- Some filaments contract too much and to prevent this you have to print the object in a temperature regulated chamber or on a temperature regulated bed. The chamber tool allows you to control the bed and chamber temperature and the holding pressure. The gcodes are also described at:
- http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_User_Manual:_RepRapGCodes
- The chamber manual page is at:
- http://www.bitsfrombytes.com/wiki/index.php?title=Skeinforge_Chamber
- ==Operation==
- The default 'Activate Chamber' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
- ==Settings==
- ===Bed Temperature===
- Default is 60C.
- Defines the print_bed temperature in Celcius by adding an M140 command.
- ===Chamber Temperature===
- Default is 30C.
- Defines the chamber temperature in Celcius by adding an M141 command.
- ===Holding Force===
- Default is zero.
- Defines the holding pressure of a mechanism, like a vacuum table or electromagnet, to hold the bed surface or object, by adding an M142 command. The holding pressure is in bar. For hardware which only has on/off holding, when the holding pressure is zero, turn off holding, when the holding pressure is greater than zero, turn on holding.

- ==Examples==
- The following examples chamber the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and chamber.py.
- > python chamber.py
- This brings up the chamber dialog.
- > python chamber.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
- The chamber tool is parsing the file:
- Screw Holder Bottom.stl

- The chamber tool has created the file:
- Screw Holder Bottom_chamber.gcode
