I know that I can script nozzle positions using [current_X_position], [current_Y_position] and [current_Z_position], but is there a way of scripting those values to set a new position? For example, if [current_X_position] returned 50 and I wanted to change the position to [current_X_position] + 75, ...
This problem is resolved. Caused by questionable firmware which for unknown reason stopped feeding filament after a set period. Replaced the firmware and the problem went away.
I have a new printer, an Eryone Thinker S. It has been working well, but in recent days the flow of filament stops part way thru a print - it's as though an M18 E has been issued. This seems to be repeatable, the flow stops part way thru the first layer in the same place. Issuing an M17 E doesn't re...
I have an Anycubic I3 Mega which I am adding an IR sensor to in order to calibrate the height of the Z axis. All working well, however the Z home position is 2.5mm above the bed, so I need to lower the Z axis by 2.5mm. Reading up on this subject provides details for using the G92 and M851 gcode. I h...
You may find the following to be of use: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1712198 These plates provide holes in increasing diameter between 3mm and 25mm. When designing parts which need to accomodate bolts/screws and other physical objects you can easily find what size hole you need in the new desi...
During the startup script I like to purge material by issuing a G1 E25 F300 instruction. However more often than not when S3D executes that command the extruder unloades filament and I end up with several 10's of mm filament missing. Frequently this follows a previous print where the purge operation...
I am trying to get my FLSUN QQ printer working with S3D. It's communicating okay, but after a few 10's of seconds it stops moving, showing the following in the message window: READ: echo:busy: paused for user busy: paused for user It doesn't stop moving on each of these messages, but it does eventua...
When I hit the big red button on the printer control panel it does what is necessary and causes my CR-10 to reboot. Perfect. However after that reboot the start script for any following print causes the filament purge (G1 E25 F300) to go in the wrong direction - it sucks rather than pushes filament....
I just discovered that I can change the feed rate by twiddling the knob on the printers control panel. This resolves ther issue when I'm watching the printer, however swhould I be scripting this in the configuration?
