Today i've been printing some more materials, i've tested out the glow from PrimaSelect, finishings are so good.
I've also been printing Carbon fiber from ICE with excelent results, but i had to make some configurations to get good prints. I had to raise z-axis 0.45 mm to enable the printer to right print the Carbon. Also i've inyected temperature to my XYZ 3w files.
I've been using threedub for this.
Jr + Cura 2.3.0 + ThreeDub

2. Install HomeBrew on your Mac
3. brew install python
4. pip install --upgrade pip
5. pip install pycrypto
6. pip install pyserial
7. python setup.py install (from downloaded threedub directory)
I make the 3w file from xyzWare, then i convert it to gcode with threedub from terminal
threedub -f gcode source.3w target.gcode
I open the gcode with any text editor, and i mean "any". Just after the last comment line on header i add 2 lines "Comment lines are the ones preceded by ';'":
Edit -- A: Maybe they're not comment lines since changes on lines preceded by ";" are recognized by the printer. I changed that way the expected filament usage to 0.35 (less than a milimeter), and wile printing LCD shows 1 minute left and 100% completed, but the tag substracted more than 3 meters as expected. B: Temperatures can be inyected at the beginning of the file as well.
M104 S(Temperature in celsius)
M109 S(same temperature)
Example for carbon 240º:
M104 S240
M109 S240
I think that each command is for a single extruder (right & left), but i didn't tested it, i'm just adding those 2 lines to all files i modify.
Edit -- B (single extruder (right & left)): Wrong! As found on Gitlab Threedub by James, thank you for threedub James!.
James wrote:; M104 set temperature
; M109 wait for temperature to be reached
With that done, i remake the 3w from terminal, and copy it to the SD for print.
threedub source.gcode target.3w
The finishings of the Carbon are soooooo god, tomorrow i will try to upload some photos.
Beware because Carbon is much more delicate than PLA and the 2 times i've tried to unload Carbon, it brokes abobe the noozle head, and that forced me to unload filament manually, so be careful.

Thank you very much for this info .

If you are in a hurry and need your password NOW, or if it takes me too long for you, you can read the posts from 1851. I'm not going to be as effective as Bozo or Cgrillo, but you can give a try with me. If PASSWORDS thread follow it's current flow: asking for repeated passwords, not returning or false PACKS... I will end up with it as others before me.
