How to add HOME to SFACT

Hi

I have tried SFACT with excellent results. However I would like to be able to use the HOME plugin. Having copied the plugin which file do I alter to add it back to the Craft menu?

The file to change is:
skeinforge_application\skeinforge_plugins\profile_plugins\extrusion.py

The original sequence is:
carve scale bottom preface widen inset fill multiply speed temperature raft skirt chamber tower jitter clip stretch skin (leadin) comb cool hop wipe oozebane splodge home lash fillet limit dimension unpause export

Although I put clip in front of raft... leadin is not in the original sequence...

But what do you need home plugin for... You can have your printer home before print with preface and also add to the start.gmc file...
the current daily has also some extra lines that you can add to the start of the gcode file.

Many thanks.

My set up is unusual. I use EMC with Mendel. My background is CNC and I prefer the total machine control EMC provides. In the home file I issue an optional stop command and sometimes a bed heat reduction command. This means I can stop between layers if I want to. This enables all kinds of actions. Embedding nuts. Putting in prefabricated supports. I have also started a job, had to go out so stopped it and carried on the next day.

Don't the objects come unstuck when you let the bed cool and then heat it again?

I have provision to clamp them. I am not advocating this as standard practice but it has proved useful on a couple of occasions.

Hi

I made the change I thought was required and I have just realised SFACT is not including the home procedure.


extrusion.py

def getCraftSequence():
"""Get the extrusion craft sequence."""
return 'carve scale bottom preface inset fill multiply speed temperature raft skirt chamber jitter clip stretch skin comb cool wipe home lash limit dimension export'.split()


What have I missed out? Or do I need it in a particular place?

In the main branch you have to move the home.py out of the obsolete plugins directory to the other ones.
Or better use the daily branch. It has the old plugins still in place so you only need to modify exrtrusion.py.
(it could still be that it wont work due to some changed variables....)
