7.4.3 When New Profiles are Published
1. Periodically, we will publish sets of updated and new profiles for you to use.
2. Before importing these into Simplify, we recommend you first remove all of the old profiles you
have, to avoid confusion.
3. To do this, following the instructions in the “Deleting Profiles” section, then follow the
instructions in the “Importing Profiles” section.
4. Of course, if you have custom profiles you’ve made, you should keep those.
7.5 Simplify3D Build Estimates
When you slice your part, as part of the preview Simplify will give you an estimate of print time, material
length consumed, and material weight consumed.
(This is the screen you will see after clicking “Prepare to Print”)
The material length and weight are fairly accurate, but the time estimates are low by about 40%. To get
a more accurate time estimate, multiply Simplify’s estimate by 1.4.
