OK, will try your suggestions. I guess my error will be with Case.
I am sure i have no space after .gBTW, i think i have pinpointed my leveling issue.
I have printed holders for Z motors and my right motor was getting hotter than left one to the point it melted plastic. I have ordered longer motors and some 50x50x5 aluminium angle to fabricate some brackets.
I think it was just turning motor slightly so compensation was canceling out on melted saggy plastic.
Wow, that took me some time to notice. -
@whosrdaddy In addition to knowing quotes are allowed it would be nice to know when they are required.
Maybe I'm old school, but I always contain paths and strings in quotation marks. Especially if there is white space in it.
-
@phaedrux It would be good to have these notes. A lot of useres are beginners as myself and are not familiar with machine code and finding a refference and solution might be overwhelming sometimes.
-
It doesn't explicitly say where they can be used but there is a section covering quoted strings - https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/GCode#Section_Quoted_strings
-
@tjb1 good find. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Thanks.
-
Recent versions of RepRapFirmware allow quoted strings to be used anywhere that a string parameter is expected. Some commands (e.g. M587) require the quotes. In older commands (e.g. M32) they are optional, for compatibility with slicers.
-
I changed the text in Quoted Strings and added a note to M98 to reflect this.
-
So i have pinpointed what was missing. Basically i have assumed that macro files are created as *.g but in fact they have none.
I have machined quick angle brackets to replace plastic ones and so far it look good so most probbable cause was melted holder for uneven first layer. -
@agniusm yeah macros can have no extension, or an arbitrary extension.
-
@agniusm It can be handy to give them an extension if you ever intend to edit them on a computer. That way you can associate the extension with your text editor.
-
Small details you need to be aware of. Good that i have got it sorted as new set of my parts will be loaded soon and i dont want to go over slicing again
I will check my parts tomorrow and if bottom layer is good, next thing to sort will be tool offset probe. After that, i am golden, can sink into a couch with couple pints and good old school sci-fi.
Cheers guys -

@phaedrux, not much to elaborate, Aliens, Star Wars, Star trek, Dune etc
I have finished my 24h run of parts and bottom is smooth like baby's bottom. Same run to confirm Z brackets was my issue.

Is it possible to set fan speed on thermostatically controlled fan? I have got powerfull delta fan for hotend incase i need to have it in the box printing high temp pei or peek. Its enough to run it at 40% so can i add parameter S150 to my M106 in config.g for tool fan?

Yes you can use the M106 S parameter to do that, with a minimum PWM of 0.5.

Tkank you, works great

Is there a gcode to repeat a print? i will be experimenting with conveyor type print remooval and was wandering if there is a gcode to support reprints or is there slicer support for this?
-
@agniusm The DWC has a Print Another button, but I'm not sure if that triggers a gcode or just passes a new file print command using the already loaded gcode filename.
I guess you could create a larger macro that just had repeated M32 commands.

I have support for conditional and looping GCode planned, which would facilitate repeated prints..
-
I guess it should be easy to do workaround with end gcode to call macro which would be the print file itself for infinite looping but would be nice to have an option to set how many parts.
