How Do I run Creamcheese? Get ReplicatorG 0029 R2 (MUST BE THIS VERSION NOT NEWER!) - Google Code Listing Get the Creamcheese config files from here: Tyler's repository of cool stuff! Put the 5D Creamcheese Cupcake.xml file in your replicatorg machines directory Put the SF40-Cupcake-3mm-.35 folder in your sf_40_profiles folder. On linux this is in a hidden home folder directory (ex: /home/worman/.replicatorg/sf_40_profiles Start up replicatorg and pick machine type of Creamcheese Cupcake 3G 5D (RPM) In Replicatorg: GCode->GCode Generator pick Skeinforge 40 (Experimental) Use the following settings when you generate GCode... Base Profile: SF40-Cupcake-3mm-.35 (if you put the config in the right place this will show up). Raft: Your choice, on or off. Support Material: Your choice, on or off Use Print-O-Matic: YES! POM-Settings-Object Infill: 30% (Less and you get a hollower object, more and it is more solid.) POM-Settings-Layer Height (mm): 0.25 (Smaller and bot moves faster stretching the plastic, larger and it will tell you can it can't print thick layers because of nozzle size) POM-Settings-Number of shells: 2 (How many solid outer layers you get) POM-Settings-Feedrate (mm/s): 35 (Slower and prints take longer, faster and steppers can't keep up or jitter throws off your X and Y, feel free to experiment, tested with 35!) POM-Plastic-Material type: ABS POM-Plastic-Filament Diameter (mm): 2.94 (This should be an average thickness of the filament you feed in. It does vary by color and over lengths of filament. You might want to play with this when changing colors. Measure every 6 inches to a foot and average..) POM-Extruder-Nozzle Diameter(mm) - .35 POM-Extruder-Drive Gear Diameter(mm) - 10.58
