M146 r0 g0 b0 ; turn lights off for print
Hey JoeJ...I'm curious how you found out about this command. I requested the GCode protocol from Dremel, and what they sent me didn't include the M146 command. So I'm left wondering what other commands are not documented in that guide.

Re: Turns LED off when printing begins

The Dremel uses a lot of the same firmware and electronics as the FF Dreamer. So if you find commands that work on the Dreamer, it's likely they will work on the Dremel too.

Unfortunately, neither company has an extensive list of commands, so there's still some investigation and guess work involved

Re: Turns LED off when printing begins

Does anyone have a list of commands?
Would be interested in making some lighting changes also.

M146 r0 g0 b0 ; turn lights off for print

What is command for turning lights on? of changing through the printing process?

Re: Turns LED off when printing begins

To turn the lights on, just change the r/g/b values in that command to something other than 0. Each value should be somewhere between 0-255. For example, setting r/g/b to 255 each would be white color, setting r255 g0 b0 would be red, etc.
