Re: Difference with respect to fdm printing .... - 8 years ago

Hi Dave, thanks for the elaboration. I realize it is my problem, not OpenScad's. I was just interested in methods of others. Your tip to work wit a tolerance variable is great. I will start to use that in my next designs. Thnks Thomas

Difference with respect to fdm printing .... - 8 years ago

The OpenScad difference () function is so important, that I can not make nice things without. However, when I use the difference () to create to parts that fit into each other, they will never fit after printing. Example, difference a small cube from a large cube, print them both, they will not fit. I need to print the small cube approx 1mm smaller for a nice tight fit. I calculate these proble

Feature request : Home after every layer ? - 8 years ago

I am not sure what the wipe (when extracting) excactly does. It seems a anti droop measure, but does not specify where to mover the nozzle.. however, I would like to move the nozzle to home position after every layer, to resume after that, just as I would pause, home, resume... which gives the excact repositioning on the layer where the nozzle is supposed tobe, even when a step has missed in pre

Re: recursion detection behaviour - 8 years ago

Hmm, I agree that it is my fault and my fault only, to make a programming error. This makes me human , fortuntely, and not a program without errors However, why build in a detection routine for recursive programming, marking them even RED, if this does only inform me that I have hit the end-of-the-world button for both Openscad, as my running MAC ?

recursion detection behaviour - 8 years ago

What should the proper recursion detection routine do ? I made a small error, calling a module recursve, which gave me 4 messages in the concole after which the program went into hangup, as did my mac ... out of memory. Thus, al my last programming was lost after killing the OpenScad...... Should the detection routine not stop rendering and gve control back to me ? Thomas

Filament out sensor feature ? - 8 years ago

In de Repetier groep vroeg ik naar de mogelijkheid van het detecteren dat de filament op is en dan de repetier host te laten pauzeren. Het antwoord is om dat met de 'jam sensor' te doen, die experimenteel aanwezig is... zie GitHub. nou ben ik geen github held, dus ik kan het niet vinden. De vraag is dus waar die Jam sensor zou moeten zitten. een endstop achtige sensor of zelfs een microswitch

Filament out sensor feature ? - 8 years ago

I was looking at the new Makerbot v5 and saw that the smart extruder has a filament-out sensor that pauses the print. Could we do such thing in the Firmware, or the host ? For instance by guiding the filament through a light barrier which gives a 'high' signal to any pin at the ramps (or Arduino) when the light comes through due to filament out, after which the firmware, or the host program iss

Het zijn simpele functies. En er is een perfecte help/handleiding op het web. Daar kan je met knip en plak alle functies vandaan halen.

Re: request for Information on the slicing algorithm - 8 years ago

I can not help you with that, but if you are interested in the contour per layer, you can prototype the gcode through PrintRun . There is a screen in which you can advance layer by layer to se each contour in top view. Maybe that helps ?

e3D raakt verstopt. - 8 years ago

Ik heb mijn Orca omgebouwd naar een Mk8 extruder met daaronder een e3d like hotend. Vandaag de eerste test print gemaakt. De eerste lagen zijn mooi strak, maar na een tijdje gaat hij verstopen. Zo erg zelfs dat de stappenmotor het niet trekt. Die slaat over. (De filament gaat dus niet slippen, dus die Mk8 heeft hem stevig vast :-) Nu komt het rare: Als ik in mijn v10 horend (van Camiel) een

Re: Resume after Pause - 8 years ago

This is an old question, but I never updated the code. Currently I am, because I rebuilt the Orca with Mk8 extruder and e3d. However, I can not locate the "Travel Feedrate" parameter. Am I misinterpretating ? How much 'first one' is it ? is it in Configuration.h or in Printer.h ? Please let me know a bit more specific ? Thomas

Re: Filament change pause (Feature request) - 8 years ago

I am running the Repetier Host. When I have the object in mind, I kind of know where I would like to change the color. So I want some help to initiate the pause (including the home) baed on the side view of the object. Also, I want to have it done autonome, so it will even pause when I am not in the nabourhood. On a 6 hour print, the color change for the last 2 minutes is easily missed.....

Re: Estimated Time to Print - 8 years ago

Is there a way to influence the Repetier Host's calculation ? I have the same problem. Repetier states that the print will take 2 hours, as it actually is 3 or more...... way more than 20% So my local variables are not taken into the calculations right. Can I add a percentage to a repetier of Slic3r parameter to fix this after calibration prints ?
