Problem: Skeinforge can't save?

I've been avoiding Skeinforge up to now, but I'm finally biting the bullet and setting it up. I've been using Pronterface as the frontend to skienforge and I cannot seem to get the gcode file saved once it is sliced. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? The error code is listed below.


Thanks!

Can you post the .stl you are trying to slice?

It is just a simple 0.5mm walled calibration box. I've tried this on a few different .stl files, and all of them are having the same problem.

It's either your Python install, or your version of Skeinforge.

You need Python version 2.7.3, and I have been using Skeinforge 50 without any issues. That file slices and saves with no errors.

Are you running 32 or 64bit system? I remember when I setup SF/Pronterface that although I run 64bit Windows I had to install all 32bit python etc. to get it to work.

I am running Python 2.7.3, I have the 32 bit version installed on my old 32 bit machine, and I am using Skeinforge 50. I've tried the pre-loaded version on RepRapPro's github site here. Still doesn't work.

Try Skeinforge from the original source of the software:

[fabmetheus.crsndoo.com]

Pretty much any other source of Skeinforge is a modified version.

I have had issues with modified versions of SF, like the Sfact version support plugin had been modified and would create support on the top of sliced models. Replaced with Fabmetheus support plugin and problem solved.
