Custom start code for firmware 078d-dc42

Since I've updated to 078d-dc42 I needed to update the slic3r custum start code anyway and tried to clean up some code
I want the machine to go to the warm-up position first and then heat up bed and nozzle, in that order.
Why does the following code not work?
It does not go to the warm-position, but starts heating where it is and waits

Kind regards,
Leon

G21 ; set units to millimeters
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
M83 ; use relative distances for extrusion
M107 ; Fan Off
G1 Z5 F200 ; lift nozzle
G1 X2 Y190 F2000 ; Go to wait for warm position
M190 S65 ; wait for bed temperature to be reached
T1; Select extruder
M109 S205 ; wait for nozzle temperature to be reached
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
M83 ; use relative distances for extrusion
G1 X2 Y150 F2000; Go to start position

M107
G1 X2 Y190; park the machine
M0; stop

Leon, two possibilities:

1. slic3r has a habit of inserting extra gcode at the start of the file before your custom gcode. Take a look at one of the gcode files it has generated. You may find it has generated a command to set the hot end temperature and/or wait for it to be reached before your custom gcode. It may also depend on the version of slic3r you are using. I use 1.1.6.

2. If you have a single nozzle system, and you are using the tpre1.g file from my repository, edit it to comment out the M116 command in it.

Hi,

To avoid anything being inserted by slic3r I edited the file by hand.
What is shown above is the entire file. Nothing else. I know it does not print anything, just to test the start sequence.
So I'm confused why it does not work as I think it should.

I don't use the tpre1.g files since I don't know where to find them and I don't use the buggy USB interface anyway.

Kind regards,
Leon

Hi Leon, I've reproduced that problem. Looking into it now.

Leon, it looks like that my fork inherited that bug from RRP's 0.78 version. I will fix it shortly. In the meantime, a workaround is to insert a G4 P1 command just before any M109 or M190 commands in your code.

Hi Leon,

If you use the following code in slic3r, you don't then need the M109 and M 190 because the temperature is taken from the settings you have made on the Filament page of slic3r.

M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; Set bed heater
M116 ; Wait for everything (Bed temp)
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; Set hotend
M116 ; Wait for everything (Hotend temp)

Just copy and past.

Sorry, I wasn't at the machine earlier.

The fix in 078e-dc42 seems to work just fine
Paul, thanks for the custom code!
