Skeinforge Week

BitsFromBytes, long a friend of the RepRap project, is hosting a great Skeinforge page on their Wiki.  Skeinforge is, as I’ve said, a really, really complex tool designed with more of an eye to getting all the features in there than making it easy to use, and finding the “magic settings” for your machine can be a daunting task.

The work on the BitsFromBytes page is really helpful for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that they use images directly from skeinview to illustrate what a given function does.  This week I’ll be picking some key lessons from the page.

This page has a lot of great stuff on it, maybe even enough to take a few of us to the next level in print quality.  When your slicing software is a manually-operated tool, expertise can make a big difference!
