Version 79, August 11, 2018
This is the first public release, and should be considered a “shakedown” version (i.e. alpha). I am releasing it to get feedback on issues that may crop up in the release process. Flutes from this release should perform well, but you should consider yourself an “early adopter” if you use this release — i.e. you will get experience printing Breath Flute headjoints, but you should also expect changes in the design to be released in the near term.

Clint's Slicer Settings
This section provides releases of Clint’s Slicer Settings — a package of settings for configuring the slicer software that converts 3D models in STL format to lower-level commands (e.g. G-code files) used by 3D printers or other fabrication hardware. The package is currently specific to Simplify3D slicer (S3D) version 4.0.1 and for specific printer and filament combinations. These are the profiles I have developed as part of the Breath Flute. Detailed documentation is also included in each package.
While these slicer settings were specifically designed for use with the Breath Flute project, the S3D profiles are appropriate for use as “core” profiles for general use.
Note that the package is covered by the license. These file are in the release packages of the Breath Flute Project after Version 79 (they were not ready in time for the Version 79 release, but are included in subsequent release packages).
Current Release
Fix the documentation — it was missing a few profile updates.
No change in the profiles themselves, which still carry the stamp
of 20180826.
Earlier Releases
Change name of the package to be more generic.
Change nGen fan settings for improved bed adherence — gradually raise
to 50% by layer 7 rather than jumping from 0 to 60% at layer 4.
Change nGen to random start points.
This release is now available as a stand-alone as well as being
incorporated into future releases of the Breath Flute Project itself.
