Layer dependant pause, how does it work ? - 3 years ago
I often use a layer dependant pause, to change the filament color. But now I see strange behaviour with multiple objects on the build plate. .I., this code : {if == 7} @pause; This will pause the printer after completion of layer 6. This works ok with slicing any single object. Also, if I load an object and I hit the + (more), the printer will pause after layer 6, regardless how many copieby Replace - Slic3r
Re: Printing PLA on glass - 3 years ago
Maybe not similar, but I print on aluminium and I prime the plate with 3Dlac. This will glue the print when hot, but release when cold. Maybe it also works on glass ?by Replace - Printing

Pre-heating the extruder and bed will crash with DEF error - 3 years ago
I do not set temp in the code, so I will manual heat the extruder in repeater host and the bed to the desired temp. When reached, I will start the print. The last time, often I walk away from the pre heating, as It will take some time. When I expect all has reached the temp, I return. And now often I see the lcd has the error ' def'. and all heaters are off. So I reset the board, reconnect thby Replace - Repetier
Thin walls won't get infill - 3 years ago
I have often that a thin wall will only print both outer perimeters, but not the infill. So I will get a 2 lines outer side, a 2 lines inner side and between a space of approx 1 or 2 layer thickness. My infill is default honeycomb. Is the space between the walls to smaal to put a honeycomb in ? Can I change this ? Thomasby Replace - Slic3r

Re: how to curve a beam? - 4 years ago
ehh.. imagine that you have the outer part of a match box. Now try to bend it alongside a football. (not possible, but as a thought experiment) What remains is a hollow square beam with a bend according the outer perimeter of the ball. Now scale up the result to the dimensions of 6 lipo 18650 cells stacked upon each other along their long sides and put it in the box. Does this help ?by Replace - OpenSCAD
Motors keep engaged. - 4 years ago
I am printing with repeater Host. After the last upgrade of it, the motors keep engaged after movements. It used to work like this: In manual control I home the extruder. After that I can still move the carriage or the plate. Now after homing, all motors keep their position and I can not move either. Is there a setting that has been reset ? Can I change this back ?

how to curve a beam? - 4 years ago
I want to build new batteries for my drone. After having welded the Li-ion cells in the proper config, I want to place them in a square container. It will be 6 battery cells stacked on each other. So that will be a beam shaped object. (subtract a cube from a cube will do the math) However, the remaining box must be slightly curved to follow the shape of the drone landing gear, to which the boxby Replace - OpenSCAD

With the help of this forum, I now can write torus shapes, which I often require. like this : module torus (diam, thickness){ rotate_extrude () translate (v=) circle(thickness/2); } It is called with the diameter of the shape and the diameter of the body it is composed of.

Re: How to prevent OpenScad to render after startup - 5 years ago
Enif, thanks. it works My current design needs over 6 hours to preview, so it was a burden to start OpenSCAD before I could start to work .... (Yes I know, Minkowski's are consuming, but sometimes I need them viewed.) Thomasby Replace - OpenSCAD

How to prevent OpenScad to render after startup - 5 years ago
On my MAC, I have to hit f5 to render the draft object. It does not render after loading a piece of code. Recently I installed OpenScad on W10 When I load a design, it starts to render the draft by default immediately I do not want this, because my current design takes very long to render (hours) So I want to code first.... Can I configure not to render at start ? Thnks Thomasby Replace - OpenSCAD
Where to enter the filament cost parameter - 5 years ago
