This text appears to be a documentation for advanced file configurations for a 3D printer. Here's a breakdown of the main points: **Regular Files** * Have a problem where they abort preheating when run, because the printer treats them like print files * Can cause inaccuracies if repeated multiple times in a row due to cooling down * Available for bed temperatures (50°C, 60°C, 80°C, and 95°C) and extruder temperatures (190°C, 220°C, 230°C, and 240°C) * Not all combinations are available due to material-specific requirements (PLA, PETG, ABS) **BedProbe Files** * Position nozzles over a grid of 9 points to check bed levelness * Can be used as an extra test before printing large areas on the platform * General advice is to use a thick first layer to compensate for unevenness in the platform **Perl Script and GPX Program** * A Perl script generates variations of files from .gcode template files * The script can be edited to generate other combinations of temperatures or sheet thicknesses * The GPX program is required to convert gcode files to X3G **Background Info** * Preheating the bed before levelling is necessary due to thermal expansion, especially above 60°C * Heating extruders too may cause oozing and mess up levelling * A "music" sound at the end of files is added to avoid printer finishing prematurely **Updates** * Each file now comes in three variations for more accurate levelling (2016/09/28) * Increased clearance for travel moves from 3 mm to 6 mm (2017/07/03) * Added extra files and script for generating variations with bed and extruder heating (2017/12/26) * Updated generate script for easier template changes (2018/08/03)
