not be able to get it until fall, So I will have to use matter control until then. And when I get it I am buying it from Printed Solid.

    HELP->Configuration Assistant-> then choose Robo R1

    Also, use the tutorials on their website.

    This is what I have in mine BUT I have a Beta.

    IF YOU HAVE AN R1 you need to select R1 WITH AUTOLEVELING (otherwise Simplify will not know about the autoleveling)

    If you are having difficulty open a support ticket with Simplify3D.
    I was able to go to the screen I pointed out to you and select any of the listed printers.

    You GET support with the purchase... they are the ones to best help you.

    :)

    thanks, the thing is that a friend bough that license and i cant choose R1, I have to manually config the printer. Isn't a way to config the autoleveling in start or end GCODE?

    Dont know if this thing i am doing its OK
    I go to EDIT PROCESS FFF and in starting GCODE i put:

    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
    G28 ; home all axes
    M565 Z-0.8; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism
    G29 ; run auto-level
    M300 S440 P200 ;A4: 440
    G0 Z5


    I put "M565 Z-0.8;" because in matter control i manually adjust the z offset to 0.8. its ok?
    That should fix the auto level stuff

    That is the manual way I think. There is a way in Simplify configuration to simply tell it the Z offset and you don't have to manually enter it.
    Sorry, I don't remember where that is. Machine Configuration I think, but someone with an Autoleveling machine can speak up. (Or open a support request with them.)

    (I am converting mine to auto-leveling, but have not gotten it done yet).

    On the topic of infill patterns, does S3D allow you to define a solid layer every x layers? I heard someone mention doing that during one of my late night browsing sessions and can't remember where I read it. It sounds like if it was possible that it would give some better strength for larger objects to have a 2 layer or so solid plate every 10mm or so. Maybe I dreamt the whole thing.

    It does have that feature. You can also tell it to just print thicker infill layers. For example, if you're using .1mm resolution, you can use .3mm thick infill and just print it every 3 layers. This saves a lot of time.

    Holy crap. Is there anything S3D can't do? (Besides autocombine dual extrusion prints)

    I might have to spend my enclosure cash on PrintedSolid for this software instead. It's like a swiss army knife. I did view all of their tutorial videos and it looks to have addressed some limits I found already with Cura. And the supports video was WAY cool. Hopefully I'll need less supports once I get my dual fan setup complete, but to modify how multiple parts are printed on a single plate layout is also very cool.

    adjust extrusion width and print sparse infill every X layers.

    I am trying to compare differences in configurations between S3D and Slic3r, can someone who uses S3D and prints in ABS upload their FFF file. I am very curious how S3D implements their xml files, what is in a process vs. printer configuration etc.

    I didn't like the default setting in S3D for the end of prints - so I modified it to present the print like in MatterControl, but I also retracted the filament a little and lifted the nozzle up 10 mm. If anyone is interested, here it is:

    G91 ; set relative positioning
    G1 E-1 F300 ; retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle
    G1 Z10 F5000 ; lifts the nozzle off of the print
    M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
    M140 S0 ; turn off bed
    M106 S0 ; turns the fan off
    G90 ; set absolute positioning
    G1 X10 Y210 ; present the print
    M84 ; disable motors

    You can add this modification in S3D in FFF settings in the "Scripts" section under "Ending Script" tab

    (update: I sped up the lifting of nozzle and movement of x,y)
