End with print bed at the front not rear of the printer?
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2020 7:12 am
Hello Guys,
I have a couple of A30 printers and use Cura 4.5. When my build is done the printer moves the print bed to the rear position Y0 which makes it a pain in the a55 to get to my print when I have my printer in an enclosure. I want the print bed to be in the most forward position when the print is complete. I will admit I havent studied G code much yet so dont know how to do this exactly. In the Cura "machine settings" "End G-code" section I had:
M104 S0;Cooling the heat end
M140 S0;Cooling the heat bed
G92 E1
G1 E-1 F300
G28 X0 Y0;Home X axis and Y axis
M84
I changed it to:
M104 S0;Cooling the heat end
M140 S0;Cooling the heat bed
G92 E1
G1 E-1 F300
G28 X0 Y320;Home X axis and Y axis
M84
I though this would take the print bed to the front at the end but it made no difference, it still goes to the rear home position at the end of the print. Does anyone with more experience know the answer to this? I will figure it out eventually but I thought I would ask.
The second issue is I realized I cant print to the edge of the build plate so I will have to investigate that as well. I already added the values so the center of the build plate matches the center in Cura.
Thanks in advance,
James
