They're talking! The cable I was using was bad. Printing now. Lots of MatterControl buttons to learn, but I think I'm on my way. I'll probably email support with questions after I write down a few.

Thanks for reading!

Try unplugging the filament runout detector. It is attached just under the extruder.

Support is better on Discord. I am there everyday and there are other members who actively help.

Fuzzy skin changes an object to be a marker for where to place 'Fuzzy' on other objects. So the object that is set to fuzzy does not print on its own.

Hope that helps.

@tinken Solved. 'Has Filament Runnout Sensor' was set in Hardware when not set in printer firmware. This resulted in MC stopping for the trigger.

If you can send me the saved MCX, the printer profile (un-changed from when it creates the error) and a screen capture of the problem or the part, I would love to look into what is happening.

Thanks in advance, Lars.

Thanks @tinken for sending the files. We'll look into what might be causing the errors and try to get a fix together.

It has always been part of PRO. There may be a way to get it to export without buying it, but there isn't supposed to be .

Does you part have lots of overlapping pieces? MatterControl is trying to merge them on export so that it will produce a good STL that can be used in other software.

You may want to check if there are a lot of loose parts that are duplicates of each other. Or you might be able to combine some of the parts together before exporting.

We will work on having a solution that can export without merging when there are too many parts or the bed is too complex.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You need to 'Show Printer' in the overflow menu (3 dots in upper right).

I'm showing the Ender 3 MAX end gcode in the screen shot and it should not have a home in there. Let us know if you get it working and what you did and we will be sure to include any fixes you make in the profile.

Thanks in advance.

That's great to hear. And we do have an open issue for dealing with this better (closing the open tabs if we can't load).

I'll try and bump that up the list so no one else has to learn this the hard way :).

How thin are the walls on that wing ?

You explained it perfectly

What I am talking about with the align remaining as active is not about grouping it is about scripting or creating dynamic content. With this feature when the internal items change size or shape the align in re-applied and a complex object can be built.

Here is a great example. If you were to dig into these objects you would find that there are many aligns inside that are still active so the compound object can be resized.

And here is an animation of the aligns holding the design together as I change things.

You can see in the tree view there are lots of 'un-applied' aligns in there.

I do think there is a "power of the and" here where it could do what you expect and still be available for scripting.
