Re: [MakerBot] Re: Skeinfox
Jordan Miller
If you do change the name SkeinFox will be unable to find it and will recreate a new ~/.skeinforge directory with a new set of templates. For MakerBot we don't even use the latest version of skeinforge on Enrique's site, so I'm hesitant to provide a custom location for the .skeinforge directory that may not be forward compatible.
If you dig into this, let me know what you find out! All the sources are up on github: http://www.github.com/jmil/SkeinFox/

But to actually have a raft you set the "Base Layers (integer):" and "Interface Layers (integer):" to a non-zero value (such as 1).

Once you have the default templates, follow along with the video to see examples of generating .gcode files with and without a Raft:
