Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Hi guys, hi Steve.

I have a top-down printer with slider system.
In the g code, I have a line like this.

G1 X 120 F 3500
G1 - X 120 F 3500

This is done in each layer
But actually it is not necessarily so, and I'd like to turn this feature every 3 to 5 layers.

How I can achieve that?

Thanks for all.
regards

Read the new User Manual here: . I have a section on Gcode Pre-processor commands and how to achieveGCode commands that can occur on various slices or slice intervals. You can use the modulus operator '%'.

Thanks Steve.

So, if I want to activate the y axis every 4 slices, then :

{$CURSLICE%4==0?G1 Y124 F3000:Y0}
G1 Y-124 F3000

Its works very well, but if I do not want to take the first layers GUI in consideration ?

I managed to run intermittently slide system but I need the first layers (that are used to attach to the building platform), work with regularly and after these layers, passing intermittently.


I appreciate any help.

Ok Steve.

********* Lift Sequence ********
G1 {$SlideTiltVal != 0? X$SlideTiltVal:} Z($ZLiftDist * $ZDir) F$ZLiftRate
G1 {$SlideTiltVal != 0? X($SlideTiltVal * -1):} Z(($LayerThickness-$ZLiftDist) * $ZDir) F$ZRetractRate
{$CURSLICE%3==0? G1 X124 F3000:}
G1 X-124 F3000
;<Delay> %d$BlankTime

another question. Can you print the first layers of different thicknesses? for example, the first three layers of the GUI at 100 microns and 25 microns the rest?

Your can program it this way. Slice model twice. Take n thicker slises for first layers and rest slices for another layers.
