There's always the option that your printer controller firmware is limiting its top speed.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Quotetouchy88 Hi I am trying to open an .exe file from the slic3r`s option "post script process". i don`t know to program on pearl, so i make an c++ program which change parameters of this gcode. I would like to open this program, when slic3r finishes the exportation of the gcode. can i open this .exe file directly? there is no much info about this on internet.... i need to install pearl on myby Mikk36 - Slic3r
Always test motors first without attaching them to the carriages/drive system.by Mikk36 - General
Quotedeckingman Quotethe_digital_dentist Quotedeckingman Well I've order some Chinese lead screws, 8mm dia 1mm pitch single start. My thinking is that multi start and/or 8mm pitch would be too course for the z axis - we need resolution not speed. I have 1/2" lead screws (yes, imperial!) in the Z axis of my printer and a 20/42 pulley reduction and get flawless prints. You're going to print in 1by Mikk36 - CoreXY Machines
Out of curiosity, those of you planning or already having built the 3-ballscrew with a single stepper Z-axis systems, how are you attaching the pulleys to the ballscrews? Are you just buying a cheap trapezoidal/acme leadscrew with multistart and then machining it to have a smooth bore to attach the pulley to or is there another trick to it? Sure, one option would be to get the ballscrews from Misby Mikk36 - CoreXY Machines
From the drawings it seems to me that the 0,6 mm and 0,8 mm models of the nozzles are supposed to only have that single chamfer (D equals nozzle main shaft diameter). What size nozzles are you talking of?by Mikk36 - General
Infill is 10% on all of those, the extrusion width is changing. If you don't want it to change automatically, set its value yourself from the Print -> Advanced page.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
The model isn't manifold, What did you use to create it?by Mikk36 - Slic3r
You'll indeed have to do it manually, either by hand-editing it with a text editor or writing a script to parse either the layer number or z-height from the generated gcode and inserting the necessary command there.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Your issue is that your Cinema 4D (which is not meant for doing mechanical CAD) is creating two seperate shells into the same STL file and they are not merged. I would recommend you to try out some other mechanical CAD software, if you would like to do things properly. Simplest would be to try out Autocad 123D, next up from that (yet still free for hobbyists) would be Autocad Fusion 360. If youby Mikk36 - Slic3r

There's a thing called network, if you don't want to dedicate your powerful PC for just the printer.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Technically Slic3r is able to produce a layer by layer SVG for use with a DLP, but it's severely limited in configurability.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Are you following this guide?by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Indeed, that should entirely be controlled by the firmware, not the gcode generator.by Mikk36 - Laser Cutter Working Group
It would help if you uploaded your gcode from Slic3r to here (link it from dropbox or any other site you like).by Mikk36 - Slic3r
I just go through the gcode file, get the min and max values for both of them and then do some math to get the centered around X0Y0. Then it's just a matter of going through all the lines again and add or subtract the necessary amount from each. A node.js script I used: Needs a output.gcode file in the same folder to read data from, saves as output_centered.gcode.by Mikk36 - Laser Cutter Working Group
Ah right, it was named a bit differently. This is what I meant:by Mikk36 - Slic3r
As far as I know, the list is the same as is put into the end of the gcode file you save from Slic3r.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Seems to me as if Slic3r respects your external perimeter speed and all the other speeds are brought down for some reason. Your external perimeters are the only ones at 50 mm/s, the rest are at 40 mm/s, even though you've set them at 50. Slowing down due to very fast layers? A debug setting for output might reveal more.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
No, doesn't work, you need to modify the gcode file itself to recenter it. I use a small node.js snippet for this.by Mikk36 - Laser Cutter Working Group
Would it be feasible to smooth the ABS with Acetone fumes and then have them silicone coated for improved chemical protection? I'm guessing this would get rid of both the small grooves and stop the ABS from reacting with foods or other materials.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
Can you link a gcode file with your assumed issue?by Mikk36 - Slic3r
What seems to be the limiting factor to getting the gcode from other programs to work? Any specific codes that Repetier doesn't recognise? Maybe you could link a sample gcode file that fails to work with Repetier?by Mikk36 - Slic3r

Extrusion width does affect the corner radius in XY plane, so you could say that you can get better resolution in that sense with smaller extrusion width.by Mikk36 - Slic3r
