Topic: Slic3r & Solidoodle

After reading about a few people using slic3r, I decided to install it.
Its definately more user friendly than skeinforge, and processes gcode HEAPS faster.
Settings seem to be alot easier to navigate.

Ian has already blogged about slic3r @ http://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/slic3r/

Profiles for slic3r are very easy to save & share. Its 1 single .config file.

Is there anyone out there that has already received there Solidoodle interested in using slic3r and toying/tweaking the settings & sharing with all of us?

Nobody can be held personally accountable for anything that may go wrong with these profiles but for us new guys, a starting point as far as settings/profiles goes would be great.

Cheers guys,
Dale

Yes, maybe Ian can post his config file here for others to try?

Re: Slic3r & Solidoodle

Over 100 printers have shipped, surely 1 of those people would like to share with us.
Ian can't do it all on his own :-)

Re: Slic3r & Solidoodle

One thing to be careful about is the start.gcode, and the gcode speed. Make sure you are using the correct setting for your start.gcode. We don't recommend speeds over 3000. We've seen some people who have tried to speed up their printers, and it hasn't helped their prints, to say the least.

Start & End Gcode should look something like this.
