This is a great tutorial and I managed to work it out for the 5.1.0 version of S3D. Under the advanced tab it is slightly different to the version you were working with 6 years ago. Under advanced, there is a button down the bottom called Custom Zones and that's where the print heights are. Thank for you great videos.
Four years later and this video is still useful. So glad I stumbled across this. Thank you for taking your time to make this 101 video.
This is one of my favorite tricks, hands down. It was one of the reasons I got Simplify 3D in the first place. :D I really hope that in the near future we get the ability to use intersecting geometry to specify volumetric regions for processes, not just having them be on a layer by layer or individual part basis... Meaning we can do stuff like add very selective reinforcement around screw holes and other structural bits in mechanical parts...
Thanks, am new to this stuff and now have the Prusa Original i3 Mk2. Quite the learning curve this 3D printing, but tons of fun. Your videos are totally educational, just what i needed. Can hardly wait to watch the rest and continue onward to the new. As for others in the community they are all wonderful, some i learn from more than others but again all contribute and am grateful how most if not all share the knowledge freely. Thanks again and peace to the world!
Great tutorial! So much in there...I feel like it will be a “gift that keeps on giving” as I go back and review it again and again over time.
this was extremely informative. I could have knocked so many hours off of my previous jobs if I'd known this. Thank you
I never knew about that group processing trick, awesome vidyo! :P
Didn't know about grouped processes, so thanks for that! They're just a patch, though, and the whole process system deserves an overhaul in my opinion.
*[1]* You can store a profile under a single name, but that profile must include concrete values for _all_ settings. A better solution would be to allow you to keep some of those settings unspecified, and then to combine multiple profiles. That way you can have a profile for your _printer_, a profile for your _extruder_, a profile for your _filament_, a profile for your _model_, and then mix-and-match as appropriate. (And yes, it's still possible for profiles to conflict on specific settings, but elegant interface-solutions exist to deal with that.)
*[2]* Some settings within a process (like temperature and cooling) have inherent ways to vary between layers, but for others you have to use multiple processes. If processes become more light-weight and easier to manipulate (possibly in-dialog), every setting could have a uniform method of varying between layers.
By far the best demonstration of using multiple processes. Thank you!
Wow, that's pretty cool. I've used Simplify3D since it was originally available, and had no idea that the Processes section could be used to control the process within a print. Thank you
Recently bought S3D so will be watching all your videos to maximize my use of this powerful software.
OMG!!! This will help me HUGE! I have an 8 part, 25 day 24/7 straight printing project I've been avoiding because of the time required and the amount of filament involved! Gonna go check this out right now! THANK YOU HUGELY!!!
Wow! What a time saver. Love the ability to change layer height to influence the detail for the section.
What a tool Simplify3d would be with a halfway decent manual. I have been digging through everything for some time but this had passed me by. Many thanks for this and your other incredibly useful stuff.
I can appreciate why my open source software has no manual, but S3D wants 150.00 and can't provide decent instruction on how to use it? Really?!
i just bought S3D for the support features. This looks awesome and can't wait to try it out. thanks for the vid
i just did a 13hs worth of pieces just because I didn't know this trick xD
Awesome video, thanks !
Hey Angus! For a couple of weeks I’ve been watching and learning from your videos because I am venturing into the (“dark side”)3D printing haha. I really appreciate what you do, more power and keep up the great work!
This is a HUGE help! Thank Sir... Best show on TH-cam right here! :-)
Great tip on the Process grouping. Thanks
Awsome, awsome, awesome! I had no idea S3D would do this. I've often thought how handy it would be if i could individually change settings for each area of a print in Cura but no joy.
Simplify3D says I just saved 19 hours of printing time by doing this. Thank you so much!
Just when I think I'm getting to know S3D, you show me more! Great stuff.
I had no clue that you could group processes. Been using multiple processes for quite a while but that group tip was worth the time watching the video. Thanks.
You do good videos. Many others simply can't grasp the art of conveying the message.
Solved one my big problem! Great Thanks!
Now i have to say... this is something i am going to start using a lot.... great video... great info... Thanks
Very nice, Easy to follow your tutorial. I have been fighting with Simplify3D and this helps.
Thank You
GREAT video. Learned a few great tricks. Keep it up.
Holy shit yes yes yes! With two different nozzle sizes, this can save me dozens of hours. Made my day
Thank you very much for this. Would you consider making a 3D Printing "Tips and Tricks", "Pitfalls to avoid", etc. playlist / series? You obviously know 3D Printing and you are a good teacher.
Really good video. I have known about this but never used it. Now i am going to try it. Thanks..
Nice clear explanation! Thanks. Subscribed.
Super helpful! Thank you for this idea!
This really helps me hit deadlines. Thanks mate!
Thank you - lots of great tips no matter which software used! Really makes the case for learning Simplify3D
Golden video , good stuff captain .
I just wanted to say thanks for being a great 3D printing youtuber and you and 3D printing nerd inspired me to make own videos
Great video - thanks. Very useful for a S3D newbie like myself.
very good and informative video mate. Thanks.
Awesome video. Loved to learn what can be done with the software.
This literally just blew my mind 😳
Congrats to this this video. Well explained and one of the most usefull stuff I have seen for a long time. Will save me days on printing.
Very good video! Very helpful man!
Man! This is awesome. Thanks! You gained a new subscriber
great tips. thanks. this is just what I needed for a few production pieces.
Excellent tip! I was wondering what those "processes" were anyway :)
Every process after the first needs (at least for me) to have the 'first layer thickness' set to 100% or I get a noticeable line. Great video, great software. thx
Thanks for the tip :)
I always figured it could do this but haven't dinked with it to try it out. Thanks for the info, great seeing it in action before I experiment :) .
another great video, thanks Angus.
Angus! You are a great help my friend!
Awesome Angus - Thank you
Watching again and will be using tonight.
Hot damn Angus! Being somewhat new to S3D but not to printing THAT was precisely the information I needed! And you shared this 6 years ago, but it's still VERY helpful. Massive kudos to you Sir! Like our good @Robakld below I had to look around my 5.1 version to find 'Custom Zones' but now I have some much more handier tools. ALSO, appreciate the added ability to change the layer height at specific points to increase the exterior details, but for only that specific section, thereby not slowing the printing process for the entire model just for that section/portion of the model...Thanks again pard'!
You've earned yourself a new sub today my friend.
Well done. Your video is very informative. Thank you.
Multiple processes for color changes on a single extruder are awesome! 🤘🤘
Group processes! Good tip. That'll be very handy. Ive been running my first process with a thick layer height because of my dyi pei bed level being completely inconsistent. Works great with reduced extrusion and a static speed for the first few layers. I like running the bottom layer with rectangle external fill for better adhesion then the last process with concentric pattern. Seems to make the top layer look better. Curious what's your thoughts on concentric patterns and quality of your prints?
wow this is great video!! thanks for the tip...I like your channel, you explain easy to comprehend and learn new things..cheers for that!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to start evaluating my prints more closely and start using this technique. Kinda wish I would have watched this video before I started my current print. lol
Great tips. Thanks!
Awesome, I will keep this in my history for a while. I'm still waiting to get my printer.
Thanks for these. :) It has helped me a lot.
One thing to note, is if you're printing in ABS and you have the top/bottom solid layers in between processes, I have seen that it can cause some layer separation at that point. In ABS I got better results with no top/bottom layers anywhere inside the model. But I also changed infill percentages more gradually.
25% to 15% for a few layers, 10% for a few layers, to 5% for a few layers. Then vise versa ramping to to areas that needed higher. It made for a lot of processes, but it worked really well.
Couldn't have done it without your tutorials. :)
Great points, ABS does behave funny when you mess with infill or layer height changes. I think it's because the infill is like bow strings, and if you vary the 'tension' it'll do funny things to the shrinkage. More gradual changes would help massively! Good tips :) Glad they helped, but so does your experiences! Thanks.
I believe ABS was specifically engineered to have shrinkage to pop out of molds. So it is interesting working with that quality.
drinking game. drink every time Angus says multiple processes.
do you want me to die. i do shots of everclear.
im dnurk
I'll be more wasted than the Americans tax payers money
Thank you for this.......really helpful. Cheers.
PRETTY USEFULLY VIDEO .... Awesome
Great video! Wish I'd seen it sooner! 👍🏻😎
Nice Angus -- and man! -- I really hope the FOSS slicers start catching up to the commercial stuff...
wow! that came at the right moment, thanx so much!
Nice one, thanks for that!
Just brought a printing time from 44h to 32h with this knowledge!
I cant believe i just subscribed , I have simplify 3d which is the best but knowledge like this make me glad I bought it
Great information, thanks.
Hi Angus, my favorite S3D feature is sparse infill. I bet you could get a similar time on the top part using 0.1 layer height and printing the infill every three layers.
That is extremely helpful, I already know where I can use that :D
That's very cool. I'm gonna try and use this technique to make a "Roly Poly" toy. I'll use a high infill % for the bottom half of the bottom sphere to keep it bottom-heavy.
Hey Angus, I really like your videos and this one was particularly very good!
Can you really do the print and show us the time lapse? I am super excited to see if the thing really works. I am also slightly skeptical on how the section with low density to high density infill works out (2:30)
This video just cut 7 hours off my print time. Thank you very much for the tips and tutorial.
Wow, this is great just what I need
Great video, I learned a lot, thank you...
Thank you. I have learned saving time :-)
Thank you very much , it was very helpful
awesome tip!
very informative thanks!
Awsome video. Thanks a zillion for that.
Screw the super bowl, this is much more worth my time
Mattsoup ive never even touched a 3d printer in my life and this is still more interesting
I have one. This is still interesting.
I have a super bowl full of ice with my feet in it. Did this at the same time while watching :P
Super Whatnow? ;)
I think he actually meant a huge bowl of cheese.
this saved my life!! Thanks dude. If ever in Texas hit me up.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the tip!
very helpful video, thanks :)
Thanks for the video. Do you have a video on how to setup the cooling fan?
Very good tutorial on this vids thanks
Wow this is great. I just started 3D printing and using cura. I will download this software instead since it seems more detailed.
Bro! you are awesome!!!
just what I needed
Well dang, that'll come in handy. Our Fablab has a printer with a 0.5 m^3 build area, so we do some bigass prints occasionally. My boss is going to love me.
Thank you for a great tip
Awesome!
Thank you - Good to know - Now I/We do! I need a checklist to hit all those settings (that is what rewind is for!) Thanks again!
Briliant!
Hi from Brazil. Thanks very much for this tutorial. It was exactly what I am looking for. You are the Master.
