Hi, Need someone to run a couple of test prints for me....tried to upload to thingverse it has "issues". A: Two STL files Lens Cap per pic B: Case Tube STL 1) Don't have a working RepRap 2) Not sure what STL output is exporting 3) NEED SOMEONE TO PRINT OUT & give measure, so I can update the design and put in the public the release!

:)-D Yes, we are on the same page with this. The test print design needs some adj then a release, followed by the final product.

Calibration accounts for shrinkage.
That´s why you calibrate the "strech"-settings
after you are done with "perimeter width over thickness".

Even so meassurements on a test-print are only
valid for that one printer, one material,
one environmental conditions, one version of
skeinforge and one skeinforge-profile.]]> MarcusWolschon Wanted Mon, 03 May 2010 12:21:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44413#msg-44413 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44413#msg-44413 -------------------------------------------------------

Need to account for shrinkage etc.

The case should be more complex than that....several internal threads etc were designed into it and a couple of other tricks in the design.

This will be of the most help..[www.thingiverse.com]]]> Prober Wanted Sun, 02 May 2010 15:58:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44412#msg-44412 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44412#msg-44412 If a printer is properly calibrated the printed model will match exactly the model.
Sizes, hole-diameters and everything.

LensCapCropped looks like it has a very small overhang of 90°. The maximum that is possible is 60°. Printers cannot print layers in mid-air.

Is test-case a massive, non-hollow cylinder? What needs to be tested in printing a cylinder?]]> MarcusWolschon Wanted Sun, 02 May 2010 15:36:13 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44395#msg-44395 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,44395,44395#msg-44395
A: Two STL files Lens Cap per pic
B: Case Tube STL

1) Don't have a working RepRap
2) Not sure what STL output is exporting
3) NEED SOMEONE TO PRINT OUT & give measure, so I can update the design and put in the public the release!
