Make outline start on inside of object
July 31, 2011 05:42AM
I have recently switched from using the RepRap java Host to skeinforge, I have managed to get quite good prints with it now but there are still some small blobs and sometimes gaps on the sides of the printed objects, how can I get skeinforge to... (like the java host does)... start the outlines on the inside of an object and head to the edge so that it 'Purges' the extruder before the outline is printed?

Any suggestions will be very handy, thanks.

Thread Sequence Choice in the Fill plugin.

And activate Skirt for 1 layer.

To what should I set this option?

Loops > Perimeter > Infill

IF you don't want it to start on the outside.
I personally use Perimeter > Loops > Infill.

This option just seems to make it do things in a different order, how do I get the perimeter to start extruding inside the object and then go to the edge like the java host?

This is the difference:

AFAIK that is not currently possible using Skeinforge.

Set for Loops->Perimeter->Infill as Bob suggested and turn on Clip with parameters 0.15 and 10 for the Clip over Extrusion Width (ratio) and the Maximum Connection Distance Over Perimeter Width (ratio). The explanation is here.
