Skeinforge Stretch - Holes too small
July 31, 2011 01:25PM
Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble printing holes the correct size. (My steps per mm are all correct - a 20mm test cube comes out perfectly sized so it can't be that).

I am printing a simple ring 2mm high, ID 22.4mm OD 34mm. But the hole comes out too small. I read that the stretch plugin is used to correct for this so I started looking at it.

My problem is that in order to get remotely near enough 'stretch' I have to enter VERY high numbers, which introduce strange 'artefacts' such as in pictures 1 and 2.

Can anyone advise me on how I can improve this situation - am I setting something totally wrong?

Thanks

Andy
