The space has a highly modified M3D Micro (donated by Andrew Barabasz) that is fully compatible with the RepRap protocol, using a custom firmware known as iMe. Cura and Printrun are known to work with the printer as-is, and should work with any other slicer as long as it is configured correctly.
The following information assumes the use of a Cura/Printrun setup, if yours is different, configure accordingly.
Configuration
Printer is available on /dev/ttyACM1 running at 115200 baud.
When the printer is power-cycled, the firmware starts up in bootloader mode and will not receive gcode commands. To enable the printer, use m33-manager (check software section) to switch it to firmware mode.
Extruder Config
- Printer type: Custom FDM Printer
- Nozzle size: 0.35mm
- Material size: 1.75mm
- G-code flavor: RepRap
- Retraction length: 2mm (important!)
Start G-code
G28; set home position M106 S255; turn on fans ; prime the extruder G92 E0; G0 F2100 X8 Y104 Z0.270; G1 F600 X40 Y104 E10.0; G92 E0;
End G-code
G91; relative positioning
G1 E-0.5 F300; release pressure
G1 Z+0.5 F{travel_speed}; retract filament
G1 Z+6 F{travel_speed}; move up z
; turn off printer
M104 S0; turn off extruder
M107; turn off fans
M18; turn off steppers
G90; absolute positioning
;{profile_string}
Maintenance
You can use pronsole or m33-manager to run these gcode commands directly.
Printer calibration
G30; calibrate bed depth G32; calibrate bed tilt
Insert new filament
M104 S200; turn on the extruder G1 F100 E100; pull in new plastic
Replacing filament
M104 S200; turn on the extruder G1 F60 E60; soften up plastic G1 F-60 E-60; retract old plastic G1 F100 E100; pull in new plastic
Software
M33 Manager
