I've seen more and more people starting to use teacup and they really have no where to start. I had been successfully using SF39 with teacup for a few weeks until one of my Pololu drivers decided to release the magic smoke. I was planning on writing this up after more calibration, but that may be a while.

Skeinforge 39 Settings
When I refer to default skeinforge settings I mean the settings that make the boxes return to a grey background, not yellow or teal.
Section | Necessity | Current settings in my profiles |
Bottom | required | Default skeinforge settings. |
Carve | n/a | Infill in direction of bridge enabled and all settings to default. |
Chamber | not required | Not enabled because I don't have a heated bed. |
Clip | required | Clip over perimater width (ratio) set to 0.35 Others set to default. |
Comb | required | Enabled because it makes for cleaner builds. |
Cool | not required | Not enabled because my extruder oozes to much during cooling (needed for printing small stuff). |
Dimension | required | Enabled and set to "relative extrusion distance" experiment with the setting to work with your extruder. |
Export | required | Activate Export checked Do not change output File extension = gcode Rest are blank. |
Fill | n/a | Default skeinforge values Activate for filled Deactivate for shell only Set Infill solidity ratio to zero for hollow |
Fillet | not required | Enabled Set to Bevel Corner feed ratio of 1.5 Fillet radius of 0.7 Used to deal with blobby corners but they could be dealt with in other ways. |
Home | not required | I don't use homing. |
Hop | not required | Not enabled because it makes the builds take a long time due to lots of Z movements. |
Inset | not required | No check boxes enabled Bridge width 1.0 Loop order ascending area Overlap removal width 0.5 |
Jitter | not required | Enabled and set to 2.0 |
Lash | not required | Not enabled |
Limit | not required | Not enabled and both set to 0 |
Multiply | not required | Not enabled |
Oozbane | not required | Not enabled (use teacups E_startstop_steps) |
Outline | not required | Not enabled (I have a start.gcode that includes an outline purge which is not included so this may be a good idea). |
Preface | not required | Enabled but the start and end gcode files are empty. All check boxes are unchecked except "set to mm". |
Raft | required | Enabled because it is required by temperature (DO NOT TURN THIS OFF) I have it set to produce no raft but it must still be enabled. |
Reversal | not required | Not enabled |
Scale | not required | Not enabled |
Speed | required | Enabled both speed and flow rate. Bridge feed rate 1.2 Bridge flow rate 1.0 Duty cycle both set to 0 Feed rate 65 Flow rate 67.5 Orbital feed rate 0.5 Perimeter feed rate 0.7 Perimeter flow rate 0.8 Travel feed rate 200.0. |
Splodge | not required | Not enabled |
Stretch | not required | Enabled Loop stretch over perimeter width ratio 0.1 All other settings set to default |
Temperature | required | Enabled and possibly set a little to high for PLA due to the thermistor location on my hotend. |
Tower | not required | Not enabled |
Unpause | not required | Not enabled |
Widen | not required | Not enabled |
Wipe | not required | Not enabled |
