Hop is a script to raise the extruder when it is not extruding.
The default 'Activate Hop' checkbox is off. It is off because Vik and Nophead found better results without hopping. When it
is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
The important value for the hop preferences is "Hop Over Layer Thickness (ratio)" which is the ratio of the hop height over the
layer thickness, the default is 1.0. The 'Minimum Hop Angle (degrees)' is the minimum angle that the path of the extruder
will be raised. An angle of ninety means that the extruder will go straight up as soon as it is not extruding and a low angle
means the extruder path will gradually rise to the hop height, the default is 20 degrees.
To run hop, in a shell which hop is in type:
> python hop.py
The following examples hop the files Screw Holder Bottom.gcode & Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the
folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.gcode, Screw Holder Bottom.stl and hop.py. The hop function will hop if the 'Activate Hop'
checkbox is on. The functions writeOutput and getChainGcode check to see if the text has been hopped, if not they
call the getChainGcode in stretch.py to stretch the text; once they have the stretched text, then they hop.
> python hop.py
This brings up the dialog, after clicking 'Hop', the following is printed:
File Screw Holder Bottom.stl is being chain hopped.
The hopped file is saved as Screw Holder Bottom_hop.gcode
