Width over thickness for the perimeter

Width over thickness for the perimeter
November 20, 2010 05:59AM
Hi

I need to edit my Gcode, so that the perimeter has a width of 0.5 mm and the fill has a width of 3 mm. Is it possible to have different width over thickness in a layer?
As you can see in the picture. I already edited the width for the fill, so now I just need the perimeter.

You can set the "Perimeter Width over Thickness" in Carve.

but if you have a look at the picture, it seems like the width is the same as the width for the fill.
And it's 1.8 for the perimeter and 9 for the fill.

9?

The picture shows the infill closer to the perimeter than the perimeter is to itself so it looks to me like your "infill Width Over Thickness" is smaller.

I always use 1.5 for both.

yes 9, its for a setup with 2 extruders. One with a nozzle diameter of 0,5 mm and another with 3 mm. The small nozzle shall print the diameter, and the wide one shall print the fill. I just need a Gcode, where I manually can insert the change in nozzle...

Skeinforge doesn't seem to work for values bigger than 2 for me. At 3 it crashes and at 9 the only infill is inside the 8mm holes.

I can't see how 3mm wide infill will work anyway. You will get a big gap in the corners.

Hi

I don't think Skeinforge can handle 2 extruders. Your best bet might be to ask Enrique.
