    Here's a job for you. See if you can slice this with simplify3d.
    Just crashes on me everytime.

    It's the ideal model for the delta.
    Reckon I could knock one out in about 8 hours.
    Plus i have lots of the right sized ball bearings :-)
    Only thing I've ever come across that crashes s3d though.

    what layer height did you slice it at ?
    Interchangeable nozles work great :-)

    Used an 8mm to print a 12mm, using the 12mm to print a 16mm lol

    Prints for these small parts are as good as I'd get from the flashforge. Might not be a hurricane - but it's definitely doing the job !
    And I love the way i can turn it on and off and adjust power. Just got manual switches on the rep clones.

    Added gcode to endscript to switch fan off when print finished. Weirdly s3d lets you control fan for individual layers from the cooling tab. But leaves the fan on once print is finished.

    Loaded & sliced no problems. Maybe you've got some bad memory or a broken copy of S3D?

    lol I have an actual official version of s3d. Reinstalled fairly recently
    This is the only model that's crashed, also the most complex I've ever tried to slice, thinking maybe I need more memory in the computer.
    Should be some on the shelf.

    Yeah spends a long time 'initializing preview data' and then drops out. So probably memory related. I'll drop some more in and see if that makes a difference.
    The fact that 'initialising' is incorrectly spelt with a 'z' could also be the problem ;-)

    Doubled ram to 4gb - doesn't make any difference.

    I will try and slice it with cura.

    That works, must be my s3d install.

    Final fan duct setup:


    Duct without nozzle:


    Top down view of carriage and duct.


    16x9x10 nozzle.


    As long as you use a 10mm or less height and length, the nozzle stays clear of the printbed.
    You could have more height and less length. But 10x10 is pretty optimal.


    I'll upload files to thingiverse after lunch.
    Including just the clip so people can add their own nozzles.
    Might seperate the nozzle modules and see if I can make it a thingiverse parametric script.

    This duct is designed to fit number40's larger carriage. Not going to post the file for the smaller carriage - as people should be using the larger one anyway :-)

    No extra screws, bolts needed. Fan push fits and is a good tight fit. Mounts using existing carriage bolts and nozzles just clip in and out, again a good tight fit, but easy to change.
    I added a wire extension, wrapped round the main cable conduit and plugged into the fan socket on the motherboard.
    So I've got complete control of the fan - which is pretty neat :-)

    All in all, pretty please with it.

    Without the fan overall weight is about 7gms. It's all 1mm walls except the bolt plat which is 2mm for better strength and a really solid fit.

    yeah, cura says 10 - I reckon if it would slice it, I could fettle s3d to get it down to about 8.

    Just a bunch of stuff cura won't do or I just can't find.
    I remember it being a lot more user friendly a couple of years ago.

    I can probably print at 150mm/s on a 0.2mm layer height.

    0.2mm and 150mms :-)
    Definitely not switching off retraction.
    moot point - for some reason it won't slice on this machine.
    I'll wait for the next s3d update and see if that fixes it.
    No big deal :-)

    What autocorrect spelling ?
    The red underlines ?
    As many american words are incorrectly spelt anyway - I tend to ignore them :-)
