Slicer speed: S3d is faster then ideaMaker?

iM seems more like .07mm+
need to calibrate flow rate for the IM, you cannot use the same value as with S3D as I think they do the calculation differently

@arhi
I think I read some you or someone else already mentioning that???? I was printing 2 wall calibration cubes and found after a small change to the extrusion multiplier, I had 3 walls at .95 (should be .96) but the 4th wall was 1.00 and I didn't want to adjust it further until I fixed that. At the same time, I noticed the cubes Y was over 20mm and X was below 20mm, and asked for where settings were to fix that.... I really like the fact that iM will allow me to adjust both X and Y separately, as S3d only allows you to change Y if needed.
After I was able to get the cube to be perfect 20x20 mm, I noticed that a single corner was bulging out and obviously effected my measurements. I have to do this again, but as it was late I just printed a Mini to see how well it came out. This morning I found it was super stringy, and now want to run a temp tower in iM as the retractions I am using is way too high and putting holes in the print... Has to be a temp thing... Hopefully by the end of the day I will have enough prints done to get this situated. Just have to figure out how to make the proper temp tower/temp changes by layers in iM. I think I know where the setting are, just haven't try to mess with it yet. -
@Kolbi
Thank you! -
Is there a way to see the temp changes per layer like I can with speed, when looking at the preview? In S3d, I could do this by just setting it to color code each process, and temp change was per process... I don't see an option like that in iM and hoping I just don't know where it is.

@Blue, not that I know of.

I tried ideamaker but i could not find a way to connect it to duet, the doc's show a wlan setup but i could not find it, looked at all the settings it did not show a custom printer and if i was to enter a IP address it was also looking for a serial number, or wouldn't work.
Is there a way to connect to a custom printer?.Thanks

there is no way, you "show file in folder" after you export g-code and then manually upload to duet. all the network stuff in IM is for their own reise3d printers that use some special protocol themselves
-
I thought so but i was reading a doc file it showed a custom printer option and a wlan but it may have been an old version and haven't updated the doc..

I didn't even find a way to call external script to upload file like I'm doing with s3d. If you figure out how, please share
-
You could figure out a way to make the external script monitor a specific folder that, as soon as you save a gcode file to, it will upload to the duet/whatever.

yes but that's not something I want to do. not on Linux/OSX and especially not on Windows

@arhi
You could create a scheduled task to run every 60 seconds (windows or Linux) to start a script that checks for a file in a folder. Once a file is there, ftp file and delete original.
You could also create a script that start when PC powers on and just constantly checks same folder. -
@BlueDust yes but NO
