indeed I do. Sorry, was typing on my phone, and didnt notice the mistake.
I've not really got into modeling that much though (only just got my printer ) So I cant comment on modeling software, other than I dont particularly like sketchup... lol. Wings3D used to be good when I did modeling for some "The Sims 2" mods, but I've been told its gone down hill since then...

My favorite slicer is Simplify3d, its very easy to use but also has many features to play with. Its the only slicer that I know of that you can create custom supports. Its nice because they offer profiles for many different printers so you only have to use 1 slicer for all printers that you have. Some other features that are helpful is the multi-model positioning for multi nozzle prints, instead of eye balling it will place the models where they where when they were modeled.

Simplify3D is an excellent slicer and probably comes top of our list. However, Cura is also really good and $150 less

I purchased a license for Simplify 3d. Now I need to figure out how to use it! Time to hit the books again :-). Oh, by the way, when I went to go print another design (made multiple prior and did not change anything), the printer seemed to have "jumped across the X axis a bit (few mm) and skewed the print. What could have caused this? Belts? I don't know....

I checked out your filament. Is the shipping price figuring in that I am in the USA? If so, thats a great price and I'll definitely try some.

That shipping price is not to get to the US but PM me or email us at support@3dexfilament.com and we can get you the best price.

Modelling: Currently Fusion 360, why - a combination of licence options, reliability and features. I used Solidworks for 5 years previously, and SolidEdge for ~2 years.
Slicing: Flashprint, but I have 2 dual extruder printers. I'd like a couple of the features from Simplify 3D but haven't needed them.
