`
Lash is a script to partially compensate for the backlash of the tool head.
The lash manual page is at:
http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge_Lash
The lash tool is ported from Erik de Bruijn's 3D-to-5D-Gcode php GPL'd script at:
http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/3D-to-5D-Gcode.php
The default values are from the settings in Erik's 3D-to-5D-Gcode, I believe the settings are used on his Darwin reprap.

### Y Backlash

The following examples lash the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and lash.py.
