Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice
What should I set my start gcode at
I'd like to know this as well, specifically for Simplify3D. Anyone have the start and ending G-Code?
There are plenty of threads that cover start and end G-code (use the search function). I would start here http://www.soliforum.com/topic/231/impr … end-gcode/
If you want to use the auto-level you will probably need to add in a G28 & G29 somewhere.
this is what i am using now
T0
G21; set mm units
G28 X0 Y0; home x and y axes
G91
G1 Z10 F5000; move bed down
G90; use absolute coordinates
G1 X0 Y0 F5000; move to front
@pause
G29; probe bed
G92 E0; reset extrusion distance
Here is the start code that I have come up with by cobbling together other start-up codes. Mostly cpsmichel's and lawsy's.
G21; set mm units
G1 Z10 F300; drop bed for clearance
G28 X0 Y0; home x and y axis
@pause; probe double check
G28 Z0; home z
M190 S80; set bed temp to start heating
M104 S215; set extruder to start heating
M190 S105; set bed temp to printing temp
G90; set absolute coordinates
G1 Z5 F300; move bed down 5mm
G1 X10 Y10 F3000; move to front left corner
M109 S215; wait for extruder temp to be reached
G28; home prior to z-probe
G29; z-probe
G1 Z.35 F200; move platform close to nezzle
G92 E0; reset extrusion distance
G28; home to drop anchor
G1 E7; extrude anchor
I have tweaked a few things that I have yet to try, like the "pause" at the beginning for z-probe and the "home" before extruding the anchor. The anchor kept ending up in the center of the glass and was gumming up the works. But, I was able to hit the "RUN" button and the printer did everything I thought it would in the start-up code. I will add these last few changes on my next print.
Let me know if any of this is redundant or bulky!
Thanks for your help!!!

Running G28 after G29 will erase all of the data measured by the probe.
I will try yours but i have had great results with mine but i did mode my probe
and the Pause is great if you forget to clean you head or put the probe in the right place
this is what i am using
