Z-Suite 1.12.0 for Mac is VERY slow

Z-SUITE/Firmware General Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I just bought another Zortrax M200 and downloaded Z-Suite for it. It takes ages to slice a model. Like 5-10 minutes minimum without supports. With supports it can go over 30 minutes.

My MacBook Pro is a brand new 2017 model. It has a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 2133 MHZ, Radeon Pro 450 graphics card and an Intel HD Graphics 530.

Any advice on how to make Z-Suite faster would be welcome please!

Kind Regards,

Nick

I've been having even more problems. After Z-Suite slices 100% it then fails to display. There's a message that says:

"display error cannot assign enough memory. result will not be displayed". Then Z-Suite crashes.

I'm on a brand new high-end MacBook Pro so really shouldn't be having these programs at this point.

Still using v .96 even though I have 1.7.2.1, 1.8.1.0, 1.9.0.0,1.10.0.0, 1.11.4.0 on my Mac. Sorry but all of the nice new features still don't produce an end result like .96 does for me with .29mm & Z-ABS.
