We would love to look into what might be the problem. If you are willing, you can zip the following files and send them to me @matterhackers.com (NOTE: you will need to go to your actual username):

C:\Users\ Your Windows User Name \AppData\Local\MatterControl\MatterControl.db
C:\Users\ Your Windows User Name \AppData\Local\MatterControl\data\default.mcp
C:\Users\ Your Windows User Name \AppData\Local\MatterControl\Profiles\ Your MC User Name \opentabs.json

If you just want to try to get things working your can reset your app data.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback. We have created an issue for both these issues and will get them fixed.

This might seem a bit complicated but it will accomplish what you are asking.

• Add your part to the bed
• Add a measure tools to the bed (the yellow arrows in the tool bar)
• Measure the inside of your part that you want to change
• Group the measure tool and your part together
• Right click and add a Modify -> Transform -> Scale to the group
• Switch to Percentage
• Turn off Lock Proportions
• Adjust the Width and Depth by the same percentage to get the size you want
• The size will show on the measure tools

All this will be easier in the future. The measure tool will automatically stay with your part and the scale tool is going to get a lock proportions for xy (as this questions shows the need).

Thanks.

If you submit an issue to support with the profile and the things you are trying to print, we'll be happy to look into it.

Here is how to export the profile.

And the best way to share the print is to save it to your cloud library and then send a share code in the support ticket.

You can also add all the same stuff to GitHub if that is easier for you.

You can:

• Insert a cylinder
• Right click it
• Select Modify
• Select Printing
• Select Convert to Wipe Tower

With this method you can define both the shape and the position of the wipe tower. The tower will stop printing as soon as no more transition are required and the top of the shape will continue to be projected up as long as there is a need for more tower (even if the original shape is short).

Hope that helps

If you had an old build you may need to remove it before you can install the new one. Don't know why, but we have seen it happen.

This should be fixed in the current build.

There is not a feature for that yet, but the next update will always to a retraction (and z lift if available) when traveling over top layers. This can dramatically improve top layers.

@whonose thanks for the feedback. Glad we got it fixed. That is now part of our testing suite.
