Editing Gcode for Automation - Ultimaker gcode for auto leveling the bed

Posted · Editing Gcode for Automation - Ultimaker gcode for auto leveling the bed

Hello, I'm working with the UM3 to print some product that we supply to many of our customers. I was editing the gcode to automate the process and have it down very well to the point that I can continuously print them. The only thing I was looking about is to add auto bed leveling to the start of the next iteration. I've read up about G29 being the usual gcode for leveling the bed, but still not sure. I would run it without leveling the bed, but it either has much less of a flow on the first layer, or the first layer isn't as clean as if you were to do one by one. I figured it was the leveling, since when I set the setting for leveling to be once a week, it gave the same results.

    There is no one GCode to bed compensation on UM3 or S-Line because the compensation to the GCode is done outside of Marlin. 

     

    On UM3 you can set the frequency to always perform a bed measurement instead of weekly, which would achieve what you want.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
