What does the log say? Most likely your laptop is lacking SSE2, which should be noted in the log message.
just tried running on my girlfriends laptop (also windows 7), and my mums pc (xp) with the same result, not having fun :(
oh i do get this error at startup though......however i didnt get the same error on mums computer and it still crashed at the same point.

That error is... well, not sure where it comes from. But it still works after the error. You can fix that error by installing .NET runtime 1.1 (which includes the DLL)
EDIT: Identified the offending file. It's "/python/Lib/OpenGL/DLLS/gle32.dll", it's safe to remove the file, as SkeinPyPy doesn't actually do anything with it.
The other error, might have something to do with the model you are slicing. I've seen the same thing happen once. Running the stl file trough
might help. But I'm also interrested in the model and setting you are using to cause the error, maybe I can fix it.
Daid, i may of found a small bug, if i flip a part over using Flip Z, the gcode produced is of the part before the flip.
Also i am struggling with support, i have a part with a flat area which is the on the bed, then there is a 1mm raised
area which i need to have support under, at the moment i am using "Exterior only" is this the best option.
Feature request - Would it be possible to move the part around rather than it being always centered ?, like in Netfab
as i like to try and not print always on the same blue tape at the center of the bed.
Keep up the great work, i am getting better results than when i was using Netfabb now

"Exterior only" support is broken... because, it should have been "Exterior Only" with an upper case O. Stupid bug that I made. (If you change "newui/mainWindow.py" yourself, it should work)
Thanks, all 3 flip actions indeed look broken in the slicing. I'll have a look at it.
The object is movable by adjusting the machine center in the machine config tab. (The confusion has been noted )
A beta like this is perfect to get all these bugs out. I'm not adding features right now, and just fixing the bugs. So we can have a bug free release pretty soon.
Ok so here is the file im trying to slice..... its from here (
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14248
) but i scaled it up and split the stl into 2 seperate parts (upper and lower jaw) using rhino (a nurbs modeling program, it was the only way i could think of to edit the stl), i then repaired it up with netfabb basic.
I did a similar thing with the top half of the skull, but I just tried slicing it many many times, and eventually fluked a success. Ive also had skeinpypy (the previous beta) fail on other models though.
The settings im using are
layer height =0.1mm
wall thickness =1.2mm
bottom/top fill =2mm
fill density =30%
skirt line count =5
start distance =6mm
print speed =50mm/s
temperature =192
support:none
filament =2.89
density =1
machine centre x=100
machine centre y=100
nozzle=0.4
retraction all defaults (im actually curious what values people use for this, as i have trouble with stringing still)
travel speed =400 (just to max out whatever marlin uses)
max z speed =1
bottom layer speed =25
min cool time =10
expert, all defaults except hexagonal infill
Ok I must say, I have been using beta 3 all day on other models, and it really is crazy good, my prints come out sooo much nicer than when I'm just guessing at settings with skeinforge, well done!
Hi
With the download of SkeinPyPy-Beta3 I tought this will me help start printing (after one year of trouble). Unfortunatly I have an old machine, (trying to be one of the first having an 3D-printer). I have an ATmega 1280 and so I have used the plug-and-play 'custom firmware installation'. Using the 'rerun wizard' the 'Marlin-maker' respond with 3 downloads (I dont know what to do with the last two). Then I used the 'expert' again to install the custom firmware but after selecting the HEX firmware file in the Marlinmap the printer react with an Time-out message. What to do now?
Simon
The firmware installer doesn't work for the ATMega1280. You'll need to install the firmware from the build-me-marlin zip file. The auto detection of the right serial port also fails, so it's not possible to use the calibration wizard or the machine check. (I should have asked if they had any old ATMega1280 hardware laying around last friday... so I could test with it)
Other then that, the slicer should work fine, and printing from PrintRun should also work.
If you still have problems, and now I'm going to play the scary stalker, looks like you're from the Eindhoven area. I suggest you make sure you're invited for the next Ultimaker evening in Geldermalsen, and bring your printer then. If you are still having problems with it, it's pretty certain that there are enough people around who can help you then. I'll also be around then. (I don't know when they'll have a next Ultimaker evening)
"Exterior only" support is broken... because, it should have been "Exterior Only" with an upper case O. Stupid bug that I made. (If you change "newui/mainWindow.py" yourself, it should work)
Editting py is a little beyond me, as long as its fixed in the next release i will be happy

It will be, already fixed it in the source. I'll be bugfixing for a week and then release a new version. So we have a pretty bugfree version for people to work with, and as base for the next version. There are many ideas already (there where many idea even before the beta3)
Its already working pretty well for me, but i like the interface as its nice and simple and i would struggle with netfabb
to make the changes i can within skeinpypy within a few seconds.
And the popups when you hover over a box are really handy for a newbie like me.
Here is the mainWindow.py with the fix applied. Just copy it into the win32-SkeinPyPy-NewUI-Beta3SkeinPyPy
ewui folder and replace the existing one.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40755495/mainWindow.py
(Save file...)
I haven't tested the fix myself, just followed the instructions from Daid.
Daid, do you have a idea when the next release will be out which fix's the exterior only support bug.
I am using the everywhere support, but it cause's a lot of problems with my parts, as there are supports
everywhere :lol: and in places were it takes a long time to get the material out.
I have a batch of parts to print and if a new version is coming soon, i will hold off printing them until the
new release with the bug fix is out.
Jonathan
rock500> Download this and see if it is fixed.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40755495/win32- ... 3_fix1.zip
It's Daids package with edited mainWindow.py file.
I hope to release the Beta4 (which is Beta3 with bugfixes) on friday. But you can always grab the latest python sources from github:
https://github.com/daid/SkeinPyPy
replace the "SkeinPyPy" folder with the "SkeinPyPy_NewUI" folder from github, and you'll have the latest version with all the fixes from last week.
I also hope to release a MacOS and Linux version this friday. But the Mac version still has a serious bug in the tooltips.
Daid,
I haven't printed for about a week or so. Don't have the current SPP running, so this comment may not be relavent. I am going to wait until your next udate that might be coming later this week.
I haven'tt done much printing with support turned on. Just tried to use it thru your beta2 version. I don't see any way to control the support fill density. The default looks like it might be 50% fill. Anyway, I think it probably could be alot less most of the time and it would be nice to be able to define it. It would save some print time and material. Don't know if you've already considered this, or maybe implemented it in a more recent version.
Another very minor comment; I am running dual screens on the machine I run SPP on. As a default, the program starts on my primary screen. If I drag the program to the other screen, the pop-up help tips appear on the first screen where the window was. This is in Win7. Like I said very minor
Thanks for everything!
Matt
Yes, more support parameters was also requested by other people.
I'm not sure what the "Support_Flow_Rate_over_Operating_Flow_Rate (ratio)" and "Support_Gap_over_Perimeter_Extrusion_Width (ratio)" actually DO. And if any more more parameters effect the support in Skeinforge...

Woah its awesome! but running on my laptop i still get the "somthing went wrong during slicing!" error :(
