Prusa Slicer Profile for Purse MK1
So I am new to Prusa slicer and would like to use this with my original MK1. The built in profiles only go back to MK2s and this profile does not work, it makes my Z axis motors hum and not move. I rebooted the printer and went back to a Simplify3d slice and it runs fine. Wondering if anyone has used Prusa Slicer with their MK1 and would be willing to share a profile or recommend a fix for the Z axis motor hum issue. Thanks in advance and be safe 🙂
RE: Prusa Slicer Profile for Purse MK1
Hi there. I know this post is old, but I just ran into the same issue with my MK1. I was able to get it to run successfully with the Prusa Slicer.
Step 1: Go into the printer settings under the "General" tab -> Change the G-Code Flavor to "RepRap/Sprinter".
Step 2: Change your Custom Start and End G-Code to the same defaults that were used in the original Slic3r software that came with the MK1. If you don't the extruder will hit your bed clips at the start of the print. I pasted the code below:
Start G-Code:
M201 X1000 Y1000 E600
M109 S[first_layer_temperature]
M92 E161.3
G28
G92 E0.0
G1 X8.0 F2000
G1 Y60.0 E4.0 F1000.0
G1 Y100.0 E8.5 F1000.0
G92 E0.0
End G-code:
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
G28 X0 ; home X axis
M84 ; disable motors
