Additionnal Features

Postby barth » Thu Dec 15, 2016 1:04 pm

Hi guys,
I would like to know if you have any road map for the features you will add on Contour?

I'm also interested to have the possibility to cancel a print and restart it directly. Sometime i forgot to remove the UV filter, so i cancelled restart directly... :oops:

Hi,

We have a mile-long list of features we want to add on to Contour, just a matter of prioritizing what we feel will help the greatest number of customers the most.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your request. You hope to cancel the print and then print again from the start without having to slice it?

Exactly! I know the slicing is quite fast on Contour but something it could take several minutes.
And at the same time it could be useful to have estimate print time before start them :)

How big are your stls? What level of anti-aliasing are you using?

The print time estimate is now shown on the 3d view screen.

You could also start the print wizard first and then install/remove the filter while it's slicing (it starts slicing in the background while you're going through the wizard).

The estimate printing time is shown in the lower right corner box in SC 1.3.6. I think in order to get 1.3.6, you have to enable beta update by going to Edit - Preference and check the box "Update to Beta Versions".

As Sam mentioned, the print time estimate is now located in the lower right profile window:
