That would help me understand when to speed up and when to slow down.

    So for me, this is looking positive, but the jury is out!

    Click "Live Preview Tracking" in the Preview Mode screen. It's right above the "Begin printing over USB" button.

    Thank you!

    I tried printing this with Slic£r... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:925556

    It failed very badly. Just a brick!

    With S3D it was perfect and worked immediately. No trying to break the joints etc. All I did was increase the extrusion to '1' in settings and a couple of skirts.

    This was probably the most challenging thing I would ever ask my printer to do as tolerances so tight, IMG_4674.jpg

    So very pleased - utter perfection.

    I am still looking at it thinking "WOW - How did that work?"

    Picture attached though for some reason not right orientation.

    Glad to hear that S3D is working for you - it has truly changed my entire 3D printing experience.
