Nozzle temperature monitor and Z offset #123

Open didli opened 7 years ago

didli commented 7 years ago

Hi ! Using repsnapper 2.4 on fedora 25 x64, there is no report of the nozzle temperature (while bed temperature reports fine) on a chinese prusa i3 clone. It's not that important since printing still works even without the monitoring. Now my only real issue is I can't find where I can change the Z offset. I'm using an inductive sensor, and since I've changed my nozzle, there is a difference in height (extruder starts too high and don't even touch the bed now). Any idea if there is a setting for that in repsnapper ? Thank you ! PS : I must say I like repsnapper. UI might be a bit confusing, but rock solid (never crashed on me, not even once). So thank you for repsnapper !

AFAIR there is no setting, but I it should be simple to reset coordinates with G92 ( http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#G92:_Set_Position ) to tell the printer what the current position is. So if you say "G92 Z1" you define current position to be 1 mm high and it will go down when you start printing. Just adding it to the "start gcode" should do that for every print.

For the temperature one could look what the printer's response is to M105 ...
