I see that code is generated in the terminal, Is it stored somewhere or is it a cut and paste deal?

I have made most of the adjustments to local.cfg and the machine moves properly, the extruder extrudes the right amount, ect. The problem is the auto-level routine. I’ve tried two approaches. First i tried to write my own, the result was that Redeem crashed and took the system with it. I had to reboot. Next I tried working with the routine in default.cfg. This runs without crashing, but fixes the bed level 10 mm above the bed.

The problem is that the Z sensor is fixed on a probe that is about a millimeter above the print head (it’s inductive). There is no need to deploy it and it’s always on, so G31 and G32 don’t do anything. The leveling routine lifts the printer head up some distance to make room for the sensor and that is why the bed level is too high when I run it. However, when I set that distance in G-code to zero, the system crashes. I don’t know why.

Has anyone tried to make Replicape work for Printrbot models?

Thanks for being so welcoming of our input. It’s really great! 🙂 Such a freakin cool project all this too, if I didn’t say. 🙂

Yes! Thanks for the pull request, it should be accepted now : )

This is neat! However, must we deviate even more from GCODE standards? “G29S” is not valid GCODE and likely not even be send by some CNC controllers — or if so, it will be sent (or expected to be translated as) “G29 S” (with the space).

Might I suggest sticking with the GCODE standard, which is this case would indicate using something like G29.1, G29.2 etc.

Cheers.
