Some filaments contract too much and warp the extruded object. To prevent this you have to print the object in a temperature regulated chamber and/or on a temperature regulated bed. The chamber tool allows you to control the bed and chamber temperature and the holding pressure. The chamber gcodes are also described at: http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_User_Manual:_RepRapGCodes The chamber manual page is at: http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge_Chamber Operation Settings Bed Bed Temperature Bed Temperature Begin Change Height Bed Temperature End Change Height Bed Temperature End Chamber Temperature Holding Force Heated Beds Bothacker Domingo Jmil Metalab Nophead Prusajr Zaggo Examples

`Operation`

The default 'Activate Chamber' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, nothing will be done. Settings Bed The initial bed temperature is defined by 'Bed Temperature'. If the 'Bed Temperature End Change Height' is greater or equal to the 'Bed Temperature Begin Change Height' and the 'Bed Temperature Begin Change Height' is greater or equal to zero, then the temperature will be ramped toward the 'Bed Temperature End'. The ramp will start once the extruder reaches the 'Bed Temperature Begin Change Height', then the bed temperature will approach the 'Bed Temperature End' as the extruder reaches the 'Bed Temperature End Change Height', finally the bed temperature will stay at the 'Bed Temperature End' for the remainder of the build. The idea is described at: http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2011/03/17/if-you-cant-stand-the-heat/ Bed Temperature Default: 60C Defines the initial print bed temperature in Celcius by adding an M140 command. Bed Temperature Begin Change Height Default: -1 mm Defines the height of the beginning of the temperature ramp. If the 'Bed Temperature End Change Height' is less than zero, the bed temperature will remain at the initial 'Bed Temperature'. Bed Temperature End Change Height Default: -1 mm Defines the height of the end of the temperature ramp. If the 'Bed Temperature End Change Height' is less than zero or less than the 'Bed Temperature Begin Change Height', the bed temperature will remain at the initial 'Bed Temperature'. Bed Temperature End Default: 20C Defines the end bed temperature if there is a temperature ramp. Chamber Temperature Default: 30C Defines the chamber temperature in Celcius by adding an M141 command. Holding Force Default: 0 Defines the holding pressure of a mechanism, like a vacuum table or electromagnet, to hold the bed surface or object, by adding an M142 command. The holding pressure is in bars. For hardware which only has on/off holding, when the holding pressure is zero, turn off holding, when the holding pressure is greater than zero, turn on holding.

The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and chamber.py. > python chamber.py This brings up the chamber dialog. > python chamber.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl The chamber tool is parsing the file: Screw Holder Bottom.stl .. The chamber tool has created the file: Screw Holder Bottom_chamber.gcode
