Nice!

To get the full speed of the retraction settings, you will have to go into Config->EEPROM Configuration and set the Maximum Feedrate for the extruder from 45 to 75.

Great!  But... Can you work with Repetier-host without updating the firmware?

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

The update was only necessary for printers shipped before October.

Thank You Ian.  Mine was sent October 5,   So I think I will try and see...

If you hit the Home Y button and it moves to the back of the printer, you're ok.

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

The PDF seems to have a fake link to the repetier host software and many of the screenshots are small for no reason.

Solidoodle also included a .3mm profile in the zip as well.

What version of slic3r was used during for the testing and development of these profiles?


Mac Settings that slightly different from PDF:
Repetier-Host setup for Solidoodle 2:
Step 5 'Printer Shape' is known as 'Dimension'
Step 7 'Printer' is known as 'Behaviour'

Loading Slicer Profile:
Step 1 You activate slic3r by clicking the 'Slic3r' button to the left of the 'Configure' button

Hi

when i print with the new 0.1 mm profile, the printer prints the 2 first layers.
but when it prints the third layer it moves the z axis to much.

i have followed the pdf file instructions.

anyone else having this problem.
any idea what i am doing wrong ?

Is this best done in the EEPROM section or is this something I should just flash into my firmware?

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

after installling the new config for slic3r, repetier always says there are too many objects to autoposition when i add the first object.  it always does this no matter how small the object is.

I've had this problem since day one. I always thought it was just a bug with repetier. Not usually an issue for me though.

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

You could flash to the firmware, but EEprom is easier, and won't be overwritten if you update the firmware later. 

That error in Repetier always happens, but doesn't really mean anything.  It's a bug that can be ignored.

I too am having the same problem. Using the new profile set exactly as is show in the instructions, it prints the first 2 or 3 layers perfectly. Then it drops the bed down to much and starts printing strands in mid air.  Please Help. sad

What OS/repetier-host version are you 2 using?

My issue is that repetier-host-mac .51 doesnt seem to respect my first layer speed setting of 30mm/s.

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

i use
Windows 7 home premium 32 bit
Repetier-Host V0.82b
Slic3r V0.9.7

Damn... now my productive weekend is gone!

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

Tried the profile last night no issues here with Win7.  I do not use their start and end codes (I have my own gathered from previous forum posts)

It worked great for overall layers but for my thin walled caps with very small holes- it just splooged them up and the walls are warped.  I suspect a fan would clear this up.

Cheers

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

Just got my printer yesterday, and having fun printing at 0.3.  But I would like to see what I can do at the 0.1 height.  I have solidoodle 3 and had some questions based on my experience.

a) I assume I don't need to do any firmware stuff with solidoodle 3 shipped Nov.
b) Can I just import the 0.1 config ini file into Slic3r and generate gcode?
c) I run the gcode in the same Pronterface as before; except now gcode produced by Slic3r.

I assumed this, and ran some prints.  Some issues:
1) In general, I had a harder time with the parts coming off the base.
2) Tip crossing profile made mess on edges
3) Too much material laid down when using any solid infill at any ratio, also made edge messiness
4) More warpage on the base than skeinforge after cool

Can anyone confirm my assumptions from a-c?
Anyone have good settings with Solidoodle3 (ABS) I should try to address 1-4?
Do I need cooling fan or similar to accomplish 0.1 heights?

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

Are you sure you have a solidoodle 3?  I didn't think they were shipping until January?  What are the dimensions of the bed?

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

No Solidoodle 3s have been shipped.

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

Ah, ok, I guess it was a Solidoodle 2 then.  Bed is 6"x6" (150x150).  I just assumed since they were talking about new design shipping, and solidoodle 3 in the discussion, I assumed this is what I got.  Assumptions get me everytime.

That said:

I'll assume then I have the new firmware version since my shipped after October.

What impact does version 2 versus 3 this have on my items a-c, 1-4?

Re: Solidoodle releases new .1mm profile to the public

Hi,

I'm a newbie (and still waiting for my Solidoodle 2). I'm a bit confused by the use of Repetier-Host for the new 0.1mm profile. Does that mean we don't need to use pronterface anymore?

nothing.. version3 is just a version 2 with a larger bed aka 8x8x8" instead of 6x6x6"
