This debate has gotten a little heated. Please keep it constructive and respect other opinion.
@Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make I see. Aside from enabling G29 consistently (it’s either in the gcode or it’s not), those are all true conditions about MatterControl - as a printer control software. The Terminal does require 3 clicks to get to. There is currently no temperature graph, and there is only limited customization of the UI.
If there is a bug that causes a G29 to not be inserted into the gcode, we would love for that information to be posted on Git - along with any other bugs or feedback.
However, none of those have anything to do with the slicing engine - which is what you said was limited.
I understand everyone has their preferences for software and a way of doing things. Let’s try to keep the negative comments that are either unclear, untrue, or not constructive, to a minimum.
Slicer vs Slicing and Control software is pedantic. I’m referring to the software, now whether that constitutes a slicer or not is irrelevant to my complaints. Most people don’t even use MatterSlice in MC
The G29 bug is not something i care to pursue but was reason enough for me to drive away. It’s in the startup G-code but for some reason your software refused to run it every time. Feel free to do your own troubleshooting for the software you’re getting paid to produce for companies.
I’m tired of helping people with buggy software and would greatly prefer you actually fix your software instead of wasting time printing boxing gloves and gloating about all the other printers you’re using, besides the ones you should be actively supporting.
@Step_Cia I agree. Though that may not be possible for others.
@Matteo_Pascolini It can be a bit confusing depending on how you’re thinking about it.
In support material, if you select “Minimum”, that will generate the minimum amount of support material. In other words, the easiest to remove, but it may not fully support the part.
If you select the maximum, it will fully support all the overhangs - or print the maximum amount of support material.
Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
the way i was thinking was that the # was in reference to the degrees not the inverse of them, the minimum being that it wouldnt pack it on (make it tight to eachother)…
@Matteo_Pascolini The pattern spacing setting is what allows you to “pack it on”. A smaller spacing (say 1mm), will give you dense support material.
@Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make I really have no idea what you’re talking about, but clearly you’ve had a poor experience with us. For whatever that may have been, I apologize.
I also have no idea what issues we’re skirting or having someone else do, but please let me know.
