Postprocessing scripts

Several postprocessing Scripts are included into the plugin to help the user to generate automaticaly the differents Towers.

• RetractTower.py
• SpeedTower.py
• TempFanTower.py
• FlowTower.py

These scripts can be copied into the scripts directory via the function Copy Scripts

After the next start the scripts must be visible in the Postprocessing scripts list.

TempFanTower.py

Description: postprocessing-script to easily define an Temptower and not use 10 changeAtZ-scripts

The default values are set for this temptower PLA model PLA TempTower 220 - 180°C . (With a layer height of 0.2 mm)

• Possibility to define also a Fan Tower , Fan percentage speed are indicated with semi-colon as separator.

You can use the Fan Speed with a temptower. It's mainly used with PETG, with PLA fan speed is set to 100% most of the times. To use it try to find the best temperature for your filament. And then in the Fan values field you can define the fan speed sequence Ie: 30;25;20;15;10;5;0

In some case you would try to analyse the difference between 3 different temperatures and 3 Fan speeds.

SpeedTower.py

Description: postprocessing-script to easily define a Speed Tower.

Five options : - Speed : Speed variation (M220 S)

       - Jerk   :  Jerk variation (M204 S) 

       - Acceleration :  Acceleration variation (M205 X Y) 

       - Junction Deviation :  Junction Deviation variation (M205 J) 

       - Marlin Linear  :  Marlin Linear Advance (M900 K)

       - RepRap Pressure  : RepRap Pressure Advance (M572 D0 S)

RetractTower.py

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a Retract Tower

Two options :

- Speed    :  Speed variation

- Distance :  Distance retract variation

FlowTower.py

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a Flow Tower The default values are defined for this Flow Tower model : FlowTower Nozzle 0.4 / Layer height 0.2

• FlowTower from 110% to 90%
  • Using Set Flow percentage : Flow percentage (M221 S)

Note

!!! After the use of the Post Processing script, don't forget to remove it for your next project !!!
