Its a nice post.Its great that if our default settings are giving us messy or stringy builds, this dialog can probably help.Thanks for the information.

To paraphrase Einstein, Skeinforge is subtle, but she isn’t mean.

It takes a LOT of different operations to turn an STL file into a workable set of CNC commands, and because Skeinforge opens up every step of the process between sliced profiles and finished GCodes, a lot of options are on the table. Often too many to really be sure what’s going on.

However, the vocabulary of Skeinforge is consistent, and the number systems are reasonable. Knowing as much as I do, which isn’t even the whole of Skeinforge, is plenty enough to get sound builds.

I am very glad that you are starting tutorials on skeinforge. I have gotten it mostly working, but I am sure that I could significantly improve my print quality if I tweaked it better.

Thanks.
