Topic: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

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.

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.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.

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.

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.

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

This is in the Repetier.ino Arduino file:

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

I like using and refilling the cartridges. They keep the filament tidy and clean, and with the desiccant pouch inside, dry as well.

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.

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

Thanks Bryan! Exactly what I was looking for.

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

bryan,

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

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

I reloaded 1 today myself I had a total weight of 692 grams with spool and filament. But I forgot to weigh the spool first to see what the empty weight of the spool was.

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

I didn't measure or weigh it, but I can next time I have one out. I just wound it up till it was pretty full. I've reloaded with PVA, HIPS, and ABS.

Re: GCode Ref & Reusing XYZ Cartridges

I measured an empty spool just then it weighed about 125g and that was only for the spool that comes inside the plastic housing.
