Need help with Repetier / Slic3r and Gcode
October 21, 2015 04:38PM
Hello,


I just setup my first Prusa i3 with Melzi and I printed one of the standard Gcode files that came with it. All well.
Now I want to slice a STL into Gcode and I get a strange result.

In Slic3r I have set the bed temp to 55 and extruder temp to 200. When I print though it wants to heat the extruder to 55. When I look at the output Gcode I see this:

M109 S55 ; set bed temperature
M104 S201 T0 ; set temperature

The Gcode file that I have that works has this:

T0
M109 S196

Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks a million

Quick update: when I comment the first line like so:

Quote

;M109 S55 ; set bed temperature
M104 S201 T0 ; set temperature

It will set the temp to 201 but it will not wait for it to reach that temperature. So to make sure I don't do a cold extrusion I preheat the extruder and hit print. Then it all works fine.

Success: I accidentally had set the machine config (G-code flavor) to Sailfish. My Wanhao duplicator has Sailfish firmware smiling bouncing smiley
Now that I have set it to Reprap it all works fine.
