Dear Users,
I am thrilled to announce that Z-Suite 4.0.0 BETA is now live for both Windows and macOS!
Alongside standard stability and performance improvements, this update introduces an exciting new feature: setting groups. This feature provides greater control over the printing process and, for M300 Dual users, unlocks the ability to create multi-material prints.
You can download this version here.
We look forward to hearing your feedback!
The new interface in Z-Suite is unintuitive and confusing. The old interface offered many useful features but requires adaptation to today’s 3D printing standards. It lacks the ability to calibrate external filaments, for example, through settings like flow rate, which is a fundamental feature in modern slicers – especially considering the availability of your material profiles. I have the impression that the current interface resembles solutions from XYZ Printing from 10 years ago.
Modern slicers offer organic supports and the ability to precisely configure advanced printing parameters, such as the first layer’s temperature or detailed retraction options. In the case of your printers, performance remains low, and the so-called “speed mode” is just an increase in speed without considering an appropriate nozzle with high flow rate, which significantly limits the results. The lack of a G-sensor results in noticeable ghosting and print inaccuracies.
Overall, I feel that Zortrax devices have stagnated technologically since 2018. Today, the market is dominated by printers with CoreXY systems – even Prusa has adopted this direction. The lack of automatic calibration is also a significant issue. The capacitive sensor you use is insufficient, and constant problems with “sensor noise” only confirm this.
I hope this feedback will contribute something valuable, even considering the dwindling user base of Zortrax. Another issue is the performance of the service department – I’ve had numerous experiences with your technical support, and unfortunately, they weren’t positive. I’m familiar with all your devices and have to say that sometimes truly bizarre malfunctions occur.
I wonder what happened to Inpsiere 1 and 2? there is no more s in the software!
Inkspire 2 is supported in the stable (3.6.0.0) release you can get from Support Center. This version of Z-Suite 4.0.0 BETA does not have resin printers - we will add them in the future.
