ReplicatorG needs specific Replicatorg settings to use Veruca correctly.

*Download the replicatorg below to an OSX or Linux box and extract it using the following command:
If you extract the folders in the file located here into the replicotorg version 24 or 25 folder you can have magical fun time
+
**tar -xf replicatorg-0025-lvl1.tar.gz
the main two things you will find is a machines file that makes replicatorg understand how to talk to Veruca, (Cupcake with stepstrudder and HBP) and skeinforge settings that have the correct start and stop settings to keep you from destroying your thing.

Current State

Not working, boxed under the table

Specifications

  • Audrey 2 "Mark 6 plus" stepper Extruder head w/.4mm nozzle

Printer settings

  • Download the replicatorg below to an OSX or Linux box and extract it using the following command:
    • tar -xf replicatorg-0025-lvl1.tar.gz
  • Run replicatorg:
    • cd replicatorg-0025-lvl1
    • ./replicatorg
  • Open an STL file
  • Click Move
  • Set on platform
  • Center
  • Click Generate G-Code
  • Select type of plastic you're using
    • If it's not slightly clear, you're probably using ABS
    • The non abs settings have not been tested and might not work.
  • Once g-code generation is done you're ready to print! (I'll write those instructions later)

Modifications

Working on it

  • Z axis wobble
  • Automated Build platform belt wobbles
    • I have no idea maybe a new belt made of thick kapton tape built to a tighter tolerance. covering it with pieces of narrow kapton seems to work for now.

Known Problems

  • extruder motor seized Fixed with http://wiki.makerbot.com/the-great-motor-mystery
  • Power supply died replaced with RMA
  • Z axis wobble It will die
  • Automated Build platform belt wobbles allowing print to move -- this part has been removed until a suitable solution can be devised

Future Ideas
