The good news is this is being worked on. I have not needed them since I purchased my N2 but I know I will need them sooner or later. In order of importance, here is what needs to happen to ideaMaker for me to sell my S3D license and purge it from my Mac. But the Raise3D team is working with me to fix this and I'm told S3D does not support this. Sadly I've not been able to connect my Mac via wireless to the N2.Or having to connect a PC to your printer?! The horror!!! Now I really don't want to lose my print preview! To say nothing of the thought of a touchscreenless 3D printer! Can you imagine clicking through those stupid DOT matrix displays that look like early 2000's car radios again! I sure can't. It's funny, back in the Kickstarter campaign I thought this feature and the touchscreen were kind of gimmicky. I also became accustomed to the Print Preview.But this is a really good piece of software that is being developed at breakneck pace. It would be one thing if IM sucked as I'm sure most of us experienced users expected. At that point the flashbacks of too many options came back and I cowered back to the security of the slicer I know is being developed exclusively for my beloved N2. I didn't even check to see if the speeds were different. I've become institutionalized by the Ideamaker's bias towards print quality.But I've used S3D, Cura, and MatterControl and they are all very clunky so it makes the IM clunkiness par for the course (sadly). Note that there are still tons of things that IM needs to improve from a GUI standpoint. Now we know we can get Resume Print to work on S3D, though I don't think it happens automatically. Especially since I had the threat of losing the Resume Print, and Print Preview features if I remained with S3D. The GUI made want to like IM, so I put a little effort in to poke around and was hooked. A clean, profesional-looking graphical interface was what made me give IM a fair chance and not close it after ten seconds to go back to S3D. I like the IM graphical interface better.But the amount of options it has makes me dizzy and so far ideaMaker has been just so damned good.
I know this may be heresy for you advanced users but I've fallen in love with ideaMaker.
