    I have printed a Stegosaurus for a friend (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:133660). It has been printed with Glow-In-The-Dark PLA and supported by Scaffold.

    I used S3D to do the slicing. I have attached the profile and factory file for anyone who wants to try and print their own using my settings. You may need to check some of the G-Code scripts to make sure it matches with your docking positions. The model is scaled up to ~126% to take full advantage of the BigBox's large build area.

    The print took 28 hours, 59 minutes and 43 seconds to complete. It was managed by the amazing OctoPrint!

    Scaffold works brilliantly with PLA and most of it peels right off without any problems.

    There can be a few stubborn parts that won't come off. For those we can give Steggy a bath!

    95% of the scaffold has dissolved away, there are only the few unavoidable bits which have been trapped in the print. Luckily they are on the underside.

    Don't forget to put your Stegosaurus out to pasture, it can really do wonders for their glow at bedtime.

    Zoomed in on the build cost in the Simplify screnshot: I suppose most of that reflects the true cost of Scaffold?

    Imagine the time and cost savings if we could do the majority of the support in PLA and just the contact layers in Scaffold....

    Would be nice to have that feature in s3d. The only slicer I know of that has it is Mattercontrol - but I've never actually tried it. I downloaded it ages ago, but have yet to give it a try (somewhere way down on my todo list).

    Would be interesting to see how the results compare.

    Ignore those numbers, I don't bother inputting the data so they are in now way related to the actual print cost.

    Your BigBox Oozeless Tool Change Script has some gcode syntax that is new to me.
    Does it depend on any specific version of Marlin? I am currently using: VERSION "1.1.0-RC6"

    {IF NEWTOOL=0}T1 S1
    {IF NEWTOOL=1}T0 S1

    I don't remember seeing the S attribute in this position before.

    Ahh yes, its for the newer firmware versions. In some instances on tool selection change it will move the new toolhead automatically to the current position. Not good when the head is docked. S1 disables the auto-move.
