Ultimaker gcode format for 2d Pen Plotting

[Moe1003 2]

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!

Just take the comment section at the head of any UM3 print job and paste it at the top of your gcode file.

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

I was wondering what the fix would be as your original Gcode file worked fine on my Ender.

Yes that's the thing as with UM 3 there came this new need for a Header and Footer being necessary in the gcode... Described in the Link above from gr5
