UPDATE 02/14/2019 -------------------------- Mauswerkz fixes code error to correct Z axis skew compensation, uploads fixed file with date stamp of 02/14/2019 in files section. UPDATE 11/28/2018 -------------------------- User m013 discovers typo in script, thanks for pointing it out; uploaded fixed script today. UPDATE 8/15/2018 -------------------------- Hand drawn diagram added to display measurements required for skew compensation script; only tangent or err and len needed for each side (XY, YZ, or ZX). MS Excel spreadsheet uploaded to record skew measurements from YACS prints, automatically calculates tangents based on diagonal measurements. -------------------------- Cura Post Processing Script for Skew Compensation: Based on gskewer python script https://github.com/MechanizedMedic/gskewer Print YACS model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563185) to obtain skew measurements required. See PDF in files area for instructions on calculating err/length/tangent values needed. Download python script, place it in Cura scripts folder, restart Cura and the Post Processing script should appear in the list. Print 40mm cube to verify skew compensation is working correctly. Use gcode visualizer (http://gcode.ws/) to view corrected gcode; should print properly on your printer.
