First print success on 05/05/2017: Files sliced successfully. 04/16/2017 Update: Problems persisted with other files, to be documented when encountered. I struggled slicing original files with Simplify3D, but generated gcode with Cura instead. However, the support generated wasn't ideal. With Simplify3D, manual support generation is possible exactly where needed. Free remeshing programs failed to produce results. Instead, I used Netfabb Basic on my laptop to split files into main carriage and removable cap parts. Saving the separated files required optimizing, but even after optimization, gcode was still subpar. A breakthrough came when running optimized files generated by Netfabb Basic through the Netfabb Online Service. A compatible file for Simplify3D was finally achieved, awaiting first print verification.
