Hop is a script to raise the extruder when it is not extruding.

The hop manual page is at:
http://www.bitsfrombytes.com/wiki/index.php?title=Skeinforge_Hop


Operation
Settings
  Hop Over Layer Thickness
  Minimum Hop Angle
Examples

Operation


The default 'Activate Hop' checkbox is off. It is off because Vik and Nophead found better results without hopping. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

Settings


Hop Over Layer Thickness

Default is one.

Defines the ratio of the hop height over the layer thickness, this is the most important hop setting.

Minimum Hop Angle

Default is 20 degrees.

Defines the minimum angle that the path of the extruder will be raised. An angle of ninety means that the extruder will go straight up as soon as it is not extruding and a low angle means the extruder path will gradually rise to the hop height.

Examples


The following examples hop the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and hop.py.


> python hop.py
This brings up the hop dialog.


> python hop.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
