Does anybody know how to change the LCD knob direction in Repetier firmware v0.91? I have seen many threads on changing the LCD knob direction and several requesting instructions for Repetier firmware but have not seen any solution to this particular question. I have been poking around configuratio.h, pins.h, etc... looking for the LCD shield knob (encoder) step settings, but it is not obviousby rrr7 - Repetier
Our internal listing is Printing_Material_Suppliers so I think that external 3dsuppliers listing is falsely representing the RepRap name and logo. Is there anything that we can do to make them cease and desist?by rrr7 - Polymer Working Group
Is this webpage part of the RepRap project? 3dsuppliers.org Its using our logo and name but is is outside of our web domain name.by rrr7 - Polymer Working Group

Your perimeters seem shy on plastic though, you could try changing perimeter settings to use more plastic or to travel slower. It has been reported that some slicers do not do perimeter shells as well as others... Like I recently tried to print a completely inadequate shelled print using Slic3r which decided to make a 3 layer shell with the middle shell being interpreted as infill (even though itby rrr7 - Printing
I would not be too concerned on the free space extrusion bending to one side or the other since that is not how the nozzle was made to be used. When satisfactory settings are used the extruded filament should be confined between the nozzle surface and the print bed or the prior printed layer. If you sanded the nozzle, make sure that you re-dress it with a fine abrasive so to smooth it out againby rrr7 - Printing
Wow, that is pretty horrendous lifting! If it were me with a new machine, I would verify the mechanical straightness and flatness of the machine: 1) Verify that the print bed is very flat as manufactured? Lets say less than 0.1 mm variation in flatness over the full width. As in testing it by taking a metal straight edge (manufactured) to it and seeing no light underneath the full length from eby rrr7 - Printing
Has anyone developed methods, settings, guidelines or tools to guide someone trying to produce fine markings and text in or on surfaces on printed parts? I have seen many objects printed with large extruded or recessed lettering, but I'm looking for the smallest text recessed in the surface or just 1 layer high. ex: rulers, protractors, sextant, identification markings on objects etc...

Yes, probably true about the wording. I was looking for the equivalent of an engraving effect, thanks. I will restart with a more appropriate title.by rrr7 - Developers
Yes, but most prints that I have seen do not successfully show the small printing and scales. That is the question, what CAD dimensions to use for those features to be successful? And what printer settings go with them?by rrr7 - Developers
That was quick! a couple of days and a package from Germany arrived with I180-PF in 3mm. Now for the hard part: deciding what parts would be the best use of the filament. Since Igus produces plastic bushings that I could just buy, what would I print that I can't just readily buy? Suggestions?by rrr7 - Polymer Working Group
Thanks, but I was thinking about printed plastic parts with small text features. Maybe; line width of 1.? x extrusion width, depth of 1.? x layer height, using a font made with single line based characters?by rrr7 - Developers

When I requested information on the new Igus filament, I did not expect to receive a sample, just information. In doing so I failed to mention that I had a 3mm filament printer. The folks at Igus have graciously offered to send me 3mm I180-PF to evaluate in stead when it is available. Thanks Tom!

It came in the middle of my hot end replacement with my printer all apart and it is the wrong diameter too 1.75 in lieu of 3.00mm.by rrr7 - Polymer Working Group

I requested information about igus' new FDM material and I just received an evaluation sample from igus of their new iglide I170-PF dry-tech tribo-filament (yellow). The iglide I170-PF uses an extrusion temp of 200C and a heated bed temp of 95C on kapton or perforated plate. igus recommends paying attention to their min 50mm radii at the material feed. I180-PF (white) extrudes at 220C. igus Iby rrr7 - Polymer Working Group
Ok, so I found a couple of pages which described how to update mono on Lubuntu 12; then thought it would just be easier to update my OS to Lubuntu 14 anyway. So RepetierHost v1.0.1 is working and so is curaengine, but skeinforge50 fresh install is not working. Still working on that.by rrr7 - Repetier

I cannot get the RepetierHost v1.00 for Linux to run. After sh configureFirst.sh everything looks fine with the usual message ... "no need to add permissions", but the application will not start. The desktop link tries, but fails- just a flash on the screen. From a terminal mono RepetierHost.exe gives a SIGABRT error. That is after apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on Lubuntu and several delby rrr7 - Repetier

Either way, you can solve this with an SD card interface. That takes the computer out of the loop during the actual print while still letting you make adjustments on the SD card interface settings while it prints. Many people like them, and I am looking again at getting one. I have no clue on why the Host would shut down though. Just a thought-by rrr7 - Repetier
Thanks jobzombi, unchecking "add Export Suffix" and blanking the cell "File Extension" did it. The funny thing was, I thought after my updating to Repetier Host to V0.95F and Skeinforge 50, that I had these fields unselected and blank at first? Then started changing them when I started getting that "can't find file" error. I must be remembering it wrong.by rrr7 - Repetier
paynterf, He is speaking of the Skeinforge setting for 'Export' tab, not a Repetier Host setting. I also am running RepetierHost on Linux- Fedora and Libuntu.by rrr7 - Repetier

Food and drink is nice, but it may be more helpful if we have running printers to show- just a thought. These things are pretty portable as opposed to the big CNC machines. If we could do both eat and print at the same time that would be even better, but I don't have any ideas for where. I would guess a couple dozen people in the area that are also on REPRAP forums. Yeah, I like my RAMPS too. I aby rrr7 - Missouri, Saint Louis RepRap User Group
