E values on traditional, filament-based 3D printer signify the cumulative amount of material that’s been extruded so far, but in a pneumatic system, that amount is more reliant on pressure and the material used. They are what differentiate a travel movement from an extrusion movement. In order to extrude, your g-code must have E values. This is a print parameter that is dependent upon the bioink in use. The print speed is how fast the extruder moves while extruding material. This is a setting in slic3r and can be set independent of material type. Travel speed is how fast the extruder moves while not extruding. There are two types of speed: travel and print. F values are in terms of mm/min, so just divide by 60 to get mm/s (Ex: F300 = 5mm/s). The F values stand for feed rate, but in essence, mean the speed at which the extruder is traveling. While they can be very useful, many of them are printer-dependent and may not work on Allevi bioprinters. Everything from turning on fans to transferring file to accessing different parameters is controlled via M commands. There are hundreds of settings that control 3D printers. The printer reads this as ‘move in a straight line from my current position to these coordinates.’ M commands ‘G1’ is likely the most common command in your g-code since it codes for ‘Linear Movement.’ ‘G1’ commands are typically followed by coordinates. G commands control movement and settings that relate to movement. It’s filled with many commands useful for custom gcode printing! G commands Useful Softwareįor quick reference, download the Allevi Gcode Documentation pdf. Gcode can also be designed and typed by hand.
It’s called “slicing” because the software takes a 3D model and cuts it into many different layers that the 3D printer then extrudes on top of each other, one by one, to recreate that 3D model. The parameters specify layer height, speed, infill pattern, and many other characteristics. STL file) is “sliced” according to user-set parameters. It is usually created when a 3D model (usually in the form of a. It controls where and how the printer moves, what functions are turned on or off, and everything in between. Gcode is a plain text script that tells a 3D printer what to do, including the Allevi 1, Allevi 2, and Allevi 3 bioprinters.
