From 77e2912a74d7caf6c1827ab6d6ae9d554eeb8728 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: appdev007 Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:53:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Added comments to the config files to, hopefully, make it a little easier on less experienced users. Also copied the GT2 belt settings from box_frame config to the config in old_single_plate. --- box_frame/configuration.scad.dist | 64 +++++++++++++++--------- old_single_plate/configuration.scad-dist | 5 ++ 2 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/box_frame/configuration.scad.dist b/box_frame/configuration.scad.dist index 0c72376..33971ed 100644 --- a/box_frame/configuration.scad.dist +++ b/box_frame/configuration.scad.dist @@ -11,35 +11,47 @@ include ; // Custom settings here, tailor to your supplies and print settings + +// Extruder settings ********************************************************** +// Don't forget to set your slicer's extruder settings to match the values you +// enter here. + layer_height = 0.3; +// Width over thickness determines how wide the plastic will be when extruded +// onto the object that is being printed. width_over_thickness is multiplied +// by the layer_height to calculate this width. i.e. If your layer_height is +// set to 0.3 mm and your width_over_thickness is set to 2.2, the resulting +// width will be 0.66 mm. width_over_thickness = 2.2; + // Select your belt type ****************************************************** -//T2.5 +// T2.5 belt_tooth_distance = 2.5; belt_tooth_ratio = 0.75; -//T5 (strongly discouraged) -//belt_tooth_distance = 5; -//belt_tooth_ratio = 0.75; +// T5 (strongly discouraged) +// belt_tooth_distance = 5; +// belt_tooth_ratio = 0.75; -//HTD3 -//belt_tooth_distance = 3; -//belt_tooth_ratio = 0.75; +// HTD3 +// belt_tooth_distance = 3; +// belt_tooth_ratio = 0.75; -//MXL -//belt_tooth_distance = 2.032; -//belt_tooth_ratio = 0.64; +// MXL +// belt_tooth_distance = 2.032; +// belt_tooth_ratio = 0.64; -//GT2 there is bunch of GT2 belts with different tooth-to-tooth distance -//adjust to your needs -//belt_tooth_distance = 2; -//belt_tooth_ratio = 0.5; +// GT2 there is bunch of GT2 belts with different tooth-to-tooth distance +// adjust to your needs +// belt_tooth_distance = 2; +// belt_tooth_ratio = 0.5; // For T type belts you will probably want 0.8mm or so. belt_thickness = 1.75; + // Choose bearing/bushing configuration *************************************** // conf_b_* are in inc/conf_bushing.scad @@ -49,12 +61,15 @@ bushing_z = conf_b_lm8uu; // by default use same as xy bushing_carriage = bushing_xy; + // Select idler bearing size ************************************************** // [outer_diameter, width, inner_diameter, uses_guide] + // 608 [standard skate bearings] with bearing guide bearing_608 = [22, 7, 8, 1]; -//608 bearings with fender washers.
