I have created a printer file for the Vormvrij Lutum 5. I have been able to print a few shapes with it.
I made it so it replicates the same steps at the beginning and at the end that I get with the Prüsa slicer using Vormvrij configuration file. I also adjusted dia_feed to get the right amount of clay through the nozzle.
Here is the code:
Note that the reason for keeping the '; generated by PrusaSlicer 2.7.4' comment line as the first line is to allow display by the Prüsa gcode viewer so it will look at the configuration appended at the end of the file and show lines with the right width and thickness. Without this line it shows very thin lines (typical of regular plastic 3d printer). Actually to make this complete it would need to add a complete Prüsa configuration at the end, possibly loaded from a .ini used by the slicer, I have not done this yet so I copy those configuration lines from a gcode file I created previously with the Prüsa slicer. This is only needed for viewing, not for printing.
