When to save a Factory File vs. GCode in Simplify3D

In this video we outline the differences between a Factory File and GCode from Simplify3D 3D printing slicer software.  This can be helpful when sharing files with others or when you are troubleshooting a particular part on your 3D printer.

We are big fans of Simplify3D and we bundle the Simplify3D Slicing software with all of our German RepRap 3D printers here at 3DChimera.

The Real Price of a Small Breakdown
Sometimes it is not the big failures that cost the most. A $5 part goes out, you shift resources, and think you have it covered. Days later, you realize the “workaround” created a bottleneck. Now your most profitable line is running slow, and every day down costs $20,000 in lost profit.
