Slic3r Temp Tower G-Code (Prusa MK3)

thingiverse

I am primarily uploading the gcode here as a quick backup. Meanwhile, the gcode was created for the MK3 on Slic3r. The PLA temp tower ranges from 200 to 220 degrees Celsius with a five-degree difference between each setting. I might add a PETG later. It's worth noting that I will update these files as needed. It takes approximately two and a half hours for the PLA gcode to complete. _________________________________________________ Note: It should be noted that I have my printer play a note at the very start and end of the print. When it plays a note at the very beginning, it's signaling that the heating is done and it's about to begin mesh leveling. I use this to help clean the nozzle area if necessary. The end obviously indicates some audio telling me the print is complete. If you want this feature on your prints, follow these steps. In Slic3r, go to "Printer Settings" then click on "Custom G-code". Add the following for the start: ; gcode start sound M300 S440 P500 M300 S880 P500 M300 S440 P500 (I have a complete copy and paste of the entire thing below) To get the sound at the end, do the following in the "End G-code". (I put this at the very last part) ; gcode end sound M300 S440 P1500 M300 S587 P1500 M300 S440 P1500 M300 S587 P1500 The following is a complete copy and paste of the start: M115 U3.4.1 ; tell printer latest fw version M83 ; extruder relative mode M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set extruder temp M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for extruder temp ; gcode start sound M300 S440 P500 M300 S880 P500 M300 S440 P500 G28 W ; home all without mesh bed level G80 ; mesh bed leveling G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside print area G92 E0.0 G1 X60.0 E9.0 F1000.0 ; intro line G1 X100.0 E12.5 F1000.0 ; intro line G92 E0.0 M221 S{if layer_height==0.05}100{else}95{endif} ________________________________ HOW DID I EDIT THIS? On the Slic3r, I simply looked at where a given layer started under preview. On the G-Code, I did a find for ;(layer). So say if the change should happen at layer 7, I would do a find for ;7 Where the change occurs, I added: M104 S220 ; set temperature The M104 command tells the printer to keep printing while the temp changes. Since we aren't dealing with some real swings in temp, I think this is more than okay.
