Topic: Problem with skeinforge in RH.

Well I finally switched to RH and having been using Slic3r with relatively good success.

Decided to try skeinforge (default installed SD settings), slices fine go to print and it slams into Y home and starts to print in the air.

I remember reading about this issued in the past somewhere but I thought this was corrected in Solidoodles RH install package found on their site.  All of this is just not very clear.

Does anyone have a good start/end gcode that they would be willing to share?  Tried searching on the wiki but thing aren't too clear.  Perhaps SF is looking at the wrong start/end g.code?  Totally lost here...

The skeinforge start g.code I have is:

G21
G91
G1 X200 F3000
G1 Y200 F3000
G1 X-82 Y-76 F3000
G1 Z-200 F500
G1 Z5 F500
G1 Z-10 F250
G90
G92 X0 Y0 Z0 E0

skeinforge end g.code I have is:

G91
G1 Z30 F1000
M84


start/end gcode I'm using in slic3r works fine.

Thanks.

I would love to help, but still waiting for my printer to ship and then arrive.

Re: Problem with skeinforge in RH.

That start code is designed to make the center of the bed 0,0 so it doesn't work with RH.  You would need to copy and paste the start code from Slic3r.  Skeinforge looks at a file called start.gcode, it's easiest to just search it.  There is probably one in a file path under the Repetier directory, so change that one.

RH uses SF50, and there are some big differences between that one and the one Pronterface links to (SF39).  I have a post on it here - http://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/201 … nforge-50/
