3D model description

I am mostly uploading the gcode here as a quick backup. Anyways, the gcode was made for the MK3 on Slic3r. The PLA temp tower ranges from 200 to 220 with a 5 degree between.
I might add a PETG later.

It should be noted that I will update these files as I see fit

The PLA gcode takes about 2.5 hours to complete.


NOTE: It should be noted that I have my printer play a note at the very start and end of the print. When it plays a note at the very start, it is letting you know the heating is done and it's about to do the mesh level. I use this to help clean the nozzle area if needed. The end obviously is some audio telling me the print is done. If you want this on your prints do the following.

In Slic3r go to "Printer Settings. Then go to "Custom G-code". Add the following for the start. (You can edit the sound BTW)

; gcode start sound
M300 S440 P500
M300 S880 P500
M300 S440 P500

(I have a complete copy and paste of the entire thing below)

To get the sound at the end do the following in the "End G-code". (I put this at the very last part)

; gcode end sound
M300 S440 P1500
M300 S587 P1500
M300 S440 P1500
M300 S587 P1500

The following is a complete copy and paste of the start.

M115 U3.4.1 ; tell printer latest fw version
M83 ; extruder relative mode
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set extruder temp
M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp
M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for extruder temp
; gcode start sound
M300 S440 P500
M300 S880 P500
M300 S440 P500
G28 W ; home all without mesh bed level
G80 ; mesh bed leveling
G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside print area
G92 E0.0
G1 X60.0 E9.0 F1000.0 ; intro line
G1 X100.0 E12.5 F1000.0 ; intro line
G92 E0.0
M221 S{if layer_height==0.05}100{else}95{endif}


HOW DID I EDIT THIS

On the Slic3r I just looked at where a given layer started under preview. On the G-Code I did a find for ;(layer). So say if the change should happened at layer 7. I would do a find for ;7

Where the change happens I added

M104 S220 ; set temperature

The M104 command tells the printer to keep printing while the temp changes. Since we aren't dealing with some real swings in temp, I think this is more than OK.
