Re: Sanguino case fan connection - 11 years ago
My bad, forgot to specify that I want the pins to be powered during printing only, so that I don't get yet-another-fan-whim constantly. For constant 12V source I went straight for the PSU connector and split there.by MPower - Sanguino(lolu)

Are there any pins on the Sanguino board that can be used for a fan to cool the Sanguino board itself?by MPower - Sanguino(lolu)

Re: Infill % for printer parts - 11 years ago
Oh well.. I thought there was a "standard" or something when printing prusa/mendel parts. I guess I will just throw more infill in those parts.by MPower - General
Re: Infill % for printer parts - 11 years ago
It was 0.2, but line infill though. I will give it a try with 0.3 on those cracked parts.by MPower - General
Infill % for printer parts - 11 years ago
I printed a Mendel Pro kit for a friend and he managed to crack some of the Z and X parts. What infill these parts or printer parts in general are supposed to have? I am not sure if he disregarded that it was "plastic" he was tightening or they were weak themselves. I doubt they need to be 100% solid either, cause it would take me weeks to print them.by MPower - General
Re: [Would love your feedback] Presspin: peer-to-peer 3D printing - 11 years ago
At first glance the website raises a lot of obvious doubts about the success, but still, I think you should launch it and see how popular it gets. FL is not worry free either, both as a buyer and a seller, but it works.by MPower - General
Netfabb Studio command line parameters - 11 years ago
Does the Netfabb Studio support command line parameters? I am specifically looking for the automatic repair one, to add a shell context menu for right click on .stl files.by MPower - General

Is it possible to have the job time as ETA and total time also? Such as ETA: 32:6s of 46m:8s?by MPower - Repetier

Skinny slicing? - 11 years ago
For some reason every thread in an object sliced with Slic3r turns out too skinny, both perimeters and infill. Same settings work perfect in Skeinforge, though. It's a MKV hotend, if it matters. In the example shown in the photos, you can even delaminate the perimeters if you stick your nail between them. Did anybody bump into such issues?by MPower - Slic3r
Re: List of PLA (and ABS) filament distributors - 11 years ago
A simple list of sellers is not very effective IMO, without any reviews. You could just google "buy PLA", if you would just want a list of sellers, but some reviews would come in very handy.by MPower - General

Re: Job finished notification - 11 years ago
The only problem would be that I can't seem to find an option to "link" the repetier-host to the repetier-server. I mean there is no option for server IP and everything.by MPower - Repetier
Perimeters > Loops > Infill - 11 years ago
If you set the order Perimeters > Loops > Infill, SF will first create each individual perimeter, then after doing all perimeters, it will come back and do loops for them. Is there any way to do each loop right after the perimeter it is attached to?by MPower - Skeinforge
Re: Job finished notification - 11 years ago
That will be a good addition. In the meantime, I see there also is a repetier server. I didn't use it yet, but I see it is a PHP flavor. Is this an working server and does it receive job finished notifications? I could simply tweak the PHP scripts to notify me.by MPower - Repetier
Speed multiply - 11 years ago
If you are in the middle of a print and you bump the Feedrate multiplier to 200, do you also have to bump the Flowrate multiplier? Since extrusion G1 lines contain both the move and the extrusion, I guess Feedrate would be enough, but just making sure.by MPower - Repetier

Is there some way to trigger an external program when the Repetier host finishes the job? I am trying to get email or sms notifications every time a job is complete. Thanksby MPower - Repetier
Temperatures - 11 years ago
I tried playing around with having different temperatures for various layers, but no gcode is added for the different temperatures I have set. Is this a bug or you have to do extra stuff to make it work? Thanksby MPower - Skeinforge

Re: Buy MendelMax 2.0 beta or 1.5 ? - 11 years ago
Printing 0.1 with 0.4 is doable, but not the best scenario. Btw, layer height doesn't relate to surface smoothness. You can get a nice flat-ish surface with 0.5 too.by MPower - General
BOM explanation - 11 years ago
A friend asked me to put together a Mendel Pro for him. I am looking at the RepRapPro-Mendel-BoM.ods file but it's slightly unorganized. There is a section marked in blue - what's up with that? Then there are columns from A to P with no column header for most of all - do they have any meaning? I looked around the docs but there was no explanation. Thanksby MPower - General Mendel Topics

Re: Viewer of G-Code / Sketchup G-Code importer. - 11 years ago
After calibration, G1 E5 should make the printer move 5mm of filament. As in: 5mm of your filament pass from your spool, through your hobbed bolt (or whatever you are using). On the other hand, in term of printed threads, the slicing software calculates how much filament should be melted in order to obtain a 5mm thread of a specific layer height and thread width.by MPower - Slic3r
Re: Enclosing foreign objects in the print - 11 years ago
Just a side note: if you just pause over the print with some noozles, they leave an ugly blob due to oozing. You might want to add some gcode to move the noozle away and return it after you resume. The most simple way for me was to add a dummy column object on the plate, that gets printed in parallel. It has a marking where the print should be paused - for example a square column with a circle fiby MPower - Printing
Re: Viewer of G-Code / Sketchup G-Code importer. - 11 years ago
You can always check the source code and see how everything in Slic3r works. As about the fast moves, if you move the same distance and your extruder keeps up with that move in terms of extruding the same amount but in a smaller timeframe, then nothing happens different. However, if the moves get ridiculously fast, the extruder won't be able to keep up, sometimes it will jam, or the motor will sby MPower - Slic3r
