Re: Motor not moving for print - 13 years ago
Would You post the gcode here? how long are You waiting for the motor to start? If there is some M109 code the steppers will wait until the temperatures indicate din that command are reached..by ahmetcemturan - Developers
Re: Skeinforge loops speed - 13 years ago
I havent understood that. Can You be more descriptive? maybe with an STL file?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge loops speed - 13 years ago
Why? You need to print the visible part relatively slower so it looks nicer, Th invisible parts (loops and fill) can be printed faster as small faults will just be hidden, saving time..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge loops speed - 13 years ago
loops will be printed at infill speed but perimeters can be set with perimeter feedrate..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge 50 no extruder temps - 13 years ago
The march one is the stable release one, The filename is preceded by the versiıon number. The one from October is the development version and might contain bugs..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge 50 no extruder temps - 13 years ago
The temperature tool after raft is called QQTemperature, to distinguish it from the before temperature tool. Currently it does not have circling, it only adds temperatures. This is for cleaning up the workflow in SF, it is not tested yet...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge 50 no extruder temps - 13 years ago
I am keeping sort of an unofficial Repo of the SF releases.. You can find it on Github.. Just follow the Sfact link...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge

have you tried to disable the alteration function?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge

I just re downloaded and run it.. No problems...

(the penultimate one...)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge 50 no extruder temps - 13 years ago
aka47 when did you download it? and is it the stable or the beanshell version?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Using ARCs (G2/G3) with Marlin - 13 years ago
Jbernardis: I had an email conversation with Enrique about this and he said that his code was in compliance with emc2 specs. So if anyopne could test that on an emc2 controlled machine?... And Daid posted a fix for that a while ago but it corrects the movement but produces incorrect extrusion.. (at least when put to sfact)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge 50 no extruder temps - 13 years ago
Hardwarekiller: arent You confusing SFACt with SF? SFACT has a Temperature setting in Chamber that is put into gcode at the start, not skeinforge AFAIK..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: bridge feedrate not happening - 13 years ago
QuoteI'm not seeing my gcode change feedrate when bridging with 'infill in direction of bridge' turned off, but it does solid fill over bridge areas. HAve You changed the flowrate for bridges? If it is the same nothing will happen.. QuoteTurned off infill in direction because skeinforge also thinks overhangs are bridges and will fill those layers solid as well. Is this a bug? No this isby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Infill lines not parallel - 13 years ago
it is not a setting but a different method. It corresponds to line infill in slic3r. You can use rectangular infill in SF to get something "similar".(the lines are parallel but teh lines are not going from perimeter to perimeter..)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: SFACT file penultimate.gcode does not exist - 13 years ago
davejones, So you dont have pypy installed I guess.. You should be considering the installation of pypy as it uncomparably increases slicing speed..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: SFACT file penultimate.gcode does not exist - 13 years ago
Try slicing with pypy unchecked. That way You can see what is going wrong...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Sfact alterations - 13 years ago
if you dont want to have any tempertature commands at the start of the file just go into chamber and uncheck either the whole plugin or the individual settings. also disable temperature plugin. Then its all manual..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: SFact endgcode - 13 years ago
Hi Etherflash, as SFACT is a modified (automated?) version of Skeinforge it is under Skeinforge.. 1-Find the correct folder. The correct folder is the "alterations" folder. This folder is placed in the same folder as the sfact.py file is. (ignore the other ones if any other ones exist... Actually You can delete them. If they reappear You are doing something wrong with startup.. 2-make sure tby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: About that nasty ridge/seam, or: How dwindle changed my life 
- 13 years ago
acc, turn clip off entirely with dwindle...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: About that nasty ridge/seam, or: How dwindle changed my life - 13 years ago
I updated SFACT to ignore the feedrate slowdown.. That should work better now.. So the value entered will only reflect in the volume reduction of the flowrate..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: About that nasty ridge/seam, or: How dwindle changed my life - 13 years ago
jbernardis: thanks for the feedback, You have your points in Your answer and its great that You will experiment... Not many ppl willing in experimenting.. It is maybe because I really print at high speeds most of the time, so the chopping up of the Gcode segment maybe slows down the print and that helps... I will report back anyway.. Are You using SF or SFACT?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Jitter - 13 years ago
I have made a post about the dwindle settings..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
About that nasty ridge/seam, or: How dwindle changed my life - 13 years ago
Hi all, I just wanted to write an informative piece about teh awesome dwindle feature in Skeinforge (and obviously latest SFACT) Thats what dwindle does (Repetier host screenshot): It reduces the flow of filament before an upcoming travel move so the pressure is reduced and flow can be cut off precisely at the end of the line before the travel move. The different settings work as follows: (Enby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Jitter - 13 years ago
Dont be disappointed If You are setting jitter to 25 you basically have about 25 values to juggle with so You will sooner or later recognise a pattern No really jitter is definitely not working as a way to hide the seam but to increase the stability of the part, (especially with bad (mainly clip and dwindle) settings..) I currently print with (SFACT) jitter: 3, dwindle (from top: 1/ 0.05/ 5/ 2.by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Multiple PID Tunings - 13 years ago
Hi, I think the idea is good but actually the PID tuning would need to be done while extruding at your actual flowrate.. The flowing filament acts as a better coolant then a fan actually. So that input is totally neglected atm..by ahmetcemturan - Slic3r
Re: Wrong starting position (out of printing area) - 13 years ago
Have You checked that You are using the correct decimal (. in this case...) You can go safe by not entering values manually but using the arrows on the side to change values...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Jitter - 13 years ago
printing thin walls or filled objects has nothing to do with that... It is about Your extrusion width....by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Jitter - 13 years ago
Enter a much larger value manually. (watch the point... not a comma) 2.5 means: 2.5 x your perimeter width. So assuming a height of 0.5mm and HWRatio of 1.5 thats 1.75mm thats hardly noticeable espec ially if You have bad retraction and bad clip settings.by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Re: Skeinforge console? - 13 years ago
From the skeinforge.py: ===Command Line Interface=== To bring up the skeinforge dialog without a file name, type: python skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py Slicing a file from skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py, for example: python skeinforge_application/skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py test.stl will slice the file and exit. This is the correct option for programs which use skeiby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
