    Cura for Flashforge Creator 3

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    M118 {X Y Z} (max size of the printed area with object and e.g. a wall) {T0} {T1} {D1/D2}
    T0 T1 sets dual extrution
    T0 or T1 sets single extrution
    D1 sets mirror mode
    D2 sets duplicate mode
    In these two modes, the print bed origin shifts to 66.5x125, resulting in a print bed size of 133x250 mm.

    M118 T0; to my knowledge is Right

    M107; Yes

    M106 S{cool_fan_speed} ; set cooling fan speed >>>>>>>> should be "cooling_fan_speed_layer_0;

    if you like. I,m not sure that i works, but try.

    G1 G91 E-3 F500; do you mean that the machine dont accept G1 and G91 on the same line?

    G162 Z F1800 ; Bed drops down

    G91/G90; Yes

    This is my way of getting dual extrusion working on the Creator 3 with Cura.
    Printing with "material_print_temperature" and resting with "material_standby_temperature"
    G-code flavor = Marlin (according to flashforge)
    https://en.fss.flashforge.com/10000/software/a42243ba68cb81dc8afd7b7fb3e71dcf.pdf

    As I understands it, Creator 3 wants temp commands as M104 Sxxx Tx.
    Cura want to do them like M104 Tx Sxx, and some times with M109. (at least with Marlin)
    Creator 3 don't like the M109 command, if I remember right my extruders collided.

    So my start/stop G-code has ! instead of M.
    After slicing I use a text editor to change all
    M104, M105, M106, M107, M109 to ;M104, ;M105, ;M106, ;M107, ;M109
    That way I get rid of all non wanted commands.
    Then I replace all ! with M, that way my start/stop commands work.
    Finally I replace all ;M104 T{x} S{my material print temp} for both extruder to M104 S{my material print temp} T{x}.
    That way I have "preheat" for the tool change.

    For someone with coding skill I guess that it is possible to make a postprocessing script for this.
    But I don't have that kind of skills.

    I have read and reused code and ides from previous work, done by.

    I don't think M6 and M7 do anything.
    My guess is that Cura makes the initial warm up work.
    And I'm not sure the fan handling is correct, or even matters. All M106 commands are after the tool change.

    Files named .gcode. To be accepted as attachment.

     

    What I have found about the Creator 3.

     

    G-code flavor = Marlin according to Flashforge

    M118 {X Y Z} (max size of the printed area with object and e.g. a wall) {T0} {T1} {D1/D2}
    T0 T1 sets dual extrusion
    T0 or T1 sets single extrusion
    D1 sets mirror mode
    D2 sets duplicate mode
    In these two modes, the print bed origin shifts to 66.5x125, resulting in a print bed size of 133x250 mm.

    M108 Tx ; tool change

    M140 Sxx T0 ; set bed temperature
    M104 Sxxx T0 ; set extruder 1 temperature (must be Sxx Tx, the opposite way don't work)
    M104 Sxxx T1 ; set extruder 2 temperature (must be Sxx Tx, the opposite way don't work)

    M7 T0 {Sx} ; wait for bed temp
    M6 Tx {Sx} ; wait for extruder temp

    M106 Sxxx ; set cooling fan speed
    M107 ; cooling fan off

    M651 ; chassis fan on
    M652 ; chassis fan off

    G162 {X Y Z} ; home (G28?)

    M17 ; enable steppers
    M18 ; disable steppers

    G4 {Sxx} {Pxx} ; dwell S for seconds P for milliseconds

    G90 ; absolute
    G91 ; relative
    G92 ; set position

    M105 ; get extruder and bed temp
    M114 ; get current position
    M115 ; get machine info
    M119 ; get machine status

    M112 ; emergency stop (not tested)
    M132 ; load current home position from EEPROM (not tested)
    M907 ; set digital potentiometer value (not tested)
