content of micro sd card available?
July 21, 2014 05:57PM
hi, i was wondering if there´s a download for the card content, especially the printrun
folder. since i was fighting with calibration and trying several things, pronterface won´t start.
the logfile shows no hints.
i think the directory is corrupted somehow.
so, can i download this special folder?
i print with cura, big prints are ok, tiny are crap. this is why is want to start over, and make
a new beginning with printrun an skienforge and the tools which nophead recommends.

kind regards, andi

The settings are here: [github.com].

The apps themselves have to be downloaded from the places listed in the manual.

ahh, it worked. pronterface runs and the android is centered, and also the ooze free start happens.
but there´s a thing i don´t get: if i download a stl file, and i open it in pronterface, then its printed in the front left corner (seen from my view).
i understood that i should slice the stl in skeinforge first?! or is this false?
my question is: how can i print a downloaded stl file with the settings nophead provided, which are 1. item centered on the bed 2. ooze free start, etc...
thanks in adavnce,
andi

Placing the part in the centre of the bed is controlled by activating Multiply and setting the number of Rows and Columns (both 1 for a single object) in the Skeinforge profile.

Ooze free start is controlled by the start GCode file (usually named start_PLA.gcode) which should be set in the Skeinforge profile Alteration tab under Name of start file:.

If you have not copied the settings to the correct location in your home directory then the profiles and/or the start GCode file will not be found by skeinforge, and it will use default settings, which is most likely the cause of what you are seeing.
