Jr + Cura 2.3.0 + ThreeDub (Page 1 of 4)

Just an update. These files works with latest Cura 2.3.1 too.

Could you make a video of how it is done? Or explain it better, I'm new to this printer

I searched for google that program but nothing appears. Apart from why do you need to modify those commands in the gcode?

Where I can download the ThreeDub app thanks a lot

Good job. I like when people find their answers on their own.

But...
Just to summarise for others on how to install ThreeDub on your Mac.

1. Download ThreeDub - https://gitlab.com/anthem/py-threedub/tree/master (thanks to forum member @Anthem for making this)
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)

And you are ready to go. Simply do threedub filename.gcode and it'll create your .3w file for Jr.

(you can obviously do this without the brew, but it's much easier and brew is quite useful for any other future adventures in CLI)

@mdmalavadomanuel - In Cura check "Initial Layer Height" setting, should be in between 0.1-0.3, depends from your machine (I use Custom with all selected view, not entirely sure if you can set that up in so called Recommended view)

If even on 0.1 still floats around then go to Manage Printers -> Machine Settings and adjust start.gcode section.
Line you are after is - G1 Z0.350 F6000.000
Adjust Z height from there. Try Z0.300 -> Z0.250 and so on... Don't jump straight to 0.100 or so - you can crack your glass plate easely if you set it too low. Just be careful.

I've uploaded all the files and info to thingiverse - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1915076
It will be easier to keep everything uptodate and easier to search for newcomers.

@mdmalavadomanuel - you are welcome to do thingiverse remix and make Windows setup instructions.

Fellow Printers,

I am trying to convert over to Cura 2.3.1, but am having some sort of problems whenever I try to run a test. The speed on all axis except Z are extremely fast and I cannot seem to adjust them down. I have created a new profile with my preferred settings but they do not seem to effect the printout. I have included images of all settings. I am running Cura on a Windows 7 machine with kr15_uk's files implemented.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please do, and I will try it out after this current print ends. I had to use XYZware.       

It is looking for an encryption key.

mdmalavadomanuel,

Thank you very much. I just got home, but did get a chance to download your profile. Not sure what version of Cura you are running, but your profile does not seem to work in version 2.3.1.

@Bozotclown1970 - I'd presume Cura is playing up and not changing feedrate.
On 2.3.1 version it happened to me couple of times that after typing in values they not being applied.
My quick fix is to press undo arrow, type in value again and then press enter key.
2.3.0 was ok, seems to be this showed up in version 2.3.1.

Also, if you want you can upload 2x gcode files with different speeds and I can have a look?!

It seems like it may only be the first layer. I was not letting it go past that layer because it was going to fast to lay the whole layer down. I tried again and the most of the layer was there so I let it go. This print seems more reasonable speed now.
