That is a good suggestion thank you, but with the script I found in the other thread there is no searching and replacing and it would work with any of the slicing programs out there (Slic3r was just an example). > And is there any particular reason, why you do not use Machinekit? > Especially I mean velocity-extrusion (g-code does not contain extruder > position commands, but defines extrusion height and width instead and > extruder velocity is calculated by actual velocity of nozzle movement > - this accounts for any over- or underextrusion due to acceleration or > deceleration etc); Alex has published his slic3r build, which creates > proper g-code out of the box. The reason I am not running machine kit is because I am working with as much as I already have in place as possible. There is always room for improvement - but I need to get it her running before I have much more funds to throw at her. ;) As for extrusion commands go - for now they are going to be ignored - all I need my nozzle actuator to open and close in place of retraction commands. The extrusion rate is actually determined by gravity for now (I am starting out following MIT’s white paper).
