Craftware pro New user
Quote from eric williamson on 2022-11-21, 22:05I'm trying to give craftware pro a chance for my new Flow idex xl but I'm having a few issues.
1. How do you set your first layer speed? I've tried adding a first layer override to my filament and to the default profile but it still prints at 60mm sec.
2. Is there a setting to compensate for material shrinkage or do I have to scale each model depending on the fillament?
3. Is there a setting to compensate for holes printing to small? In cura this would be hole horizontal expansion.
4. Is their a way to tune pressure advance or linear advance so square corners are not rounded and seams do not show as bad?
5. is their a manual either online or pdf? With other slicers ther is documentation so when you have an issue you can look it up instead having to asking a question on a forum.
Thanks for any help

- The First Layer Speed is set by the filament. Sadly you found a bug there. We will fix it, but until that I can only recommend you a workaround.
- Remove the First Layer Override entirely via the "Override Manager"
- Recreate it with 0-0 Layer Range
- Add the segment speed property to it
You can also create it for the strategy, and slow down the first layer for any filament you use
- The Perimeter offset is there for compensating it.
If we talk about a sintering/postprocessing shrinkage (>1%), then you should scale the model according to it before hitting the slice. You can have an anisotropic scale too- Yes, the perimeter offset will solve this problem too.
- Sadly there are only a few things that you can do about it from the slicer. The mentioned features have to be implemented from the Firmware. Always make sure that your nozzle is clear and that there is no blocking or partial clog.
- With lower perimeter extrusion width, the details will be finer, and not that rounded. You can go down to 0.32 mm, but the overhang quality will decrease.
- Lower Perimeter speeds help for keeping the filament flow and the motion synchronized.
- Higher Temperature means lower viscosity and lower pressure needed for the same extrusion rate.

It is far from giving you full coverage, but a good start 🙂Best regards,
