Creawsome mod for CURA 4.0
NOTE: This mod is now obsolete with Cura 4.2.1. Most of the good things this mod introduced are now incorporated into Cura 4.2.1.
This is a modification for Cura to introduce GOOD settings for Creality printers - including the Ender 3. It's still in it's infancy but it works great. A LOT gets changed and it mostly seems to be to the good.
I had been trying to print PolyPanels and wasn't having much luck. I couldn't get things right so they would snap together. I saw this and thought I'd just give it a try. It solved the problem with the PolyPanels! That makes it all worth the time.
To find out more watch the video: Creawsome mod for CURA 4.0 on The First Layer channel. They will describe the mod and talk about where to get it and how to install it.
I Highly Recommend this!
The only things I changed was in the start and ending gcode. I liked where the original code put the purge strip but I like the way the mod does it so I fiddled with the start gcode to look like this:
G28 ;Home
G1 Z0.4 ;Raise Z
G1 X0.1 Y20 F5000.0 ; Move to start position *new*
;old G1 X30 Y30 F9000 ;Go to purge start position
G1 Z0.2 ;Drop to bed
G92 E0 ;Reset E position
;old G1 X80 E25 F1200 ;Draw purge line
;old G1 X150 F7200 ;Wipe out
G1 Y80 E25 F1200 ;Draw purge line *new*
G1 Y150 F7200 ;Wipe out *new*
G92 E0 ;Reset E position
G1 Z0.4 ;Raise Z and start printing
The lines I added have *new* at the end and the lines replaced use ;old at the beginning. I changed only 3 lines in the start gcode.
For the ending gcode I replaced theirs with my original ending gcode. |
