CraftWare a new slicing program

[bvandiepenbos]

New slicing program to check out...
www.craftunique.com/craftware

looks interesting
supposedly has "interactive" support generation?
I am going to dl and try it out.


edit:
wow, they sell a nice looking ALL METAL printer for $800.00
Design like a Ultimaker, which I think is probably the best design for a Cartesian machine.
I read through the user manual and it looks like a well thought out polished package.
I like it.

Very nice looking software

[bvandiepenbos]

Wow, nice software. You guys gotta check this out.
has some great features.
click on the expert slice mode and prepare to smile!
Interactive supports are dead simple to.
One thing I have not seen in any other slicer is you can define the seam position by "compass" heading... that will be great for printing statues and busts.
I have not printed with it yet, but if it's tool-paths are as good as the interface it will be sweeeeet.!

Getting used to their version of pan, tilt, and look around is going to be interesting.   It is a really interesting piece of software though!

so far the only thing I do not like is it only works on win7 and above

[ZionPhil]

Step into the light Brian. Windows XP is dead .

Wait, your concerned about uploading your files to Microsoft to use NetFab, but you have a OneDrive?

Has anyone tried it yet on their printer?

[navkram]

Do you build your own hot end?
If the Resistors are not tight against the Aluminum body, they cannot dissipate the heat fast enough causing the Resistor to burn out. SeeMe started making the resistor hole bigger so a heater cartridge can be used. This I think allows too much space between the resistor and the body.

Nope so far I have got pre built ones from seeme.
