Hello everyone I have a P1P and I have been trying to find a way of lowering the bed for 200mm. the reason of why i want to do this is to create a YouTube video and i need a shot of the bed lowering.
I known its not possible to send the command line G1 Z-200 F600 directly to the printer, the only way I know it will be possible is adding a some gcode to the start of the printer gcode, but i dont know were exactly to place it so the extruder is in the corner (default location of the extruder).
The alternative ways i have tried are these:
Manually pushing the plate down (I know problably bad for the printer) it requires a lot of force its not smooth and the printer shakes because of the force applied
Pressing z control in printer screen makes a pause after 10mm so unusable for my needs.
Pressing z control in Bambu studio similar pause to the printer z axis control but worse
So what I’m looking for is some guidance to know were to place the “G1 Z-200 F600“ code in the start gcode of the printer and also guidance if there are extra lines of code i should add. If you know an alternative way of moving the print bed smoothly 200mm up or down let me know.
Thanks for the info, i just tried doing that today, but when i press the file to print after being homed the printer starts heating the nozzle and the bed does not lower at all or raise at all i have made two files one to lower the other to raise. I also added another file for the extruder but it didn’t do anything. so all of the three files did the same heat the nozzle to 75 and stay in the same place
I don’t understand why it is so hard. I remember the first printer i bought it was a 10 year old qidi with the slicer from from the pendrive it came with (never updated) but it had a feature were there was like a console were you saw all the gcode used and you could send gcode as esy as typing and sending. I know Bambu wants to make their printers easy to use and i like that but there should be a option to enter developer mode and be able to do things like that.
Be aware that this moves the bed relatively 200mm down. So depending upon the height of the print, this might cause you hitting the end limit at the bottom.
If a software limits is preventing you to go that low, but the printer continues (don’t know the behavior of the P1P for that matter), the 200mm upwards might crash the nozzle into the part.
Incremental motion are very good in certain occasions, but don’t take into account the physical limits of the machine.
That its correct the first time i did it i it was inverted meaning it went up first and it hit the toolhead I turned of the printer. Another small question do you guys know what the top speed is in the z axis is it f600?
