(Old README, is outdated!)
|
|
|
|
SkeinPyPy is a patched version of Skeinforge. Made to make use of PyPy in combination with Skeinforge easier.
|
|
It's also packaged with a customized version of PrintRun. To make a compleet software package.
|
|
|
|
It's best to use this package with the Marlin firmware. See: http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Skeinforge_PyPy
|
|
|
|
====How to use===
|
|
Download the package for your operating system.
|
|
|
|
Windows:
|
|
Double click the "skeinforge.bat" for Skeinforge, this can be used to slice your models into GCode.
|
|
Double click the "Printrun.bat" for "PrintRun" this is a graphical command&control interface for your printer. This can run the generated GCode.
|
|
|
|
Linux/MacOSX: (experimental, no packaged python)
|
|
First you'll need to have python installed on your system! With pyserial when you want to use PrintRun. You do not need pypy, this is packaged with SkeinPyPy
|
|
Then run SkeinPyPy/skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py for skeinforge to slice your model
|
|
Or run printrun\\pronterface.py for the PrintRun interface to print your model
|
|
|
|
====What is changed====
|
|
* Do not show settings when ran from command line
|
|
* Run PyPy to slice a model instead of normal python
|
|
* Changing "Perimeter width over thickness (ratio)" into "Perimeter width".
|
|
With 5D machines this makes more sense, as you have good control over the width.
|
|
* Save settings in .skeinforge_pypy to not mess up normal skeinforge profiles.
|
|
* Default settings changed to match Ultimaker with dimension firmware (Marlin or Sprinter) and PLA.
|
|
* Modified "Object first layer speed" settings to work on the first 3 layers (configurable)
|
|
* Added "Object first layer travel speed" setting, to slow down the travel on the first layers.
|
|
Reduces the chance that a travel pulls the first layer lose.
|
|
|
|
====Bugs====
|
|
The graphical analize plugins don't work (Skeinlayer and Skeiniso)
|
|
|
|
====How does it work====
|
|
The user interface still runs in normal python (as PyPy with TK is a bit hard to build, especially for windows),
|
|
and when you slice it will run command line PyPy to slice the model.
