Profile for Taz 6 v3 extruder

[Aha]

This is a similar post to a subthread. I'd like a Taz 6 v3 print head profile! I started this based on someone else's Taz 5 v3 print head fff file and that post. Anyone that could help me modify this to work would be greatly appreciated. The following bugs definitely need working out, with a few more that will probably come from solving these bugs!

WARNING, it's still NOT complete!

I need some expert help and tuning on it, here are the major errors (aside from the minor ones like oozing):
1. The start gcode improperly dodges the first probe head that is sticking up now because of the addition when installing the v3. Because of this, the tool heads CRASH and GRIND on it at the start of print. I tried adding some lift and dodge code that didn't fix it.
2. The tool heads CRASH and GRIND on the print bed. Z offset is wrong. I finally got it tuned to work in cura and the firmware (now -1.550 vs the original -1.2 and they suggest -1.2 to -1.4, though that could be different per machine I suppose), but S3D doesn't work right with it, not sure why! I was going to just start figuring it out using z offset on the global offset settings in s3d, starting with z offset at +2 and working backwards, but haven't yet.

Note that you need to set your own offsets in the machine control panel. This is left extruder at -6.5 y and right extruder at + 6.5 y. Because of the crashing and grinding I haven't seen if there are any adjustments to that needed (hopefully not, as that might mean I slightly broke my heads)


Minor things needing fixing:
-The start gcode taken from lulzbot cura changes the original retraction of a crazy 45 mm to less - but the retraction and priming needs to be better.
-s3d takes all of the stay hot, warm, etc temps to mean that the temp should be put to full, so the probe temps now jump to 200 (my full on temp atm) and it oozes while probing. A bunch of tiny details could be taken from the official Taz profiles and probably set probing and other temps (interesting that the cura profiles look more to 140, whereas the s3d sets it to 170 and I get some oozing that way).

Any help would be helpful, even if it's to take this profile and build a better one from it, I'd be happy! I'm hating needing to use cura and want to get back to s3d ASAP!!!!!

I'm printing a two color 3DBenchy on my TAZ 6 with the Dual V3 toolhead. At the top of the Cura Dual V3 start code I added:

Code: Select all

M218 T0 X0 Y0 ; Simplify3D requires tool offsets in firmware
M218 T1 X0 Y0 ; offset for front extruder (set at end)

and at the end of the Cura Dual V3 start code I added:

Code: Select all

M218 T0 X0 Y0 ; Simplify3D requires tool offsets in firmware
M218 T1 X13.0 Y0.0 ; offset for front extruder

The complete start gcode I'm using (still needs a few more temperature [variables]):

While slightly off topic, if anyone knows what to use for Cura's {material_soften_temperature_0}, {material_soften_temperature_1}, {material_wipe_temperature_0}, {material_wipe_temperature_1}, {material_probe_temperature_0}, and {material_bed_temperature_layer_0} I'd be happy to fix the constant 170 temps in the above start gcode.
