I ran a test as explained below but the scripts in Repetier-Host did not behave as I expected. Apologies for the length of the message. My overall aim is to make some scripts that facilitate calibrating my printer in an easier way as it is a temperamental home build 3D printer and I'm very new to 3D printing.
Setup:
Repetier=Host Mac
Version 1.2.0 (105)
/Applications/Repetier-Host-Mac.app/Contents/Resources/defaultPrepend.gcode contains following code
M117 defaultPrepend_Gcode
G0 X15 Z15 Y5 F500
/Applications/Repetier-Host-Mac.app/Contents/Resources/defaultAppend.gcode contains following code
M117 defaultAppend_Gcode
G0 X12 Y12 Z6 F500
G-Code ( user defined script )
M117 G-Code
G28 Y12 Z6 F500
Start Code ( user defined script )
M117 Start_code
G0 X5 Y5 Z5 F500
End Code ( user defined script )
M117 End_code
G28 X
Script 1 ( user defined script )
M117 Script1
G28 Z
Test:
With the " Script 1 " window in the G-code menu open click the " Run " Icon on the menu
Result:
> 3:02:03 PM: M117 Start_code
> 3:02:03 PM: N6189 G0 X5.00 Y5.00 Z5.000 F500.000 *34
> 3:02:03 PM: M117 G-Code
> 3:02:03 PM: N6190 G28 Y12.00 Z6.000 F500.000 *70
> 3:02:03 PM: M117 End_code
> 3:02:07 PM: N6191 G28 X0.00 *106
< 3:02:07 PM: Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 6190
< 3:02:07 PM: Resend: 6191
3:02:07 PM: Resend: N6191 G28 X0.00 *106
Conclusions:
Both files "defaultPrepend.gcode" end "defaultAppend.gcode" seems to be added only when slicing is used and has nothing to do with user-defined "Start Code" and "End Code" scripts.
The order of scripts seem to be:
1) Start code
2) defaultPrepend.gcode (only when the slicer is used)
3) Slicer generated code or handwritten or saved G-code if slicer is not used
4) defaultAppend.gcode (only when the slicer is used)
5) End code
Questions:
Q1 Is the above script order a correct assumption?
Q2 How to run Script 1 or Script X? ( Tried all of the scripts and they react the same as one would expect)
Q3 After execution my printer display indicated the printer head to be at position [X 0 Y 12 Z 6]
(which seems correct according to the results of the code sent to the printer)
The printer panel in the Repetier-Host app states the printer head to be at [X 0 Y 0 Z 0]
(which seems incorrect)
Q4 How can I avoid the "Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: XX".
I tried various syntaxes and codes but without any success.
Q5 Apologies but I read what I could find online and failed to make this work, hence this question.
So please explain in simple terms what this newbie is doing wrong?
Hoped for behavior:
I was hoping for behavior in which Script 1-5 executes on its own or at least there would be an option for each of these scripts to include or exclude the "Start code" and "End code" scripts.
Thanks a lot in advance ... for anybody that can provide some help.
Even letting me know if you could replicate this or not is useful.
