Hi I have tried SFACT with excellent results. However I would like to be able to use the HOME plugin. Having copied the plugin which file do I alter to add it back to the Craft menu? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98162#msg-98162 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 11:53:10 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98788#msg-98788 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98788#msg-98788 -------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks.

Installed daily branch. Now working.]]> emt Skeinforge Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:24:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98756#msg-98756 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98756#msg-98756 Or better use the daily branch.

I made the change I thought was required and I have just realised SFACT is not including the home procedure.


extrusion.py

def getCraftSequence():
"""Get the extrusion craft sequence."""
return 'carve scale bottom preface inset fill multiply speed temperature raft skirt chamber jitter clip stretch skin comb cool wipe home lash limit dimension export'.split()


What have I missed out? Or do I need it in a particular place?]]> emt Skeinforge Fri, 23 Sep 2011 13:16:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98296#msg-98296 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98296#msg-98296 -------------------------------------------------------

I have provision to clamp them. I am not advocating this as standard practice but it has proved useful on a couple of occasions.]]> emt Skeinforge Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:02:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98273#msg-98273 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98273#msg-98273 nophead Skeinforge Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:02:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98254#msg-98254 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98254#msg-98254
My set up is unusual. I use EMC with Mendel. My background is CNC and I prefer the total machine control EMC provides. In the home file I issue an optional stop command and sometimes a bed heat reduction command. This means I can stop between layers if I want to. This enables all kinds of actions. Embedding nuts. Putting in prefabricated supports. I have also started a job, had to go out so stopped it and carried on the next day.]]> emt Skeinforge Tue, 20 Sep 2011 04:00:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98214#msg-98214 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98214#msg-98214 skeinforge_application\skeinforge_plugins\profile_plugins\extrusion.py

The original sequence is:
carve scale bottom preface widen inset fill multiply speed temperature raft skirt chamber tower jitter clip stretch skin (leadin) comb cool hop wipe oozebane splodge home lash fillet limit dimension unpause export

Although I put clip in front of raft... leadin is not in the original sequence...

But what do you need home plugin for... You can have your printer home before print with preface and also add to the start.gmc file...
the current daily has also some extra lines that you can add to the start of the gcode file.]]> ahmetcemturan Skeinforge Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:16:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98162#msg-98162 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98162,98162#msg-98162
