Note

Since skeinforge is a big part of the RepRap toolchain for a lot of people we may want to maintain a local mirror of it, along with incorporating all the tutorials. --Sebastien Bailard 18:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Troubleshooting Tips

Extruder not moving
You need the dimensions module loaded to generate E codes, which drive the extruder.
Heater not heating when raft module disabled
The raft module also controls preheating. To stop printing rafts, simply set the layer-counts in the raft module to 0, rather than disabling it.
Volume-based extrusion
Skeinforge 040 made some drastic changes to the dimension module (for the better). Check here for help setting it up.
