ReplicatorG 0019 and new extruder firmware now available
ReplicatorG 0019 is now available for your printing pleasure. This release includes:
- Unlimited undo/redo in model editing mode
- Better support for simultaneous 3-axis motion
- New skeinforge profiles for the Mk. V extruder
- New skeinforge profiles for the automated build platform
- Support for separate PID parameters for HBP
- Experimental .obj and .dae file import
There’s also two new releases of the extruder controller firmware available: one for mk4 extruder users, and one for mk5 extruders that use a relay board. Get the new ReplicatorG from the download page and give it a try!

that’s a fantastic photo. is that silver abs?

Thanks! It’s actually PLA (4042D), nicely lit by white LEDs above and red LEDs to the left. There’s actually another interesting detail about this particular print, which will be bought up in a forthcoming blog post.

Instead of distinct layers, it’s printed as a continuous spiral? Possible with the simultaneous 3-axis motion?

what version of skeinforge is included in this build? is there anything new/changed/removed/moved that we should know about?
Gian Pablo Villamil
Is there a changelog for the new firmware? Curious to see what has changed.

Rooster: yep, that’s it. It’s seamless.
Gian: it should probably have one, but it doesn’t, so I’ll run it down here:
* support for separate PID settings for the heated build platform
* support for relays (enabled in relay build). This essentially just turns off PWM on the relay ports so your relays don’t chatter or buzz.
There’s also a little experimental code for playing with stepper motors, but it’s disabled in the default builds. The H-bridges on the gen3 boards just don’t do a particularly good job of driving sufficiently powerful steppers.
