How much did you reload into cartridge? Are you getting more than the 600g/240meters that (I think) is in a standard one?
This is just for ABS..right?
Thanks
Jay
]]>I printed Aaron's filament rewinder tool and I can refill a cartridge in probably 5 minutes or so. You stick a 1/4" hex bit into it's socket and turn it with a drill or cordless screwdriver. Let the host spool spin on a horizontal shaft.

*/I refilled one, and there are a million thongs I would rather spend and hour on.
Heh - there's probably a million thongs I'd rather spend an hour on as well.
Might try the cartridge refill once just to say I did it. Assuming you don't use the carts, do you use an external feeder or do you make use of the available cart space in the printer? I like the idea of keeping it compact - even when I move it into my workroom I don't necessarily want a bunch of spare spools lying around just asking for my kids to mess with them.
The light control was never enabled on the rep firmware as most as far as I know leave it on. being LED the energy it uses it nearly none.
That's just one example though - I'd like to manage ooze, retraction, wipes etc and it would be useful to have some GCode reference.
]]>Setup: Davinci Duo with Repetier 0.92 Firmware, Octopi Print Server, Simplify3D Mac
Couple questions:
- Anyone know of a good GCode reference that describes codes available on Repetier 0.92? I know of https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Fi … i/G-codes, but it seems incomplete (no control of light, no mention of switching current extruder, etc). I also know the default firmware allows for some special XYZ-only commands, not sure if those are still available.
- I hacked together an ugly DIY filament holder until I decide which one to print, but I actually like the idea of cartridges, or at least something that uses that space. Has anyone tried refilling the cartridges with 3rd-party filament? Or know of anyone having tried to use the spool bays?
I refilled one, and there are a million thongs I would rather spend and hour on. Unless you can make rig that will turn the feeding and receiving roll at the same time it is a pain in the asterisk.
