I have a Replicator 2X that I have recently moved over to the world of Cura.
After reading many of the threads here and abroad, I put together a start GCode script for a two extruder printer
I was able to create the configuration file so that it could be pulled up in Cura just like any other printer.
However, I am having a challenge with the start script (and probably the extruder script)
My start script is below:
; **** Replicator 2X start.gcode ****
M73 P0 ; enable build progress
G162 X Y F3000 ; home XY maximum
G161 Z F1200 ; home Z minimum
G92 X0 Y0 Z-5 A0 B0 ; set Z to -5
G1 Z0 ; move Z to 0
G161 Z F100 ; home Z slowly
M132 X Y Z A B ; recall home offsets
M135 T0 ; load right extruder offsets
G1 X-130 Y-75 Z30 F9000 ; move to wait position off table
G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 ; lower stepper Vrefs while heating
;M126 S[fan_speed_pwm]
M140 S{material_bed_temperature, 0} T0
M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature
M104 S{material_print_temperature, 0} T0
M104 S{material_print_temperature, 1} T1
M133 T0 ; stabilize extruder temperature
M133 T1 ; stabilize extruder temperature
G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; default stepper Vrefs
G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
G1 Z0.4 ; position nozzle
G1 E25 F300 ; purge nozzle
G1 X-125 Y-70 Z0.15 F1200 ; slow wipe
G1 X-120 Y-65 Z0.5 F1200 ; lift
G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started)
; **** end of start.gcode ****
You will notice that both extruders are heated.
I would like to be able to load a different material in each extruder and then chose at build time which material to extrude.
How do I write the code so that only the active extruder is heated if its a single extruder build, or both extruders are heated if its a dual extruder build?
Similarly, what does the code look like for each extruder?
Presently I have:
; - Start Extruder 0 Start G Code
;Switch to Extruder 0
T0
; - End Extruder 0 Start G Code -
; - Start Extruder 1 Start G Code
;Switch to Extruder 1
T1
; - End Extruder 1 Start G Code -
But I have no Extruder End G Code
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
