100x100 Heated Bed - 10 years ago
I'm thinking of building a smaller and more portable printer now that I've got two big guys on my desk. I've looked at the tantilus but am a little beholden to a heated bed. Any ideas from anyone?by savorywatt - Wanted
Re: BOLTS, a standard parts library for OpenSCAD and FreeCAD - 10 years ago
This is pretty fantastic. I've been working on something that might help. A layer of abstraction to automatically build SCAD files from different SCAD technologies (openSCAD, coffeeSCAD, openJSCAD etc.) Here is a video overview. I'm working on a blog post and some more updates.by savorywatt - OpenSCAD
Re: CuraEngine slicing and Octoprint - 11 years ago
Just an update, I made a video to show what your settings should look like and your cura install should look like as there have been some people having problems getting everything working.by savorywatt - Developers
Re: Slicer on a microcontroller - 11 years ago
Just for perspective, the 'fastest' slicers right now require Gigabytes of RAM and Gigahertz of CPU. Even if you were to consider "Just in time slicing" I don't see it as very feasible on a microcontroller. RAM constraints and threading constraints probably make it impossible. There are other easier ways to handle slicing. People are working on in browser slicing (using Javascript) or having a loby savorywatt - Developers
Re: CuraEngine slicing and Octoprint - 11 years ago
TopherMan, The issue is how Daid set up command line args being passed to Cura. The command I run internally is actually to call the Cura Python Module itself instead of the Cura executable. The patch was only needed if you couldn't build it from the devel branch (daid merged my patch). So to answer your question, args passed to /usr/bin/cura will not be passed onto /usr/share/cura/cura.py. Timeby savorywatt - Developers
Re: CuraEngine slicing and Octoprint - 11 years ago
Just to keep people updated. We moved from directly wrapping CuraEngine to wrapping Cura itself. Slice - SD card support is there. Basic instructions are located here Essentially you need to patch Cura (I added an option to pass in a profile from the command line) and checkout the slicerSupport branch on foosel's repository. It should be merged into the main Devel branch once Gina finishes soby savorywatt - Developers
Re: CuraEngine slicing and Octoprint - 11 years ago
Hey guys, Thanks for testing this out!!!! I did some more work this weekend to get it slicing and then sending the gcode to the printer's SD card. That is working but I could have sworn the -s option let you point to a config file. I'll have to do some more trouble shooting and if I have to write a quick parser to take your config file and spit it out so the subprocess makes the right call to Cuby savorywatt - Developers

Floyd, I have not found a way to do that. I'm sorry I can't help.by savorywatt - Developers
CuraEngine slicing and Octoprint - 11 years ago
Slicing through Octoprint coming soon. Powered by the fast slicing engine behind Cura. Active PR, I welcome comments. If you have a feature request go ahead and drop it here or in the Octoprint G+ community.by savorywatt - Developers

Re: Publishing/Typesetting Software - 11 years ago
Scribus looks nice. I only had experience with InDesign before and that was brief. Scribus was pretty intuitive to get started with (I'm laying out a picture book ATM). Might be worth looking into if you don't have access to higher priced tools.by savorywatt - RepRap magazine
Re: [Q] How much PLA to produce i3 Prusa plastic kit? - 11 years ago
HarshReality, How much material you need is entirely dependent on how much infill you decide to use and what layer height you decide to print at. It is very variable. Best, savorywattby savorywatt - General

Re: Idea: Slic3r as Service - 11 years ago
Long time lurker (seriously, years), finally have something to post. Snagged from my initial release blog post. The framework works with Slic3r initially but support is there to have multiple versions of multiple slicing software all co-existing. Based on the request a given slicer will be spun up and asked to slice the model. Slicerhub is a framework to power server based ('cloud!') slicing oby savorywatt - Slic3r
