Layer height runs

wilriker

@steffen I know that S3D creates some weird GCodes that makes it sometimes hard for RRF to figure out which layer it actually is right now.
Again, uploading the GCode file (or any GCode file where this happens) would be helpful.

@steffen At least there is nothing obviously strange with that GCode at first sight. You have a Z-hop of 0.4mm and it starts at 0.172mm for the first layer and increments in 0.2mm steps from there.

Also relevant: Firmware and DWC versions.

Maybe @dc42 has any idea on this one?

EDIT: I checked the file again. The following command confuses the FileInfoParser:

G1 Z-275 F40 S1; Move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)

can you maybe move your start codes into a macro file and just call M98 Pstart_macro.g?

I commented out this line and now the estimation works as expected.

G90
G1 Z-275 F40 S1; Move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 X0 Y5 Z0.2 F3000 ; get ready to prime

Any and all of those Z moves will confuse it.

@phaedrux said in Layer height runs:

G1 Z5 F1800
G90
G1 Z-275 F40 S1; Move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 X0 Y5 Z0.2 F3000 ; get ready to prime

Any and all of those Z moves will confuse it.

Actually, the first one will be ignored because it is in relative movement mode. But you are right about the last one (which I did miss because it coincidentally is close enough to the real first layer's Z height so that there is no real confusion).

Here's my start script, something that's not necessary

G28 ; home all axes
G91
G1 Z5 F1800
G90
G1 Z-275 F40 S1; Move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)
G1 X0 Y5 Z0.2 F3000 ; get ready to prime
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 X250 E20 F600 ; prime nozzle

What do you have in homeall.g ?
Because all of this

G91
G1 Z5 F1800
G90
G1 Z-275 F40 S1; Move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)

should be in there. It gets executed with G28

One of my friends sent this file and when I print it is okay
I can't see what's wrong

Steffen

By the way, it's a machine similar

Phaedrux

We've explained why it's doing it.

You have homing moves in your start gcode in the slicer that shouldn't be there.

Let's compare the file your friend has to yours.

Do you see the difference?

You need to remove this from your start gcode in the slicer.

Yes it makes sense Thank you
