  1. I have printed a test model that came with the unit from the sd card with no issues. Now I am trying to print a model from solidworks. I have saved it as an .stl file, opened it up in replicator g, created a g code however when I load the g code and hit build i get a read timed out error and a packet timed out error.

    Another thing I am seeing is after I hit g code another screen pops up that has a header of skeinlayer, and a % bar which typically only shows about 8%. I have left it run for hours and it doesn't seem to ever complete, so i hit file, save and close and I then have to open the g code.

    Any help is appreciated as this is getting frustrating

    Thanks

  2. Using replicator G/skeinforge. I took a solidworks model loaded it into replicator g, checked the box use raft support, selected full support. use default start/end code is checked as well as use print o matic. After g code appeared to be completed i closed the skeinlayer, opened up the g code. Immediately after I hit build i get the errors Read timed out and directly below that another error packet timed out? The extruder then moves extremely slow. The last time I let it go for a while and started extruding about 4" above the platform. What may I be doing wrong?

  3. I am trying to figure out how to print features that are not touching the base platform. I essentially have a model similar to a car where the only features on the base platform are the wheels. What do I have to do in order to make the rest of the model print. I am new to using the replicator G. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
