Operation

Settings

Add Custom Code for Temperature Reading

Default: on

When selected, the M105 custom code for temperature reading will be added at the beginning of the file.

Infill in Direction of Bridge

Default: on

When selected, the infill will be in the direction of any bridge across a gap, so that the fill will be able to span a bridge easier.

Infill Width over Thickness

Default: 1.5

This parameter tells Skeinforge how thick the extrusion is expected to be in relation to the layer thickness. The effect of increasing this is to cause the lines that create the infill to be further apart. So if your solid base infill is sparse decrease the value. If solid infill appears too full increase the value.

Infill Perimeter Overlap also effects solid infill by shortening the lines. If you look at a solid base layer that has been laid down on glass or tape without a raft you can often see how the plastic flows and see which to alter for the best result.

Loop Order Choice

Default: 'Ascending Area'

When overlap is to be removed, for each loop, the overlap is checked against the list of loops already extruded. If the latest loop overlaps an already extruded loop, the overlap is removed from the latest loop. The loops are ordered according to their areas.

Ascending Area

When selected, the loops will be ordered in ascending area. With thin walled parts, if overlap is being removed the outside of the container will not be extruded. Holes will be the correct size.

Descending Area

When selected, the loops will be ordered in descending area. With thin walled parts, if overlap is being removed the inside of the container will not be extruded. Holes will be missing the interior wall so they will be slightly wider than model size.

Overlap Removal Width over Perimeter Width

Default: 0.6

Defines the ratio of the overlap removal width over the perimeter width. Any part of the extrusion that comes within the overlap removal width of another is removed. This is to prevent the extruder from depositing two extrusions right beside each other. If the Overlap Removal Width over Perimeter Width is less than 0.2, the overlap will not be removed.

Turn Extruder Heater Off at Shut Down

Default: on

When selected, the M104 S0 gcode line will be added to the end of the file to turn the extruder heater off by setting the extruder heater temperature to 0.

Volume Fraction

Default: 0.82

The Volume Fraction is the estimated volume of the thread compared to the box defined by the layer height and infill width. This is used in dwindle, splodge, and statistic. It is in inset because inset is a required extrusion tool, earlier in the chain than dwindle and splodge. In dwindle and splodge it is used to determine the filament volume, in statistic it is used to determine the extrusion diameter.
