  I run MC on a stand alone Win 7 laptop with 4GB ram,, when i start MC it runs smooth but when a print completes the memory is ramped up and stays that way, MC is very slow to respond and most times I am required to end the program through Task Manager. Some example pictures, I ran a print overnight and returned to see the screen like this: The Task manager shows this: Closing Task Manager shows this: Restarting MC: (note memory usage at startup). I am not the first experiencing this, it's been mention constantly on this forum, the program continues to consume memory until it maxes out and does not relinquish it even when prints are done.

  I will try setting the extrusion multiplier down -15% In MatterControl: Slice Settings > Filament > Advanced > Extrusion Multiplier -15%.

  @cope413 What are the multiplier settings? In MatterControl: Slice Settings > Filament > Advanced > Extrusion Multiplier ratio or %. If this does not fix the problem, it could also be a retraction issue. I use 8mm of retraction.

  Click on the three dots in the upper right corner next to the temperature reading and select "Show Printer" > "General" and look for "Serial Port". Unplug the printer, check if any COMs disappear, and plug the printer back in to see if any COMs show up. If your printer does show appear, select it, and click connect in the upper left corner.

  There is not currently a way to do this but if it is significantly valuable in general printing we would be happy to add it as a feature.

  If you have an object with that texture on it, you could make a very thin slice of it, line it up on your part, and either do a combine or subtract on it to add the texture where you want it.

  @larsbrubaker If you can make multiple layers on the skirt as well, then you can make a wall up around the outside of the part. Other slicers also do this. This makes a higher heated air barrier around the outside of the part and also keeps parts from air drafts and warping.

  @joea If you are going to use Linux to run MatterControl, use Linux Mint 20.2 Edge edition. I have used this to run MatterControl successfully.

  @jhamburg430 I didn't see the video card you listed? If you are using the graphics on the cpu, then there is your problem.

  Can you see the error in the GCode preview? If there is a line segment that is not in the direction that you expect that would be a bug in the model or possibly how it is slicing. But if there is nothing in the gcode view that is showing this error it is in the settings (probably speed).

  @javilen MatterControl in Ubuntu is finicky with display drivers. Especially with Nvidia drivers.
