conservative print parameters

[edgar-meyer 0]

I have a relatively new (2-month-old) Ultimaker.

I have conservatively tried to work with Skeinforge 35, but the number of parameters in PLA-Ultimaker-failsave v1 is overwhelming

help files such as

http://wiki.makerbot.com/configuring-skeinforge

are minimally helpful, partially because it is not a good fit and partially because it is sketchy.

can someone point me to a consistent set of parameters? I'm willing to try newer Skeinforge files, but I need to be sure that I have all the files, so as not to be left guessing.

many thanks!

1: upgrade to the Marlin firmware

2: dump skeinforge 35 and get at least SF 44

3: read through

http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Sprinter#Spri ... _and_later

. Yes, it says Sprinter firmware, not Marlin, but don't worry about that.

4: post again if you have more questions or problems!

Yikes! Instructions from the DC-extruder days and SF6. Don't read those!

My suggestion (and self made sollution)

It has the defaults right, you'll need to use Marlin, which makes better quality prints, and comes with Printrun which is more stable to use to print then ReplicatorG.
