Thanks for the quick, helpful response. AND for that tricky bug fix! Code compiles now for PrintrBoard (don't know about the F version - didn't try). Lots of warnings about the redefinition of USBCON, but compiles and communicates to the Serial Monitor. Now I can get on with tuning and tweaking. Thanks again!by doctek - Firmware - Marlin
Downloaded latest Marlin (1.1.1). Compiling with Arduino 1.8.2 at Teensy2++. I've set Motherboard to Board_Printrboard (with appropriate caps).

Your instructions imply that you have individual settings for two different filaments when you have two extruders. The filament tab only shows me an option for one filament; both for diameter/nozzle size and temperature settings. How do you get the option for settings for your second extruder??

Probably a more interesting concern is what temperature sensor to use for 1000C, and how to interface it to the controller - hardware and firmware. I don't know of any thermistors that can do this. A thermocouple will probably be required, so be sure your controller can handle it.by doctek - General
Thanks for the prompt replies. The high value for convexity threw me off; using the syntax like rhmorrison shows works fine. However, what I was really hoping was that you could tell me how to (easily) get a portion of a cylinder by specifying the desired angle! Oh well, I'll just do it the not-so-easy-way. That works.by doctek - General
Andrew_Smith, I'm looking at this code snippet from an early response: rotate_extrude(120) translate ([50,0,0]) circle(10); I'm guessing that the >120< refers to a portion of 360 degrees thru which to rotate. But when I try to use this syntax, I get an error that implies the >120< is being interpreted as a file name! What version of OpenSCAD supports this syntax? I have used both thby doctek - General
One of the features that first attracted my group to slic3r was the ability to do infill every other layer (or less). This allowed finer outer layers while not delaying print speed very much. Worked great and we used is on almost all of our prints. Unfortunately, this using this capability now leads to a nasty bug.

What is the nature of the failure? I don't use the command line like this, but I do know the config file structure has changed.by doctek - Slic3r
What is the nature of the "crash"? Is it an out of memory failure, or what? I've had problems slicing large, organic shapes. The problem has been an "out of memory".by doctek - Slic3r
Are you doing infill every layer or every other layer? If you are doing every other layer and have any "interesting" geometry (such as a sloping face, or a hole with two diameters), then Slic3r will not produce correct infill. See the bug here: Slic3r Infill Bugby doctek - Slic3r
FWIW, here's how I fixed the problem. Many thanks to Fros1y on the Slic3r Issues forum for his suggestions and pointers. At least IIRC it was Fros1y - unfortunately, the issues on the Slic3r site seem to disappear after they are resolved. Also, the actual fix was *not* added to the "build from github" instructions. So I'll try to recreate my solution here and hopefully the documentation will be aby doctek - Slic3r
I get the same result on Win7. Has anyone resolved this is a way they can document? Thanks for any help.by doctek - Slic3r
Scanvs - Have a look at netfabb (free version). You can import the object and use the Cuts menu to cut it in X, Y, or Z. The cut line will show up as you move the sliders. Make the cut (there's two steps to actually make the cut happen) and you will be left with two objects. Select them one at a time. Use the Move tool to put the part at the origin, then save the mesh as an stl. Repeat for theby doctek - 3D Design tools
This may seem like an odd topic, but this is a big problem for me. Here's the situation: I need the dimensions for the Makerbot Mk5 Drive Gear (and other alternative drive gears). Makerbot provides very limited data (just the OD) which is insufficient for design or evaluation of an application of the Drive Gear. (I'm working on a new extruder design.) I have tried to contact Makerbot for this iby doctek - Reprappers
So what are the dimensions? The Makerbot site only gives the OD. I'd like the ID (shaft size as well), the length, the position of the toothed area, etc. That is, enough data to know if I can use it or not. I'd like this info for the Mk5 drive gear, the Mk6 drive gear (may be same), the Mk7 drive gear, and any other related toothed extruder gears they make. Options from other makers would be welcby doctek - Plastic Extruder Working Group
The new Printrboard is installed and running on a Prusa, replacing a Gen6 board. Just printed a respectable 20mm cube in ABS with the bed heated to 100C - all under Printrboard control. Works fine (so far) - and the bed turned off at the end of the print just like I wanted it to. (To do that, I added M140 S0 to the Gcode that runs at the end of printing.)
