Releases: UP3D-gcode/UP3D
updates from 0.7.3 + new binaries
This release focused on making a "preview" of the acceleration / speed / junction deviation modification available. This is done by transcoding the UP data back to g-code and call an external g-code viewer (e.g. Simplify3D).
Newly does this release include this binaries for all platforms:
tool | description |
---|---|
up3dstatus | controls and shows information about current print status |
up3dcapture | captures current print job axis positions |
up3dgcode | converts the captured data back to g-code for viewing |
up3dconvg | converts UP machine code to g-code for viewing |
Note: please focus on testing these tools on Linux as well as Windows platform, since the main development
runs under OS X.
The transcoder is updated to https://github.com/MaikStohn/UP3D/releases/tag/v0.7.3
A new version of the OS X based GUI for the transcoder allows to launch a configurable external preview. The app bundles all new binary tools from this release.
Edit 07-Oct-2016: new myUP App 0.0.29 includes now selectable filament and temperatures for extrude/withdraw
Edit 09-Oct-2016: new myUP 0.0.30 correct time display if print time is >= 1h
Edit 27-Oct-2016: new myUP 0.0.33 count down during layer print, corrected remaining time rounding issue
Edit 27-Oct-2016: new myUP 0.0.34 added dialog constrains for resize
V0.7.2 adds scalable acceleration, speed, junction dev.
The up3dtranscoder gets 3 more parameters to scale the defaults for acceleration, speed and junction deviation. This allows to control how smooth or fast the printer should operate.
Recommended values are:
a_factor | v_factor | junction deviation | |
---|---|---|---|
very smooth | 5 | 20 | 0.05 |
smooth | 10 | 50 | 0.05 |
normal | 20 | 100 | 0.05 |
fast | 100 | 100 | 0.05 |
very fast | 100 | 100 | 0.1 |
Please note that your slicer determines the maximum speed you can achieve. The transcoder applies the physical acceleration and speed limits. To get a better understanding on those settings, set first your slicer to a fast printing mode of e.g. 80mm/sec and then limit acceleration and speed via up3dtranscode parameters.
This release addresses also PID support for UP Plus printers #2 . Since issue #3 is not yet resolved, your milage using UP Plus with this tools may vary. Feedback is always welcome.
There is myUP a OS X GUI preview attached which makes use of the above settings. So if you are running under OS X give it a try and send some feedback.
Edit 3-Oct-2016 : new myUP Version 0.0.25
V0.7.1 Infill Shift Fix Pre2
This is the first release under the new Organization on Github. This release fixes a calculation error on the move vectors, which resulted in shifted infill pattern not centered to the perimeters.
