Ultimaker gcode format for 2d Pen Plotting

Posted · Ultimaker gcode format for 2d Pen Plotting

Hello UM_Community,

I am trying to experiment with my 3d printer to make 2d drawings by adding a pen to the print head.

I generated a simple Hello World Code from Inkscape with the J Tech Plugin used for Laser cutting, which is not able to be printed on my UM3. It says Print time 0:00 and doesn't start.

Probably there needs to be a definition in the beginning of the code defining certain values. I attached the Hello World File.

Does someone know how to edit the code and definition so that the printer is able to read the printjob?

 

Also, to give a bit more context to what the idea should be, I add this video:

 

Best regards!

    It looks like all the gcodes in your file are supported - or enough that it should work.  Here you can find a list of UM3 supported gcodes:

    Thanks for your reply and your help! I figured it out.

    So it needed to be a Griffin gcode definition and previously I pasted Marlin standard definitions in it, I think thats why it was not working...

    Here is the Code for anyone trying it out
