NelsonRap: most people who get worse results with SFACt have somehow hardware problems that they had circumvented during the trial and error process with SF. CAn you be more specific about what is worse and maybe post some pics?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
I will be updating on git daily now (working or not) features: 14.9.2011 Main changes: DIMENSION:Retraction handled differently. Now the only variable is the Oozerate. SFACt automatically does retraction based on the duration of the move that it will do in retracted state. SPEED and INSET Bridging: Bridge settings are calculated automatically so that your extrusion xsection equals the noby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Hi Dave, yes but it is connected to a function deeeeeep inside and when you enter a value say 1, it will output say 0.91 ast the distance but I dont get where this comes from.. I need the distance to be 0.7853 x perimeter width (talking in Gcode path distance..) I will find out...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
There is one thing that changes the spacing between the perimeter and the first extra perimeter. I couldnt figure it out yet... İt makes it slightly more apart.. Will change it when I figure it out... (as always any help is appreciated..) Upcoming version of SFACT has bridge configuration automatically set (depending on your nozzle size and your extrusion width and height.) I changed also theby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Hi Andrew, 0mm restart for 0s between threads -.1mm restart for 1s between threads -.3mm restart for 3s or more between threads ; looks like agood idea.. need to do testing. currently working on formulation for bridges...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
OK will look into that... But note to all firmware developers: Relative E motion is not good for very fine extrusion. Small circles or small distances will yield in 0 extrusion. While SFACT can calculate and at least accumulate the amount of extrusion and compensate in the next step with relative steps you will loose that advantage.. So distance less than 1 microstep step are lost. Bear thatby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Hi Denis, good Idea.. I renamed it to gcode_gen3.py for those who want to add it to their SF or SFACT: just place the file in the \skeinforge_application\skeinforge_plugins\craft_plugins\export_plugins\static_plugins\ folder.. It will appear under export above Gcode Smallby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Disable skeiniso and skeinlayer. If you want to preview layers you should enable output penultimate gcode in export and open that file afterwards from skeinlayer. Most of the time disabling skeiniso is sufficient but as you say that the skein takes long be safe.by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
brnrd: I am going to look into that.. As I said: I never used unpause... And I only can get experience other than mine by contributions like yours... If I find it useful I will add it back to SFACT: (does unpause have any settings that need to be tweaked or that should work differently..in the sense of SFACT.. asking to get a head start...)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Hi, You could also use SFACTa derivative of Skeinforge that has automated settings. It has an option (enabled by default) to send an G92 E0 command before starting the print. (Under "Preface" Plugin)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
NelsonRap: The diameter of a single roll might even vary. So if density changes make sure to remeasure....by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
The stock fiveD firmware really sucks. (IMHO) For GEN6 I strongly advise to use Marlin. (Also available as download from mendel-parts.com It is really awesome... Also Sprinter is working very good. (Marlin has better features but newer, Sprinter is much more tested and works on almost all electronics..)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Denis what firmware?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Denis, you have two options: better option: newer Firmware like Marlin or Sprinter have a maximum feedrate that you can set in the configuration. Set it to the value your Z can safely handle.. second option: SFACT has a plugin called LIMIT. Enable it and set there your maximum feedrate..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Marlin Firmware does a gret job in accelerating, buffering commands, evaluating and "thinking ahead". If your extruder can handle it and you are satisfied with a bit less quality you could print with speeds up to 300mm/s. (with appropriate acceleration settings..)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
420e: I guess you mean DIMENSION, MULTIPLY centers the piece and mutliplies the amount only. Has nothing to do with E codes...by ahmetcemturan - General
brnrd: thats correct what SFACT does it takes out the guesswork.. In the end you enter a value into packing density... of course.. SFACT did not change the basic functions of Skeinforge.. It just connected them internally with formulas...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
There is the stretch plugin for that now. As the problem that unpause is trying to solve is actually Firmware based I dont want to have that handled in gcode..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Der Satz:"set Speed\Flow Rate to the same value as the Feed Rate - just totally forget about what you think the flow rate should be and always set it to the same value as the feed rate" gilt für Skeinforge 40 und spaeter.. Bei SFACT laesst man die flowrates einfach bei 1.0. Wenn man dann die Feedrate einstellt wird im hintergrund die flowratea als: fowrate = eingegebene feedrate x eingegebenerby ahmetcemturan - Software
brnrd: He says that he gets his Perimeter OK so I am assuming he did that to a degree. Fact is that the calibration feature in SFACT can compensate for an error in E steps calibration...by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Andrew that would really be great.. But not possible for me to add something like thiis..(I think)by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Use SFACT.. Just measure your fialment diameter, enter it int DIMENSION filament diameter and print..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
In Carve tell it to start at second or third slice until you get a clean bottom... If you are having problems with SF you can give SFACT a try..by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Hi Stoffel15 Es musste eigentlich noch funktionieren. Nur in extrusion.py reinsetzen und aus dem obsolete folder zuruck zu den anderen.by ahmetcemturan - Software
Hi Dave, I ahve included a minimum settable feedrate for times when cool is active... That should do it. (It is momentariliy in the experimental branch only...) Also ı revised the skin plugin. see pictures..: is faster and better IMHOby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Gcodes for SFACT are exactly the same. All start and end files can be used in SFACT.. SFACT has extruder reset built in PREFACE as option...by ahmetcemturan - General
Hallo Leute, also Stoffel 15: die meisten deiner annahmen sind korrekt. zu dem problem: Entweder du reduzierst deine extra perimeter anzahl oder machst deine extrusion dünner, weil es da einfach nicht reinpasst. wenn du unbedingt es so habe willst dann musst du unter INSET, mit den variablen spielen... Da kannst du zB für knfliktlosungen die inneren locher vorziehen... Oder die Overlap Removalby ahmetcemturan - Software
I have actually changed the skin plugin in SFACT a slight bit as it only prints 2 extra extrusions instead of 4. just makes them wider to fill the space... Results: First 15 layers 0.4mm last part skinned.. (0.2mm) This Yoda: 31mm high only. printed in 0.2mm with skin>>0.1mm Note that the picture is extreme Macro.. for reference: the red cap is WD40, and the PLA printed piece is the miby ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
Very nice... what is the license?by ahmetcemturan - Skeinforge
