I already talk about why I can not use slicing program . If one can do change to existing slicing software then I am interesting to talk. All new thing can be multidisciplinary. That is why I only taking very specific nerrow subject. On Mar 11, 2018 12:17 PM, "Chris Albertson"

It sounds like you are considering reversing the tool path of an additive machine. That can't work. The tool end would have to pass through solid material. If the goal is to have your additive machine create different surface properties for material near the edges then this is typically done

This is the problem with most non-engineers. They just to solutions without fist fulling sting the problem. Can you state the problem to be solved. Are we trying to improve surface finish? What is the tool being used If this is an additive machine like a 3D printer then reversing the

i be honest, i am not smart enough to go into CURA - opensource software to increase step up in Z direction up to .5" and turn extruder feed off or set extruder feed to constant. not sure how many people can do that --slicing step is variable with a maximum of 0.05 surely that is a constant in

Could you not get constant extruder feed by simply ignoring what the software generates or by using the feed rate to generate a feed/nofeed signal? If the slicing step is variable with a maximum of 0.05 surely that is a constant in the code. Just change it! The reason for open source is that

hi i did search on google for slicing software. i try to contact open source slicing program Cura. i could not get hold of software designer, only sale and maybe tech support. i could not find slicing software where head feed -extruder feed can be set CONSTANT. second , in all slicing software
