SkeinGUI - a simple Skeinforge 50 frontend Hi guys, I've created a simple Skeinforge GUI app to the settings I use the most. Be warned - it's not meant to replace Skeinforge nor Cura. It's just a life-simplifying tool :) Released on https://github.com/acc-/SkeinGUI Sources included and Linux/Windows binaries as well. The main screen looks like this: skeingui10.png mod_embed_images_loadimage('53e7a2fdb31ba5039fd5e86f26fc3ac9', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?154,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg155.imageshack.us%2Fimg155%2F75%2Fskeingui10.png', 'http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/75/skeingui10.png', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?154,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fimg155.imageshack.us%2Fimg155%2F75%2Fskeingui10.png', '', 150957, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); Hope you like it ;) -- acc https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,150957#msg-150957 Thu, 21 May 2026 15:53:57 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160412#msg-160412 Re: SkeinGUI - a simple Skeinforge 50 frontend https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160412#msg-160412
okay!… :)

I think it's an illusion to make a simple GUI for a complex software. You can do that only if you take decisions (by setting parameters) that you don't give the user the possibility to take. Skeinforge versions comes from a recursive process, where real world is involved, how the reprap machine really does what you imagine. Enrique is always reorganizing Skeinforge with better sense, by transfering parameters from one plugin to another, by renaming some settings. Successive better senses can't be seen before the reprap use into the real world. For me, the common opinion of Skeinforge difficulty or awful interface actually comes from slicing difficulty…

thanks for the translation! no, for me it's difficult to find oneself ("se retrouver"?) into slicing, not into Skeinforge…]]> François Delègue Skeinforge Sat, 13 Oct 2012 04:27:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160372#msg-160372 Re: SkeinGUI - a simple Skeinforge 50 frontend https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160372#msg-160372
I know the gui is probably not his priority and that's perfectly fine. He's busy making a better slicer software and that's awesome. I'm sure his plate is full as it is and that Is why I suggested ACC may be able to help in that area.

Il y a plein de logiciels hyper complexes qui sont mieux organisé, a coté de 3dsmax, blender, maya et meme la suite office Skeinforge est plustot simple (sans vouloir diminuer le travail de Enrique). Le seul point est que cest dificile de se retrouver dans ce logiciel. Déjà, le gui de acc se présente mieux.

GUI mess… Enrique makes a very complex slicing software, this complexity can't bring to a simple interface… I don't speak english very well but your word "mess" seems not to take into consideration the difficulty of the task… another thing: when you write software it's another world to write a GUI, it's not necessarily your first task. We have, Skeinforge don't, to dive into Skeinforge and slicing complexity, it can't be rendered simple!]]> François Delègue Skeinforge Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:07:28 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160280#msg-160280 Re: SkeinGUI - a simple Skeinforge 50 frontend https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,160280#msg-160280 thecrazy Skeinforge Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:10:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,150957#msg-150957 SkeinGUI - a simple Skeinforge 50 frontend https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,150957,150957#msg-150957
