G0 code

[webers]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to change parameters so Siplify3D generates G code using G0 for non printing moves?
At the moment it uses G1 with Extuder value 0 but I need that it uses G0.



Thanks.

I see the only solution to implement the required code manually.
GCode is readable e.g. with notepad++ or each other text editor.

If it would be one place then it is possible,but for big parts the code is too long to find all places with non printing moves.

I have tried other software and most of them use G0 but I like the Simplify3D better.

You could do this with a single regex command. Just replace G1 with G0 for any line that does not contain an "E".

Then you can run that script or command using the post-processing options in S3D

I would love this option too. I have some old printers not yet upgraded to smoothieware that do a different type of move for G0 and G1. not a super important feature but would imo make s3d much more versatile (especially for printers running with emc or similar systems)

[webers]

I don't have any experience with regex.
Does the S3D can use the same commands in post processing?

@ webers

Why is the Travelspeed not sufficient? What's your goal?

@ brian442
You mean a negative look-ahead assertion, but how is a complete line to exclude, when "G1" & "E" is true ?

I have printer with firmware which uses G1 as activation for extruder so I need the G code which uses G0 for non printing moves.

Do you have some samples for Regex script?
I started to look in internet and found example
Is it possible to use something like this to find line which contains G1 but doesn't contain E ? How to replace G1 to G0 ?
-^.*\b(G1|?!E).*$

Sorry, I don't understand this. G1 is always the definited movement of the print head to a certain position AND allows extrusion with the parameter "E" ... mm or even no extrusion when "E" stays empty. What do you need more?
G1 Axis [X/Y/Z/E] Position Feed [F] Controlled Movement G1 F150 X10 in this example it is going to X 10 ( Y = 0 ) where ever it starts.
This movement - without the parameter "E" is only used for positioning the print head to begin the extrusion or changing place of extrusion. The next step is the G1 order with "E" parameter for the planed extrusion.
I would say, you cannot use it to reach your goal with a transformation of G1 to G0.

At the moment I have tested a very complex thing with 2.500.000 g-code lines and there is no one line with G0

Mattercontrol and Cura uses G0 for non-printing moves S3D uses G1 all the time.

G-code with G0 works with this firmware otherwise printing doesn't stop.

I can open G code in notepad ++ and change G1 to G0 in lines without E value like this:

\bG1(?!.*?E\B)
Replace with G0

It would be nice if I can find way to add this in post processing script.

I tried this, but it doesn't work:
{REPLACE "\bG1(?!.*?E\B)" "G0"}
