Hey Enrique, I've been printing with PLA quite a bit, and am refining my Skeinforge settings. Is there a place where we could dump copies of our Skeinforge preferences, with some simple annotations?...

Unfold & Wade, Thanks for the offer to test experimental settings. I should have a couple of new features to test within a couple of months. Cheers, E

I'd also be happy to test for you! A backlash system and native 4D/5D firmware compatibility would also be very nice. This anti-backlash greatly improves my print-quality and reliability (prevents...

Hi Erik, Thanks for writing your 3D-to-5D script and for offering to test new settings. I've added a link to your script from the first post. Over time I'll port features from your script to...

Re: Skeinforge contributions - rafting challenge!
To all who master the python ;) Because of the shrinking of the extrudate tension builds up inside objects, but also in the raft. I sometimes get warped objects because the raft snaps loose. I...

If you do that the raft will have less strength to resist the layer above contracting. If your raft isn't stuck well enough to resist its own warping forces, how is it going to keep the object flat?...

My rafts only snap loose when a few layers of the object adds to the force. nophead> If you do that the raft will have less strength to resist the layer above contracting. Do you mean that the...

Interesting discussion, I like the idea of the raft following more the outline of the object. The raft is indeed a huge waste of material, any savings there would help. I have printed around small 60...

Yes the professional machines make the raft follow the outline. I get a good finish on my parts with a raft because I use a very fine, closely spaced, top layer to the raft.

Hi Nophead, I am moving to a spares bottom layer/dense top layer too because I found too many lines of the first object layer sinking in between the top layers lines with standard Skeinforge settings.

@unfold: I meant on double sided tape. I've seen duct tape used as well (to my suprise) but I only said that to confuse you all ;) @nophead: I'll also try a more closely pitched top layer. The first...

Yes they look good. What does tower do for you on a shape like that? I find the temperature of the first later crucial to being able to remove the raft. I also cool the raft to ambient before doing...

@nophead: (As you know) tower makes sure that a few layers of an island are built right after each other instead of many switches between the islands. For this object it is where the horizontal...

Enrique, a feature request ... (I'm still trying to figure out python but getting pass "define the structure with white spaces" is not that easy) One of the nophead's movies on youtube show a nifty...

would this be something that someone could get from skeinforge statistics? - read the output and create a raft size and test it? Sorry I really like how versitile skeinforge is. To the authors credit...

Hey Enrique, Is there a way to pass to skeinforge a different settings directory path from the command-line? I've been gradually piecing together some code to construct "calibration unit tests", to...

Aside: The change is to ./fabmetheus_utilities/settings.py My particular fix doesn't work exactly as I'd hoped/expected - it creates ./.skeinforge if it doesn't find it instead of falling through to...
