First layer gcode generator

The following form will create a series of five squares that you can use to live level your bed or set the Z offset. It is quick to print and features one square in the middle of the bed, with four others in the corners. You can use these to turn the levelling knobs in each corner until they are consistent, or ensure your ABL system is working if you have one in place.

Additional start gcode

If you have additional start commands, tick the box and enter the gcode. This can be used for an extruder prime sequence, overwriting the standard flow rate, compensating for 2.85/3.00 mm filament, setting K factor and more. Tick the box for more details.

For the majority of users, you can skip this section. Any gcode entered here will be inserted after temperatures are set and homing is complete. Start gcode is saved by the browser, you should only have to enter it once. Example uses include:

-
    -
  • Copying gcode commands from your slicer to draw an intro/prime/purge line. By default this is left out to accommodate delta printers.
    • -
  • Telling the firmware to alter the flow rate of the gcode to follow. This does not mean the exact flow rate you have set in your own slicer. For example, using M221 S120 would set the flow rate to 120% of what it was originally sliced as in Simpilfy3D. Use this to compensate for obvious over or under extrusion you may encounter with these tests. Additional information available at the base of the Flow Rate tab.
    • -
  • M221 S38 can also be used to compensate for 2.85 mm filament and M221 S34 for 3.00 mm filament instead of the default 1.75 mm.
    • -
  • Setting the K factor for linear advance. For example, M900 K0.11

  • Custom ABL sequence. By default, only G28 is present. This gcode will be inserted immediately afer that so custom commands can be used here.

I can't translate my test results to my own slicer! Other factors beyond the scope of this test - Important!

The following form will create a retraction tower to conveniently test back to back parameters in the same print. Of the three available parameters, it is best to change only one per test print. For example, keep the retraction speed and extra restart distance the same, but vary the retraction distance over each segment. Changing more than one parameter makes is hard to tell what made the difference. The print is quick, so repeat the test varying other parameters until you are happy with them all.

Here is the STL if you would like to slice a similar test yourself: retractiontestv2.stl. This file has been updated to V2, which changes the external shape from circular to pentagonal. It is also slightly shorter to print faster. The original file is still available here: retractiontest.stl
