The first print by M201

Post by khondoke »

Hello, now I just have assembled my new M201 printer. I also check all the axes motions and extruder 1 & 2. They are good, can extrude. So, now I am going to print the first print. I am using Repetier-Host. I guess, it's not possible to control the color blending (percentage) by Repetier-Host, rather I have to use the LCD. Am I right? If not, please correct me.
My main question is, I don't want to switch from one filament to another. Rather, I want, for instance, 30% filament 1 and 70% filament, the same percentage in all the print. How can I do that? Please give me step by step instruction. If it's not convenient through Repetier-Host, then tell me the instruction for LCD and SD card. Thank you very much.

Hi,
You are right,you can control the color blending only by your LCD.And i guess you want to print in single color?If it is,you just need to copy the G-code file to your SD card,then using SD card to print.And what you need to do on your LCD is to adjust the percentage of one filament to 100%,than another filament's percentage turns 0% automatically.
