I do not agree with your last point. When you’re saving a model in Cura it will be saved as a STL file when you put .stl at the end. If you don’t add .stl it will be saved as an AMF file.

Now you can delete the last point from your “Annoy List” :slight_smile:

Thx that’s true I should have try that but wrongly assumed the proprietary extension was associated with a propriatory encoding. But why not offering the options in the user interface instead of hiding it for the end user to find it by chance or by try and error.

I should also says that Slic3r do have this functionality as Export STL button on the GUI. Sorry if you felt offended but this is not an “Annoy list” The comment clearly stated few missing feature and not things that a re missing that I’m bothered by. :wink: Unfortunately comment are not editable otherwise I will have amended the list.

Cura3D can export gcode for use it in a SD card directly on the printer, I have not found this option in MatterControl?

I use Cura and Simplify3d but still can’t get used to Simplify3D. Cura is so much more intuitive.

When I print many small parts in one run I put on the fan for the first layer on my UM2. Otherwise the nozzle’s temperature is going up and down resulting in blurry melted pla or non-sticking pla to the glass.

What I love about Simplify3D is the fact that you can set up different settings for different parts in the same run.

I tought it only happened to me but Cura indeed has it’s weird moments. It is rare but still, when you’re in the middle of a print and suddenly you hear the z-motors accelerating to full speed. The extruder goes up and then it goes down and plunges into the print to go up again and ruin the print. It angers me enough to return to Slic3r a couple of weeks until I have forgotten about the incident. But overall it does happen only rarely and Cura does it job very well.
