Another Idea for Skeinforge...

Cool:

Minimum Layer Time...  isn't very useful.  It slows everything down unnecessarily... or doesn't slow it down enough.

What is REALLY needed is a time to cool parameter for the material, and a cooling temp to achieve before printing over the same spot.

In other words, imagine if you lay down the plastic, at 185° C, and as soon as you lay it down it begins to cool... it shouldn't be exceedingly difficult to map the estimated temperature across the surface area, and then give the start position for the next layer priority to print on the opposite side.

alternatively, how about just adding a setting to the "fill" plug to flip-flop the start at from lower left only, to alternate lower left, upper right.

anyway... just a few thoughts.
