I have a troodon printer and its not recognized in the cura settings. Is there anyone that can give or help me with the settings as I can’t fine them anywhere. The files I have found are all for windows systems and I have a Mac. its the start g-code box and the end g-code box I need the info for and of course the extruder end and start g-codes.
The start and end gcode is completely independent of Linux, Mac or Windows.
The start Gcode for my Ender 5 Pro, given that X, Y, and Z are 220, 220, and 300 respectively is:
M201 X500.00 Y500.00 Z100.00 E5000.00 ;Setup machine max acceleration
M203 X500.00 Y500.00 Z10.00 E50.00 ;Setup machine max feedrate
M204 P500.00 R1000.00 T500.00 ;Setup Print/Retract/Travel acceleration
M205 X8.00 Y8.00 Z0.40 E5.00 ;Setup Jerk
M220 S100 ;Reset Feedrate
M221 S100 ;Reset Flowrate
The end Gcode is:
G91 ;Relative positioning
G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit
G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z
G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ;Wipe out
G1 Z10 ;Raise Z more
G90 ;Absolute positioning
G1 X0 Y0 ;Present print
M106 S0 ;Turn-off fan
M104 S0 ;Turn-off hotend
M140 S0 ;Turn-off bed
M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z
For what it’s worth, at the time I started with it, Cura didn’t have a default setup for the Ender 5Pro either. I just took the profile of a similar size and style of printer and adjusted the X, Y and Z dimensions as appropriate, as well as the location of the Origin (right rear on a 5Pro)
thank you for this. So do I just type all you have posted Ito the relevant boxes.
Yes, but keep in mind that this is for an Ender5Pro, so you may need to adjust some settings to suit your needs. Frankly, I never adjusted any of these settings from wherever I initially found them, so they may not even be optimal for the 5Pro, but I don’t know enough about what I’m doing to know whether any of the values need to be tweaked. I just get satisfactory (to me) results from them. A more experienced/advanced user might want to make adjustments to improve performance or print quality, but, for the most part, I don’t know what aspects of print quality or performance these values change so I’ve left well enough alone.
Just be aware that your prints may still come out sub-optimal and it might be due to some of these settings being less than ideal for a Troodon.
