I’d recommend that you lodge it as an issue on the Luban GitHub page: https://github.com/Snapmaker/Luban
any update with your simplify3d profile?
user Brent has posted his simplify3d configurations on the forum, i dont know where they are located but search around. These are very optimized including profiles for different plastics.
I wish simplify3d would save flow rate and some other values based on material.
I wish it would also get some love, its getting to be a dinosaur and for what it costs it should be keeping with the times.
It is the best slicer ive used though.
I wanted to give it back, shortly after i bought it.
But the 14 day trial ist a lie and support ist dead. Looks like s3d ist abandoned.
Sadly, its an expensive waste of money.
i like it well enough personally, but it is a real shame about the lack of updates.
S3D isn’t dead, they have been working on version 5.0 which includes many, many many community requested updates and is more/less a complete rewrite of the software. If you’ve ever done such a thing (i have), it takes a LONG time (currently 3 years into one…). If you look at their Blog, their last post was about that very thing, posted in August, 2020. their 4.1 software works perfectly well for “normal” printing and while yes it could certainly use updates for some things, i’ve been using it for years and i like it way better than any other slicer out there.
Here is the link to Brent’s awesome post about everything SM2, including his attached profile which is what i’m using with some modifications to the scripts (see below). Snapmaker 2.0 Initial Calibration Settings / Experiences
I regularly change things like the number of outlines, the infill, the layer, etc. depending on what exactly i’m printing, as those things highly, HIGHLY depend on what you are printing, but Brent’s was a great template to start from.
The scripts I use are:
Starting Script
M425 X0.035 Y0.035 Z0.035 F1 S0
;Start GCode begin
G28
G90
G1 X-10 Y170 Z10 F3000
G1 X25 F3000
G92 E0
M117 Purging extruder…
G1 X120 Y20 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; move to start-line position
G1 X200 Y20 Z0.3 F500.0 E15 ; draw 1st line
G1 X200 Y20.3 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; move to side a little
G1 X120 Y20.3 Z0.3 F500.0 E30 ; draw 2nd line
G92 E0 ; reset extruder
G1 Z1.0 F3000 ; move z up little to prevent scratching of surface
Ending Script (which I think I did not change from Brent’s)
G92 E1 ; Extra retract
G1 E0 F200
G91
G1 Z5 F3000
G90
G1 Y340 F3000
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
M84 ; disable motors
G28 X
To clarify the starting script: the reason I have the movement as it is it because I am printing on the glass bed, and I designed some overhanging corners to “clamp” them down. Since these went over the top of the glass, I wanted the nozzle to definitely not hit them while coming down. The “prime and wipe” is lifted (essentially) from TH3D’s setup. I use their stuff for my CR-10 and they are awesome. In fact my nozzle is their “hardened” nozzle and that has been working great. https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ezflow-nozzles-copper-nozzles-with-tough-plating/ (the MK8 type obviously)
I have been working on a new setup (new base frame, be Y rail system so those rocking rails could be used with more bed stability, all kinds of other mod connections, etc.), but currently my machine is down because one of my controller ports is dead. Sent support a message yesterday about it and while I wait for their response, I will likely be reviving my CR-10, which has had a ton of mods and upgrades waiting to be done to it, but i haven’t needed it since I received the SM2. I may also need to dust off the SM1 temporarily to print some parts for that, but we’ll see.

I do not believe this. I wanted a refund after 2 days of testing and they ignored my emails.
Maybe this slicer question is a kind of religion and belive - but ignoring customer emails, and not granting a refund as promised is scam.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I’ve had good experiences. I do not agree it’s a scam.
Should be well within the credit card chargeback window, so I wouldn’t be worried about getting your money back.
I hope your right - but such a non-transparent company loses trust. And has not deserved any 
We’ll talk again when you wrote a test article about the features of the new version.
@Slynold, rather than express your displeasure here, perhaps you should post your opinions in the S3D forum here: https://forum.simplify3d.com/ where there is a chance that someone who has the ability can actually do something about it.

Sorry, you are right. Just wanted to warn new users.
You had S3D for 2 days, clearly insufficient time to fully get to grips with what is has to offer thus making you extremely underqualified to ‘warn’ others off.
I’ve used S3D with no issue for a while now, on various different printers and It is defo worth it IMO.
I never said it’s a bad software.
I made tests, and the results and the features were impressive.
Still, I chose Cura because it is much better maintained and regularly updated.
Since the S3D support team doesn’t answer me and doesn’t give me the promised repayment, I have a very bad oppinion of the company. S3D is expensive, and the money back guarantee not valid. So I think it’s justified to point this out to the Snapmaker community.
