Hi all from deep in the snow of northeast US. I am just learning and tweaking my printer. I sratch built a Prusa i3. I'm using Marlin,Pronterface, & Slic3r. My question is: how can I change printer/print settings while the print is ongoing? For instance adjust speeds for different areas, or layer height, or temps.

The printer won't change speeds immediately. The M220 command needs to work it's way through the printers buffer.]]> jbernardis Reprappers Sun, 01 Feb 2015 11:37:21 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463886#msg-463886 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463886#msg-463886 cat.farmer Reprappers Sun, 01 Feb 2015 09:05:35 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463630#msg-463630 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463630#msg-463630
You can't change layer heights from pronterface- that has to be done in the slicing software. Slic3r will let you set different layer heights throughout the print. After you load an STL file, open the "object" menu and select "settings". In that window you can manipulate layer thickness as a function of Z height.]]> the_digital_dentist Reprappers Sat, 31 Jan 2015 20:19:07 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463497#msg-463497 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,463497,463497#msg-463497
