Hi guys

New to the forum and to 3D printing in general.

Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you, as well as share any experience i might have.

Thank you

Re: Greetings

All good, thanks guys.

Yes i do own one, Da Vinci Jr.

Was on a huge special so kind of an impulse buy, now im fidgeting with it to make it work properly. But so far im looking at buying a new controller and use that instead of messing around with XYZ's bs board with its chipped filament requirements and crappy slicer software.

And i need to learn gcode asap.

But other than that im quite looking forward to getting into 3D printing and actually prototyping some of my designs/ideas i have. So far its a lot of fun.

Looking forward to pick your brains in the near future.

Re: Greetings

Thee davinci can be a capable machine
lot of folks here have upgraded the board

There is  a reprap g code cheat sheet on Thiniverse  and a couple other places will give you most of what you need to know about g code . M codes are handy for  troubleshooting and tweaking at times
An Welcome!!

Re: Greetings

hello, Zillard smile

Here is a link to the RepRap Wiki page for G-code (also includes M-codes). I refer to it frequently to verify specific codes - great resource to have handy.

Good luck with your DaVinci upgrades.

Re: Greetings

Cool, thanks H.

that is quite a list of codes, but seems fairly straight forward.

So to lift the print head in the beginning of the print, should i look at anything that has to do with z offset? if you dont mind me asking? Although i only see codes involving a probe, not sure if that would be it.

Re: Greetings

Oh wait, G1 Znnn might be it?

or am i totally in the wrong parameter section???

Re: Greetings

sorry, I dont use Z lift, or any other "extra" codes, so I have no clue.
My start g-code is very simple. hmm

Hopefully someone else can answer that question for you.

Re: Greetings

G 0 is a rapid move

G1 is a normal move so not Z offset.

Z offset can easily be set in slicer via the advanced setting  menu but that may not help you.

Re: Greetings

Thanks Tin.

Thought the Znnn would indicate move the Z axis by whatever is specified. tested it, but it did not do what i was hoping.

Ill research some more, and maybe post a new topic should i still need to.
