There is indeed a problem with the OSF format.
@formware, Elco, I’ve been invited to the VLare dev discord channel, I’ll pass on the details.
@Jimmygunz you can still use Formware to support and slice the supported STL in the VLare slicer. A PITA, but it works until such time as VLare sort out the issue.
BTW, OSF files generated by the VLare slicer work, so I don’t know what they’re doing differently
Hi James,
Thanks for the kind feedback.
Yeah to be honest we don’t know enough as a company of all different PCB boards in the market. So I can’t really help you further there.
When I find the time next days i’ll have a look again at the OSF format to see if i find some kind of difference in it compared to what i.e. vlare slicer is outputting. I have to do the flashforge svgx format as well… so might as well squeeze this in again.
kind regards
Elco
Hi Elco @formware
Just a quick query as to where we are with this? The VLare slicer a cumbersome beast to use, and I hate having two workflows.
Hi Frank,
I’ve emailed vlare my concerns about their file format structure and questions about how the board reads/interprets the file so I can output it correctly… but i’ve never heard back… I’ll ask them again.
Unless I know how the board reads the file it’s guessing… i wouldn’t build my production on these vlare boards if I was to pick a production machine.
kind regards
Elco
I just got 2 ‘does’ not exist replies on vlare’s email addresses… are they still active?
so no good for getting vlare to formware?
frank what is your workflow for your Vlare conversion? i never got around to the update, and wondering if i should not even attempt with the vlare and buy a chitu MB instead? thoughts?
James
I think they are not active anymore; or at least I didn’t hear about it for a long time.
Didn’t get a response on my last questions over email some months ago.
kind regards
Elco
