Why would we need to send anything other than .sml files
using ssend ?

Is the foam used in 8000 different from that on 1600? One way
of preventing the part from sticking to the foam on a
1600 is to create more layers of the set "basefast".
(The default value is 5. I would recommend approx. 8-9
layers). I have removed parts covering 85% of the foam
area with minimal damage to the foam( sometimes even with
out any damage too). This of couse increases the build time.

I would rather prefer a digital display on the machine which
records the actual time of start and stop.

It would good if the manual is better organised. I have
found it very difficult to locate the necessary info.
I also would like too add these few lines. How's is that
dicussions about FDM are almost absent on this list ? Its only that
occasionally that somebody comes up with a wish list.
