Hi,
Is there any settings in skeinforge in order to prevent Oozebane with reversing the motor.
I have a stepper motor driven extruder. I know nophead did this before. I also want to try it for my printer.
can any body help?

regards,
Nuri Erginer

Hi Nuri

The Skeingorge setting for reversing the extruder motor is in dimension. There is a brief description here. Skeinforge Dimension

Thanks for the reply. I test it but the motor turns very slowly in reverse direction. Is it possible to speed it up

Skeinforge Dimension
Extruder Retraction Speed

If Retraction distance and restart are not zero this is the speed that retraction and restart occur.

A high value will allow the retraction operation to complete before much material oozes out. If your extruder can handle it, this value should be much larger than your Feed Rate.

As an example, I have a Feed Rate of 48 mm/s and a Extruder Retraction Speed of 150 mm/s.
