Skeinforge for RapMan

This article or section is currently under construction

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

Introduction

Skeinforge is a tool chain for printing 3D objects.

The purpose of this entry is to write down the most important parameters and settings for the RapMan V3.1 as installed at TECFA (each Rapman may be a different)

Some parameters

Chamber

Turn off

Fill

Allows to define how an object should be filled.

• Default: OFF

Parameter || Explanation || Default || Comments

Solid Surface Thickness

Defines the number of solid layers that are at the bottom, top, plateaus and overhang

3

} Fillet Purpose: Rounding of corners Default: OFF Flow The flow script sets the flow rate by writing the M108 gcode. Default: 210 Jitter Jitter jitters the loop end position to a different place on each layer to prevent the a ridge from forming. Raft Raft is a script to create a raft, elevate the nozzle and set the temperature. Parameter || Explanation || Default || Comments Base Feed Rate Multiplier Defines the base flow rate multiplier. The greater the 'Base Flow Rate Multiplier', the thicker the base, the lower the 'Base Flow Rate Multiplier', the thinner the base. 1 Maker it greater than the default } Speed Speed is a script to set the feed rate, and flow rate. Parameter Explanation Default Comments Add Flow Rate Will add g-code On If nothing comes out of nozzle check this. Feed Rate Defines the feed rate for the shape 16 millimeters/second seems a bit too much. Flow Rate Defines the operating flow rate 210 This may be too little Perimeter||have higher build quality on the outside at the expense of slower build speed||0.5 Travail feed rate Defines the feed rate when the extruder is off 16 slow down for figures with lots of little pieces. } Temperature Parameter || Explanation || Default || Comments Base Temperature Base temperature 200 This is much too low ??? 200 not enough Object First Layer Infill Temperature 200 Object First Layer Perimeter Temperature 220 Object Next Layers Temperature 230 Support Layers Temperature 200 }
