Skeinforge Week: Jitter

Wrapping up Skeinforge Week we have a feature I wish I’d known about a long time ago: Jitter.  The above cups weren’t actually made with Skeinforge, but they’re the best illustration I could find of a big problem: the print head turning at the same point over and over again, eventually resulting in a thick, heavy seam on one side of the object.  All my dodecahedrons have this.

The Jitter setting in Skeinforge moves the stop point around randomly so the seam doesn’t have a chance to form.  Another handy feature from the BitsFromBytes Wiki article!
