Unresolved New User Need Help with Gcode Info.

Just got my Robo3d R1 printer, great unit I like the overall design. Sold my MakergearM2 to get this unit, really like the autolevel and auto z height adjust, sooooo much better that adjusting manually.

Here is my question, I see the limitations in the MC software "Lockups" "Slow" just to buggy. I want to use slic3r and repetier host that's what I am comfortable with. What exactly do I need to add to the Gcode in slic3r to get the Auto Level and auto z height to work.

I added G29 that seems to do the 9 point check just fine but when it printed the print head was right on glass, obviously that's a problem.

What ""exactly"" do I need to add to the Slic3r gcode for the auto level and auto z height.

Thanks BOB.

 

Your starting Gcode should look like this:

G28 ; home all axes
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
M109 S[temperature] ; set the extruder temp and wait
G28 Z0 ; Home Z again in case there was filament on nozzle
M565 Z0
G29 ; probe the bed

Now the M565 is your z offset,change the "Z0" to "Z1" and try printing and see if this raises your nozzle enough. If not continue increasing the number until you get a good print. For me my Z offset is "Z1.4".

 

For m565 you need a negative z offset to raise the bed

 

Crap,forgot about the negative.

 

Wow I totally forgot about the z offset setting in slic3r. Working great now.
