For the 0.92mod the GCODE codes available is here : https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier- … petier.ino
I maintain it for generic and custom codes

I see a lot of recommended settings and stuff on forums but I'd love to be able to browse and learn more about it so I can expand things later on.

Here ya go.

Give me a bit to edit that existing end code. Most of what you want is there, I think the commands with the words are just confusing it so it is not making all the commands.

UPDATE:

So here is a basic end code that should do what you want aside from the cleaning. The cleaning would need custom code written to make the head move over the cleaning blade. It can be done but would take time as well as trial and error.

G28 X0 Y0 ;home X axis and y axis
G1 Z150 F300 ;lower platform to bottom
M104 S0 ;kill extruder temperature
M140 S0 ;kill bed temperature
M84 ;disable motors
M300 s2500 p400 ;Beep
M300 s2000 p400
M300 s1500 p400
M300 s1000 p400

That would be correct. Also to turn off the bed and extruder after printing

Well for starts all the M117 commands you have with words are useless. These machine only know Gcode commands with numbers. They do not understand words. The words after the ; is for your benefit so you know what that line does. So lets go back to basics. Aside from cleaning you mainly want the bed to lower to the bottom and the head to move to the back right corner over the drip pan correct?

No worries mate.

The start and end scripts I found on the voltivo forums and was using them for repetier, which somewhat did what I wanted, but doesn't work in S3D

I'll post both scripts to be sure

Start G-Code

M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Bed (no wait)
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Extruder (no wait)
M106 S255 ; Start fan
G90 ; set absolute coordinates
M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Extruder (wait)
M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Bed (wait)
M117 Start
M300 s1000 p400 ; Beep
M300 s1500 p400
M300 s2000 p400
M300 s2500 p400
M117 Cleaning
M100 ; Cleaning
G1 Z5 F1500
G1 X0 Y15 F1000
G1 X32 Y30 F1000
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 Z[first_layer_height] F4800.000
G1 X32 Y170 E14 F1000
G1 X32 Y185 F1000
M117 Printing

End G-Code
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off Bed
G90 ; Absolute
G28 X0 Y0 ; home
M117 Down Bed
G1 Z200 ; Lower bed
M117 Cleaning
M100 ;Cleaning
M84 ; Disable motors
M117 Cooling
M190 S50 ; Bed (cooling)
M116 ; Wait for all temperatures
M140 S0 ; turn off Bed
M117 Pickup piece
M300 s2500 p400 ; Beep
M300 s2000 p400
M300 s1500 p400
M300 s1000 p400
M84 ; Disable motors
M117 Printer Ready

Thanks for the help I appreciate it

Post your current end gcode and we can tell you what to add.

Need some help on Gcodes and setup.

Hi guys, first of all let me say that I am new to the 3D printing world. This forum has been a great help so far I'm currently running repetier 0.92 on a Da Vinci 1.0a machine.

Everything has so far been running decently and haven't had much of an issue with setting it up. I have been using the repetier host program with some hit an miss results though.
The support structures in the host never work out and are way to hard to remove. Print time being a lot faster is a plus though. some prints are very sloppy though

Simplify 3D has way better results quality wise but are slow print times. My support structures work brilliantly in this program so I am wanting to mainly use the one that I am having better results with.

My main issue is that Ive been trying to find a way to make Simplify3D behave a little like it did before I flashed it.
After a print, it just stops and stays there.

I need a little help, if possible, with some form of basic start and/or finish gcode to make the bed go down, home the extruder, cleaning, turn off extruder and temps etc.

I appreciate any help and thank you all for having an awesome little informative community. I'm glad to be a part of it.
