Reprap- Day 39 Fully Calibrated and Printing!

[ferestcar]

The final quality doesn't look good, could you improve it?

@ferestcar look at my latest videos. This was almost a year ago.

The products look a bit rough. Is it the limitation of this printer ? How long to print a single object ? Thkx

[xaviorbat]

has anyone tried to print anything like an angel or anything? I've wondered how these things handle things like wings

@xaviorbat check out lots of inspiring creations on Thingverse

I have pronterface with sfact and Sprinter Firmware that I was able to obtain care of the author repositories. Pronterface is a Python based printer manager and Sprinter is a RepRap 3D Firmware (printer MCU code)

 written by Kliment / #reprap @ freenode IRC SFact is also written in Python as a replacement SkeinForge, modified from SkeinForge by Action68 / #reprap @ freenode IRC

Is it very difficult to Calibrate it?

I am looking at all your videos, and it looks like it takes very long before it actualy works right. Long hard work?

[GeoDroidJohn]

@linkspecialproximity I'd say it's different for everyone and based on the machine. Some will go together better than another of the same type. Lots of long long nights and days.

@GeoDroidJohn But when its eventualy done, can it make really difficult shapes?

Hi, great to see you're finally there! :) What do you use to make the gcodes? repsnapper, skeinforge, other? and to print, repsnapper?

[GeoDroidJohn]

@epatelx Initally I used repsnapper until I jumped through the hoops for skeinforge 40 thats working for me now.
