How to prime the extruder before printing
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2019 8:56 pm
Hi,
there is just a little problem I am facing with my 3D prints at the moment.
When the extruder heats up there is a "worm" of filament flowing down the extruder.
This leads to no filament being applied to the plate for the first seconds.
Is there a procedure (Gcode) to be added to prime the extruder for a short moment after homing the axes and the go to a position with a pin or something similar to peel the excess filament from the nozzle?
Best regards
