Re: Nozzle hitting clips on start of print

Again, my start script runs perfect in S3D. It is what happens after the script runs that I am trying to fix

Re: Nozzle hitting clips on start of print

Then, edit/change the code - Gcode is simply a text file and there is no particular order of what comes first, second third...

X Y Z or Y X Z or Z X Y.... get it? You can tell it to do what you want it to do. And, 'Yes' you can combine several G command on one line...

Hence, my very first post: It's up to you to know/decide what you want to do... (where to go and when to go there...)

I recommend playing around with it. As an 'aid', simply create a clean text file with the commands - you do not need all the other stuff for a simple test.

Use the Gcode Preview in Simplify to load and preview your test's. The machine will not run it until you tell it to print but, you can turn off the machine as a safety approach.

I'm not seeing anything in Simply code you posted that clues me in ... perhaps others can contribute..

Re: Nozzle hitting clips on start of print

I know how to edit the code. What I am looking for is the ability to not have to go in and edit the code to stop z from moving then x and y the problem is ....if you actually read the gcode that z movement is on a line of it's own first then x and y on the next line meaning that before all things z will fully move into position then after z has reached position the next line moves x and y. I know I can edit this and put all 3 axis on one line. What i am saying is that with a $150 paycheck I should not have to go in and edit the gcode after Simplify3d has sliced it!

Re: Nozzle hitting clips on start of print

Ok, I guess my bad. I'll blame it in the meds. I see what you have been saying all along. Just add a line to my start script G1 X20 Y20 Z10 F9000.

In my mind Simplify3d wAs giving a home command after my start script. Even after I saw it in my editor just giving it a z position. Just didn't sink in at the moment.

Re: Nozzle hitting clips on start of print

Yup just added as the last line in the start script G1 X20 Y20 Z10 F9000. Ran it and it worked great.
