Call me a techno-feeb (because I am), but I expected to see simple menu options similar to the ones on my Original Prusa i3, i.e. "Unload Filament", "Load Filament". Been rifling through the RC6 menus and I'm not seeing anything of the sort. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You will not find any menu options for that. You have to control temperature and extruder manually to change filament.
lol i was looking for that option too. Need to come up with something to get to the back of the machine so I can change the filament.
People have written a script for it via octoprint here, but it's really simple manually. If you only use pla then the scripts work, but as I am switching pla, nylon and amphora, with a few other exotics thrown in, easier to do it manually.
I agree, it is much better to do it manually, but at least adding extruder to 10m move axis could help. Of ig you want, after the manual preheating (advisable) add in the firmware something like this MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_LOAD_FILAMENT, PSTR("G21 G F200 E10")); MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_FEED_FILAMENT, PSTR("G F1000 E1000")); MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_UNLOAD_FILAMENT, PSTR("G F1000 E-1000")); in static void lcd_prepare_menu() If course it needs to be adapted to single and dual. And to be fair it is only needed for the bowden in change of material. Direct drive not needed.
I have an original Prusa i3 (Aluminum frame too!) and mine doesn't even have that! It's about 2.5 - 3 yrs old.
I bought my Prusa in December when I realized I wouldn't be getting a BigBox in February, as promised. If you haven't checked the Prusa website recently, you might want to consider this: http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printer-parts/106-original-prusa-i3-plus-to-mk2-upgrade-kit.html Got my upgrade kit yesterday, in fact. Haven't installed it yet, but I must say it seems like a bargain at the price Good little printer, that.
yes the purse mk2 is a very interesting little printer ... if i did not have already too many and parts for two more, i would consider it
