Continuous loop 3D printing

Template Documentation

By modifying the template you can add support for other printers or change G-code generation logic. This requires understanding template syntax and G-code structure for 3D printing. If unsure, use the standard template. How the G-code loops is 100% determined by the template.

Overview

Templates use Go's text/template syntax with {{.VariableName}} to generate G-code for continuous loop printing.

Variables

{{.Request.Iterations}} - Total iterations
{{.Request.WaitBedCooldownTemp}} - Bed cooldown temp (°C)
{{.Request.WaitMin}} - Wait time (minutes)
{{.Request.ExtraExtrude}} - Extra extrusion (mm)
{{.Config.parameter_name}} - Printer config parameters
{{.Positions.FirstPrintX/Y/Z}} - First print coordinates
{{.Positions.LastPrintX/Y/Z}} - Last print coordinates
{{.Positions.AveragePrintX/Y}} - Average print coordinates (center of all print moves)
{{.Positions.MinPrintX/Y}}, {{.Positions.MaxPrintX/Y}} - Min/Max print coordinates (bounding box of all print moves)

Functions & Patterns

Math: add, sub, mul, max

Conditionals

{{if eq .Iteration 1}} ; First iteration only {{end}} {{if gt .Request.WaitBedCooldownTemp 0}} M190 R{{.Request.WaitBedCooldownTemp}} {{end}}

Common Usage

; Move to start position G1 X{{.Positions.FirstPrintX}} Y{{.Positions.FirstPrintY}} F3000 ; Wait time G4 S{{mul .Request.WaitMin 60}}

PLEASE NOTE: The first layer area should be small enough for easy pushing item from the table.
