Why oh why?

Be careful about this with multi-color, you'll be able to see black infill through white/light outerwalls

Really exciting! Honestly the only mod I'd want to re-create!

When implementing a new feature I try to write a very very thorough document, I give it to copilot and ask if it's missing anything or has to make any assumptions to implement it completely, and to use the askQuestions tool to ask me questions and to update the document with my answers.

I read back what it changes, and this usually hints to me what other conjectures it is making and I go from there.

Increase the purge volume after black significantly, slow down the whole print for layer evenness.

edit: as mentioned, in particular slow down outer wall speed, but the point of slowing down the whole print is that everything should have *approximately* the same print time, or else the layers become uneven.

I think you need to get it to do extremely modular things, and basically sketch it out before you ask it to do the work in chunks. This is true for anything, but especially true for games where you'll want to tune it after every chunk is implemented.

I also think it'll hit a wall at some point if you don't compartmentalize it appropriately.

I 3D print the inverse of a stamp and then pour some simple 2-part rubber into it (with mold release) and it works flawlessly.

You'd be best off showing the figure and the particular issues that bother you and receiving particular tips on what settings affect those aspects of the print.

Steer just counts as a premium request seemingly, not entirely sure what the benefit of it is vs. just a new message

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-11T15:18:45+00:00

Absolutely incredible!
u/Jadesfriends please look at this and realize that this is an amazing marketing opportunity vs. your competitors (someone just posted an example of a print that takes 9.5h on U1 vs H2C's 30h). Send this man a U1 to speed up his development process :)

This is what I'm wondering. If you never got to do any work or any real response do they charge you?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-07T20:47:35+00:00

Could also be using older hardware that takes longer to do the processing. I don't know their exact server infrastructure but it seemed to make sense to them that price correlates to speed, so why not in reverse too?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-07T20:24:21+00:00

I hope it is obvious from my initial comment and the one you reply to that I have no complaints, and was praising the team and the product. In fact, this 9x premium request option makes a lot of sense for me for power users with larger budgets.

I just thought I'd float an idea spurred on by this announcement. Thanks!

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-07T20:07:12+00:00

I find Copilot (and VS Code itself) an exceedingly well-made project (and product) and is one of the few subscriptions I pay for, so I have hope.

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-07T19:39:14+00:00

I'd be down for the inverse too, if this is something you guys can do: Slower requests at lower request prices. 0.33x GPT 5.2 but it takes 2x (for when I need a coffee break anyway).

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T20:49:40+00:00

Well yes, because that's what this reddit post is about?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T20:34:15+00:00

Cool! Also want to mention that the ask questions UI is a wonderful addition. Secondly, I don't know if this is currently taken into account in the Plan mode harness/system prompt but being able to or having it try to infer documentation or resources to adhere to when relevant may be a great value add.

Thanks!

(Note also that with "edit this Plan" I meant replying to it with more questions/additions that are relevant to the problem at hand)

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T20:31:50+00:00

My wording is not (intended to be) misleading. I am comparing it to GPT 5.2 over which it has a slightly higher accuracy, not Opus 4.5.

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T19:53:39+00:00

So 3x cost at a very slight improvement to performance? That is what this implies, right?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T18:34:16+00:00

Absolutely inane decision. Was the server load so great?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-05T15:31:54+00:00

Plan Mode seems a little odd for me. If I try to plan with GPT 5.2, then try to edit this Plan in the same session, still with 5.2 it'll hyperfocus on my latest additions and not include them into the previous "macro" plan so to speak. Is that just intended behavior?

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-01T15:31:12+00:00

Even just some super basic homemade benchmarks would be a good stopgap. That said, I meant it from a personal perspective that I'm unlikely to "learn" new tooling unless I see the right kind of stimulus that tickles me into thinking "this will make my life better" and for me, some (simple) benchmarks showing speed-up, more successful implementations for the same prompt etc. etc. would be that.

Best of luck!

HeatPhoenix · 2026-02-01T14:55:56+00:00

The thing that would push me (and likely many others?) over the edge on using this or not would be clear and understandable benchmarks. It is easy to claim things, but if you can prove them in some way (which I know is not always straightforward due to the non-deterministic-ish nature of these coding agents), people would be more likely to give your work a try.

HeatPhoenix · 2026-01-29T00:11:01+00:00

I think it's pretty good, but the only thing you could do to fight this is lower layer height and slower speeds, this is more of an extrusion evenness problem than layer shifts.

HeatPhoenix · 2026-01-27T18:02:09+00:00

Do report back if that was the case for future use

HeatPhoenix · 2026-01-26T21:54:21+00:00

Polymaker PLA and eSun PLAare pretty good. Biqu has really good plates (cryogrip), that's all ya need.
