Temperature Tower Remix

thingiverse

This is a sort of remix of quirxi's tower (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2615842). If you slice his original .stl file (or one you modified in OpenSCAD), it will print the entire tower at the starting temperature. To change temperature for each part of the tower, you have to slice in Cura (some other slicers may be able to do it, but I don't know of any) with the Post Processing extension and add a ChangeAtZ script for each change. (I won't explain how to do this since there are currently [as of April 2021] MANY YouTube videos explaining it.) If you want a different temperature range (quirxi included an OpenSCAD file, so you can modify the tower), you'll have to look at my gcode to see what changes I've made (but the original tower runs from 220°C to 175°C, which should give you some printable temperature for PLA). (If you really need a different temperature range, and you can't figure out how to do it, post a comment and I'll run up a file for you.) Don't be concerned if your printer seems to stop after the first temperature has been printed - after each one there's an M109 R<temperature> gcode to let the hotend cool down 5 degrees - and it won't proceed until it cools down. (If you want pictures, see quirxi's tower at the link above.)
