@dc42 : maybe update the wiki to reflect the fact that quotes are allowed for M98?
-
OK, will try your suggestions. I guess my error will be with Case.
I am sure i have no space after .gBTW, i think i have pinpointed my leveling issue.
I have printed holders for Z motors and my right motor was getting hotter than left one to the point it melted plastic. I have ordered longer motors and some 50x50x5 aluminium angle to fabricate some brackets.
I think it was just turning motor slightly so compensation was canceling out on melted saggy plastic.
Wow, that took me some time to notice. -
@whosrdaddy In addition to knowing quotes are allowed it would be nice to know when they are required.
Maybe I'm old school, but I always contain paths and strings in quotation marks. Especially if there is white space in it.
-
@phaedrux It would be good to have these notes. A lot of useres are beginners as myself and are not familiar with machine code and finding a refference and solution might be overwhelming sometimes.
-
It doesn't explicitly say where they can be used but there is a section covering quoted strings - https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/GCode#Section_Quoted_strings
-
@tjb1 good find. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Thanks.
-
Recent versions of RepRapFirmware allow quoted strings to be used anywhere that a string parameter is expected. Some commands (e.g. M587) require the quotes. In older commands (e.g. M32) they are optional, for compatibility with slicers.
-
I changed the text in Quoted Strings and added a note to M98 to reflect this.
-
So i have pinpointed what was missing. Basically i have assumed that macro files are created as *.g but in fact they have none.
I have machined quick angle brackets to replace plastic ones and so far it look good so most probbable cause was melted holder for uneven first layer. -
@agniusm yeah macros can have no extension, or an arbitrary extension.
-
@agniusm It can be handy to give them an extension if you ever intend to edit them on a computer. That way you can associate the extension with your text editor.
-
Small details you need to be aware of. Good that i have got it sorted as new set of my parts will be loaded soon and i dont want to go over slicing again
I will check my parts tomorrow and if bottom layer is good, next thing to sort will be tool offset probe. After that, i am golden, can sink into a couch with couple pints and good old school sci-fi.
Cheers guys -

@phaedrux, not much to elaborate, Aliens, Star Wars, Star trek, Dune etc
I have finished my 24h run of parts and bottom is smooth like baby's bottom. Same run to confirm Z brackets was my issue.

Is it possible to set fan speed on thermostatically controlled fan? I have got powerfull delta fan for hotend incase i need to have it in the box printing high temp pei or peek. Its enough to run it at 40% so can i add parameter S150 to my M106 in config.g for tool fan?

Yes you can use the M106 S parameter to do that, with a minimum PWM of 0.5.

Tkank you, works great

Is there a gcode to repeat a print? i will be experimenting with conveyor type print remooval and was wandering if there is a gcode to support reprints or is there slicer support for this?
-
@agniusm The DWC has a Print Another button, but I'm not sure if that triggers a gcode or just passes a new file print command using the already loaded gcode filename.
I guess you could create a larger macro that just had repeated M32 commands.

I have support for conditional and looping GCode planned, which would facilitate repeated prints..
