As you can see, I am using the Slic3r profile provided on the Lulzbot site. It is doing this with multiple files. In this case, it’s one of the “heart gears” files, pre scaled to 85%. I have also tried scaling the print in Slic3r with the same result, no export.
When I try the export in Cura, it goes off without a hitch but the finished product is of poor quality. I am going to post a question about that in another topic. I will also attach the STL to this message.
Has anyone had this issue? I haven’t had a successful export from Slic3r in some time now and would like to get it fixed. I’ve noticed that most of my Cura prints on my TAZ aren’t very good resolution.
I always blamed the slowness one poor old core 2 duo processor… Maybe it’s a bug. I haven’t been running Slic3r since upgrading the PC so I wouldn’t know if that helps.
Generally, when I have this issue, it’s because I tweaked a setting that interferes with some other setting.
In other words, user error.
Try uploading a fresh profile and don’t tweak it at all. See if the gcode creates much quicker.
Then, if you want to make changes to the standard profile, make them one at a time and see what happens when you rewrite the gcode each time you make one change.
If all of a sudden the time span increases dramatically, just recall what your last setting change was and undo that change.
