I'd like to join. However, I have nothing against profit. I do want a coop, where all developers/employees decide on what we do, but we can still make money. For web development I can do javascript and svg: If we ever need to buy web hosting, I would be willing to buy hosting with bitcoins.

It was great meeting reprappers on Wednesday. By the way there was a post on the laser cutter forum about shipping to Canada: A reshipping company called Seawings Express in Blaine WA, brings things over to the Victoria BC Airport. They charge 17 C$ for the first 5lbs, then 0.45 C$/lb after that: Unfortunately, they don't mention shipping to Vancouver. International Parcel Service does men

Hello, I'd like to go a reprap meeting, but I don't have a car so it takes too long for me to get to the Langley Boston Pizza. Could at least some of the meetings please be close to a Skytrain station? Any Skytrain station would do: There are also a few other Vancouver reprappers who don't have a car but would like to meet.

Hi Triffid Hunter, > if I send something like M130 S1 P7.9, does this really take 3 binary blocks, 48 bytes? That would be up to whatever is processing the M130 command. You could put the first two values into the slots for x and y. The record format is for a movement code, but something processing an Mcode can use an alternate record format, as long as it starts with the command letter an

Hi Triffid Hunter, > does skeinforge specify what output format it's using? "G22 - steps as units" would be a good one. No. Skeinforge uses only millimeters internally, and the output for both "Gcode Step" and "Binary 16 Byte" are just integers. You can change the "Step Length" and Offset for plugins from the display windows, which can displayed by clicking on the plugin button. > Can

Congrats on the new integer code. Skeinforge has the option of outputting integer gcode. To do so, pick the "Gcode Step" plugin in the "Export Operations:" radio group in the export tool. Alternately, you also have the option of outputting binary by picking "Binary 16 Byte". I do not know what format is being used for integer or binary gcode, so the output format may have to be changed. If a

The problem was your Infill Perimeter Overlap at 1 was way too high. From the fill documentation: "====Infill Perimeter Overlap==== Default is 0.15.

bogdan, Thank you very much for the offer to set up a file storage place. I'm going to try some more to find a reprap related forum which allows big files to move the skeinforge powwow to.

Dino, who also posts under the name perpuna, is postings on forums to get other people to do his job and/or assignment.
