Cura json file for your Geeetech A10M printer

[SackofFluor]

I tried that by changing the mixing ration on the LCD directly, but that didnt had any effect.
Where could i change it besides that `?

You can take a look at Color mixer software:

hi,
I have an A10m and seem that work fine, but when print two color with cura, the printer fail... print correctly only first layer whit two color, than it crash with fail heating error.
My firmware is 1.8 (may be... don't remembar exatcly now).
I have imported this profile but seem that is some wrong in my case.
If I use repetier host, two color printed work fine but I would use cura 4 that is more flessible and usable.
Can help mi?

Hi,paolo.f
I think you can refer to these pic then set the temp of it to 200C

nice, this evening I'll try this setup.

ok, I tryed again and now seem that all work well, only need some adjusting for cleaning extrusion when change color.

Hi,paolo.f
That's good news.

Hello,
a few days ago I downloaded the Cura profiles for the A10M and installed them according to the description above. I loaded two STL into Cura, one of them assigned to the second extruder and in the Prepare view the two objects were also displayed in two colors. After slicing, the preview showed that only the first extruder was active.

I found the following error in Cura's error log:
2019-04-14 14:02:26,747 - DEBUG - [Thread-13] UM.Backend.Backend._backendLog [94]: [Backend] [WARNING] Couldn't load .def.json file for extruder 1. Index out of bounds.
2019-04-14 14:02:26,748 - DEBUG - [Thread-13] UM.Backend.Backend._backendLog [94]: [Backend] Loading first extruder definition instead.

So I set up an Ultimaker 3 as a printer to verify and it worked fine. Then I looked at the files with the extruder definitions. In the files for the Ultimaker extruders, the extruder 0 had the entry
"extruder_nr": {"default_value": 0, "maximum_value": "1"},
and for extruder 1 the entry
"extruder_nr": {"default_value": 1, "maximum_value": "1"},

In the extruder definitions for the A10M, extruder 0 was the same as in the Ultimaker file
"extruder_nr": {"default_value": 0, "maximum_value": "1"},
but for extruder 1, the entry was also
"extruder_nr": {"default_value": 0, "maximum_value": "1"},

Then I changed the definition for extruder 1 analogous to the Ultimaker file to
"extruder_nr": {"default_value": 1, "maximum_value": "1"}, (Pic33)

Since the restart of Cura, I can now also create two-color files (Pic40).
Is there perhaps a typo in the file for the second extruder?

Excuse my poor English, please.

I think there's another problem:
In the file Geeetech_A10M.def.json a temperature is set in the start GCode. Cura inserts the Start GCode in my version after heating up the bed and hotend to the temperatures according to the material selection. This leads to the result that I don't print with the temperature assigned by me to the material, but always with the temperature from the start GCode. I have removed M109 and M190 from my start GCode.
T0; --> Aktivieren Extruder 0
M140 S55; --> Set Bed Temperature, Target temperature=55
M105; --> Report Temperatures
M190 S55; --> Wait for Bed Temperature, Target temperature=55
M104 S210; --> Set Hotend Temperature , Target temperature=210
M104 T1 S210; --> Set Hotend Temperature , Hotend index=1, Target temperature=210
M105; --> Report Temperatures
M109 S210; --> Wait for Hotend Temperature, Target temperature=210

Hello.


LisaE, see how the default code in RepetirtHost looks like:

Code: Select all

; Default start code
G28 ; Home extruder
G1 Z15 F{Z_TRAVEL_SPEED}
M107 ; Turn off fan
G90 ; Absolute positioning
M82 ; Extruder in absolute mode
{IF_BED}M190 S{BED}
; Activate all used extruder
{IF_EXT0}M104 T0 S{TEMP0}
G92 E0 ; Reset extruder position
; Wait for all used extruders to reach temperature
{IF_EXT0}M109 T0 S{TEMP0}

The program supports parameters for commands. This is better.
Maybe the Slicer you're using can do it.
