Hi,

 

I have a silly question...

 

I have an i3 Mega S with the latest Marlin/Knutwurst firmware with Linear Advance enabled.

 

Do I understand correctly that with the Linear Advance plugin I no longer need a fixed setting in the printer settings (M900 K0.X), but that Cura takes over as soon as I activate Linear Advance and enter a value >0 for each of the different line types?

 

Best regards
Michael

    That's how it is supposed to work, yes.

     

    I am the creator of the Linear Advance plugin, but I don't have a 3d printer capable of linear advance myself, so I don't know how well it actually works. If it doesn't, see https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin/issues

    Hi "ahoeben",

     

    thanks for your promt reply...

     

    For testing I must erase the M900 command from the setting I already set with Pronterface by the input "M900 K.0.65" - "send" - M503

     

    It's now listet as "echo: M900 K0.65"

     

    Do you (or anyone else) know if there is any instruction to delete this line with the terminal tool of Pronterface?

    Or can I leave it there and Cura will override the value?

     

    Regards

    Michael

    I don't know enough about Proterface to properly answer that. But I though that Pronterface just sends the gcode file you select to the printer. So if you see it sending an M900 gcode command, then surely that would come from the gcode file?

    Thanks!

     

    now I tested it...

    I saved a G-code for a part at a SD-card and opend the file in Wordpad.

     

    In the G-Gode I can see these 3 lines:

     

    ;LAYER_COUNT:100
    M900 K0.650000 T0 ;added by LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin

    .

    .

    ;TYPE:SKIRT
    M900 K0.000000 T0 ;added by LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin

    .

    .

    ;TYPE:WALL-INNER
    M900 K0.650000 T0 ;added by LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin

     

     

    I hope the Cura G-Code will overwrite the firmware settings I had done in terminal section. 😉

     

    regards

    Michael
