@danym21 Do you also have start codes for other slicers?

danym21

@Proschi78
no, sorry
but on S3d maybe have a look to this variables:
I do not know what is in, but you can test with a smal object and check then the gcode file

[build_size_x]
[build_size_y]
[build_size_z]
....
[next_position_x]
[next_position_y]
[next_position_z]

they are mentioned here:

@danym21 thanks I'll test that tomorrow

I do not use a mesh.g this does not exists on my system
my bed.g:

some settings in config.g that maybe relevant for:

...
M671 X-52:377 Y155:155 S2.5 					   ; leadscrews at left (connected to Z) and right
...
M557 X10:300 Y10:300 P6:6; S40                     ; define mesh grid ( the normal full size mesh config)

what can I do with this start code so that it is probing in mesh like A5 in normal mesh?
Best off five ?

@Proschi78 said in Only probe where the part will be printed:

ke A5 in no

the A5 needs to be in the config.g where you configure the probe type
look for M558

@danym21
Hello,
I know that and I also have it in the config.g
but if I start a print and it only creates the mesh where the printed part is, then it only runs once in z

M558 P1 C"io3.in" H5 A5 S0.009 F150 T6000                           ; set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z1.730; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X30:330 Y-3:210 P9

@Proschi78
mhm, this makes no sense for me, do you have a M558 on some other positions? like in the the bed.g or config-override.g?

I will test this when I have time for, I normaly use only one probe per point.

Just want to share the solution I made for this a couple of months ago (posted here)
as well.

It works with PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer, Cura and Ideamaker. Instructions are included as well.

Has anyone managed to do it with simplify v5?
