Topic: Fi.iment counter software trick?

Is there a command to type inside the gcode that tells the davinci jr 1.0 that "no" fi.iment was used? I do not have access to nfc programmer or ardunio stuff, so I was hoping to do it with in the gcode.

Thanks

If there was then all the other stuff is not needed. It is not tracked by gcode. but is actually counted by a sensor in the head that if disabled also disables the printer. So again if it was that easy people would not have gone through the trouble to create the other methods.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

You make an excellent point. Ok, last question before we close the thread. I am trying to set up slic3r on my laptop and it is asking for bed size. I know its 200x200 but for the orgin, what do i put??

I have heard three differnt things

100,100 (middle)
200,200 (top right)
0,0

It just says orgin, not print area. its odd.

im on slic3r 1.2.9http://soliforum.com/i/?PTDzNVe.jpg

thank you. Is there anything i need to get slic3r going? i have not loaded any config files because another site said i did not need to.

On most machines it is 0,0. Origin is where movement begins from and in most cases is almost always home.

Re: Fi.iment counter software trick?

ok, ill try 0,0 and see what happens......haha

For print orgin i assume 100,100 which is center

This will be my first attempt at slic3r, then ill import the gcode into xyzware pros gcode editor and then save as .3w so i can open in xyzware to print to the juinor haha.

only reason i am skipping notepad++, i want a correct davinci header that matches my part so on my lcd screen, it reflects the correct time.

thanks
