Cura profile?
-
@dirtbikes987 Where did you see the z-offset from mattercontrol after bed leveling?
Also has anyone got a gcode version of auto bed leveling working?
-
If anyone has a working Cura profile for the Pulse, could you post it somewhere? I'd love to use Cura as the slicer for this printer.
-
Sorry for the delayed response. Once you do an autolevel in mattercontrol, there is a screen you can go into where it will list out your z values ( I forget where it is). From that you can tell how out of level your bed is.

Hey @dirtbikes987
I dropped you a message in the other forum post, take a look and let me know what you have.

I've been talking with MatterHackers support and they sent me some starting G-Code that you can use assuming you have a 'D' model Pulse. (I think the sticker is on the back of the gantry with the model number)
I have not yet had a chance to test it yet, but this is what they sent:
G28 ; home all axes
M280 P0 S160 ; clear probe status
M280 P0 S10 ; deploy probe
G29 ; run firmware mesh leveling
M280 P0 S90 ; retract probe
G1 X15 Y10 Z0.8 F1800 ; move to front corner of bed
G92 E0 ; reset extruder position
G1 X100 Z0.3 E20 F900 ; purge hot end
G92 E0 ; reset extruder position
G1 E-2 F3600 ; retract filamentYou can change or delete anything after "M280 P0 S90" if you don't want to use the purge line.

hey - i tried to put my Pulse back into operation again a couple of months ago and ended up just printing things that could slice in matter control... so the printer went out of operation pretty quickly.
i am going to use this forum to try to get it going with cura again!
question: do we not have the ability to set the z off-set in the firmware?
-
@rsteel517 how do we manage z offset with this gcode?
-
i really wish you guys would not be so vague here: you say what to do - could you post the values and the gcode to set the settings?
its clear that the community wants to use Cura (at least some of us) - maybe help us?
-
FWIW you probably can slice it in CURA and then run it through MC. It works that way with SLIC3R which I use. They want you to use MC at all costs it seems as that question has been around for as long as I have the Pulse. I think the question is how you bed level the pulse w/o MC MC adds/subtracts the offsets based on the table of the matrix it stored
Here is my start code that works in SLIC3R
G28 ; home all axesM200 D1.75 ; Volumetric set to 1.75mm filament remove this line as cura does not do volumetric I think
M104 S[temperature]
M190 S[bed_temperature]
M109 S[temperature]

PurgeG92 E0
G0 X5 Y5 Z1.2 F1800G1 X230 E50 Z1.2 F900
G92 E0You might have to check some of the variable names in []
This is my end code
; Retract and move away
G91
G1 E-[retract_length] F1200
G90
G0 X5 Y210 F1200
G28 Z0M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heat bed
M106 S0 ; turn off layer fanM84 ; disable motors
Make sure you set the bed correctly with 0,0 in the front left corner. Now if someone figures a manual leveling procedure out for this probably involving g29 in some form I'd be happy as I removed the bltouch as I got tired of getting the leg ripped off every time a print curls or disloges

G29 does not work on the pulse they must have disabled it in the firmware
