Z lift before print starts?

Z lift before print starts?
September 01, 2012 03:35PM
Been having a nightmware past couple of days connect get a decent Z endstop etc etc no problems there i can sort that laters.

but i noticed while having to keep messing with the Z start height.

When i start a print

it runs my custom gcode which is home all axies

then it goes into main code

it lifts Z !

then starting doing the skirt outline.

is this normal ? iv never noticed before that it lifts Z before doing a print hence screwing my Z stop height

It should rise to the height of the first layer.

If you are using slic3r it will lift the Z to your set layer height for first layer. I find parking the nozzle tip right on the bed gives a good layer with slic3r. However if you ever try skeinforge you'll have to remember as SF does not lift it and you'll end up dragging your nozzle on the surface

As stated before, Slic3r will lift the print by your layer height before starting the print. It is scary, as I have a hot brass nozzle resting ON glass and if it decides not to lift, either the nozzle or the glass will break as it moves to the middle, but so far so good. I have my endstop set so that it will activate when I'm about a paper thickness away from the surface, and it works perfectly.

Z lift before print starts?

I M USING REPETIER HOST AND SLICER FROM INBUILTED IN REPETIER HOST WHEN I CLICK ON PRINT IT FRIST HOMES ALL THE AXIS AND THEN LIFT THE Z AXIS BY SOME AMOUNT BY (2MM OR 1MM I M NOT SURE BUT IT LIFTS )
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD CHANGE THE G-CODE
PLEASE HELP I M ALMOST THERE TO PRINT I BEEN WORKING 1 MONTHS
SUGGEST ME MY EMAIL.ID IS

Jotirling,

I have same situation, but I don't have any problems with that. Before printing start Repetier just move all axses at home position. If you use endstop at Z min then you should check in firmware:
// If during homing the endstop is reached, ho many mm should the printer move back for the second try
#define ENDSTOP_X_BACK_MOVE 5
#define ENDSTOP_Y_BACK_MOVE 5
#define ENDSTOP_Z_BACK_MOVE 1

So when Z endstop will be triggered repetier will move back (up) Z for 1mm and then back down till endstop is not triggered again and stay here or start printing at first layer height.

Regards,
johnny

thanx johnny
realy thnx for reply
i appreciate that .
now i wanted to set temp 230 deg C in repetier host but its not working ,when it hits 210,215,suddenly it fluctuation like 234,354,260,240,214,and likewise it is coming down to room temp and giving me this error
"Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting)"
tell what should i change in my Marlin firmware i m usin following marlin firmware
suggest me which software should i use pronterface or repetier or cura
i have installer cura 15.01 somethin new latest but i m not able to find manual control in that,
thnx for reply

/*================== Thermal Runaway Protection ==============================
This is a feature to protect your printer from burn up in flames if it has
a thermistor coming off place (this happened to a friend of mine recently and
motivated me writing this feature).

The issue: If a thermistor come off, it will read a lower temperature than actual.
The system will turn the heater on forever, burning up the filament and anything
else around.

After the temperature reaches the target for the first time, this feature will
start measuring for how long the current temperature stays below the target
minus _HYSTERESIS (set_temperature - THERMAL_RUNAWAY_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS).

If it stays longer than _PERIOD, it means the thermistor temperature
cannot catch up with the target, so something *may be* wrong. Then, to be on the
safe side, the system will he halt.

Bear in mind the count down will just start AFTER the first time the
thermistor temperature is over the target, so you will have no problem if
your extruder heater takes 2 minutes to hit the target on heating.

Hi JOTIRLING,

It is hard to say what is wrong with you temp. You should check thermistor resistance during heatup with instrument, because it seems like something is wrong with it when heat up above temp. you mentioned. When you heatup extruder, thermistor resistance must decreasing nicely and not drift to much up and down...

Another problem can be your configuration of it. Are you sure you have right choice: // 8 is 100k 0603 SMD Vishay NTCS0603E3104FXT (4.7k pullup)??

johnny
