Introduction

Axon BfB is a free frontend for Skeinforge made by Bits from Bytes.

Main operations are fairly simple:

In the main tab

  • Open the STL file
  • Select your printer in the Type pulldown menu, e.g. RapMan single
  • Select the plastic in the Profile pulldown menu, e.g. ABS, ABS/PLA or PLA
  • Click on Build (wait ... this can last several minutes)
  • Go back to the main tab and click on Download to SD card (save with a *.bfb extension and a file name no longer than 8 chars!)
