Downloading ReplicatorG

The main software that we are going to use is ReplicatorG, so let's download it! You don't have to install it: just download the proper package and extract it in a nice place (e.g. home folder).

Starting and configuring ReplicatorG

• Note: This works for Ubuntu, test it in Windows!

To start it, go to the folder you have just created and execute the file "replicatorg" Nice, uh? But we have to do a configuration in a file before continuing:

Setting the maximum Z parameter

By default, and to avoid problems, the extruder is not allowed to approach the build surface, because it doesn't know at which distance it is, so we must tell it that in a file. Go to the replicatorg folder, and navigate to:

.../replicatorg-0024/skein_engines/skeinforge-35/skeinforge_application/prefs/SF35-Thingomatic-HBP-Stepstruder/alterations

There you will find a file named start.gcode. Open it. Go to line 14, you'll see something like this:

G92 Z80 ( ---=== Set Z axis maximum ===--- )

Change it to:

G92 Z123.3 ( ---=== Set Z axis maximum ===--- )

Save and close.

Back to ReplicatorG

Connect the USB cable of the printer to your computer.

In the main window, select:

Machine>Driver>Thingomatic w/HBP and Stepstruder MK6

Now select your serial port:

Machine>Serial Port> YourSerialPort

And last:

GCode>Choose GCode generator>Skeinforge35
