====== Skeinforge Settings for our PrusaMendel ======
===== Config file on internet =====
Working configuration is stored at https://github.com/AxTheB/skeinconf

===== Hardware that we have =====
We have RAMPS board, wades extruder and use 1.8deg steppers with *8 multistepping. ATM we can do moves with feedrate 4800 in X direction and 5500 in Y direction smoothly.
We have Sprinter firmware, with e_steps_per_unit set to mm of feedstock.

===== Custom gcode files =====
.skeinforge/alterations/homing.gcode (this one is run every layer. Read temperature)
<code>M105</code>

.skeinforge/alterations/start.gcode (this one is put before the first line of generated file. Sets metric, absolute positioning then homes all axis)
<code>G21
G90
G1 X-250 Y-250 F4500
G1 X-250 F4500
G92 X0
G1 X2 F800

G1 Z1 F10

.skeinforge/alterations/end.gcode (this is appended to end of generated file. Moves the printed object to front then homes Z, as homed Z axis oozes less)

<code>G92 Z0
G1 Z2 F30
G1 X0 Y200 F4500

===== SF =====
Settings for plugins, as they appear in the interface. SF40, everything is in Craft tab. Settings are for PLA

==== Bottom ====
When Z axis homes its touching the plate to prevent oozing, so we have ''Additional Height over Layer Thickness (ratio)'' set to 0.8

==== Carve ====
Left to defaults

==== Chamber ====
Activated, ''Bed Temperature'' set to 45

==== Clip ====
Active with defaults

==== Comb ====
Inactive

==== Cool ====
Active, ''Minimum Layer Time (seconds)'' set to 20. ''Method'' set to ''Slowdown''

<del>This one is still problematic, as less means objects will deform, but after 10 seconds of circling the extruder oozes a bit.</del> Probably solved by Slowdown instead of circling.

==== Dimension ====
Activated. ''Filament diameter (mm)'' is set to measured 2.80 and ''Filament packing density (ratio)'' to 1

''Retraction Distance (milimeters)'' is set to 1.5 which gets very good results, except when cool plugin is circling 

==== Export ====
Deactivated ''Add Export Suffix''

==== Fill ====
Active, with ''Infill solidity'' set to 0.23 (its prettier than 0.20 and we have translucent objects)

==== Fillet ====
Inactive

==== Home ====
Activated, homing.gcode is used to read temperatue

==== Hop ====
Inactive

==== Inset ====
Active, at defaults

==== Jitter ====
Inactive

==== Lash ====
Inactive

==== Limit ====
Active, ''Maximum initial feed rate (mm/s)'' set to half of feedrate, ''Maximum Z Feed Rate (mm/s)'' set to 1.5

Faster Z feed rate was giving funny results, as all objects were shrunk to 2/3 of expected size. Not sure about maximum initital feed rate setting. 

==== Multiply ====
Activated, ''Center X (mm)'' and ''Center X (mm)'' set to 90

This one moves objects to center of build plate. Quite important.

==== Oozebane ====
Inactive

==== Preface ====
At default values

==== Raft ====
Active, with ''Base layers (integer)'' and ''Interface layers (integer)'' set to 0 - objects are good enough when printed directly on heatbed. ''Object First layer'' infill multiplier both set to 0.7, perimeter multiplier both set to 0.5

Rest at defaults.

==== Scale ====
Inactive

==== Skirt ====
Active, with ''Gap over Perimeter Width (ratio)'' 3.0, rest at default. With skeinforge from git I have activated ''Convex''.

==== Speed ====
Active, with ''Feed Rate (mm/s)'' and ''Flow Rate Setting (float)'' both set to 45, ''Travel Feed Rate (mm/s)'' is 55 and in ''- Perimeter -'' both values at 0.7

This one slows down when printing outer layer, making prints prettier.

==== Splodge ====
Inactive

==== Stretch ====
Inactive

==== Temperature ====
Activated, but all temps set to 195

==== Tower, Unpause, Widen, Wipe ====
Inactive
