Tevo Little Monster prime blob

prusaprinters

<p>Having a prime blob on a Delta printer is somewhat tricky if you don't want to sacrifice too much printing space. For mine, I decided to split it into four movement commands along the outer edge of the base plate, stealing no more than 3 mm of the plate's outer edge on the front side (see picture) and keeping the amount of coordinates in manageable limits.</p><p><strong>How to use it:</strong><br>Download the two .txt files attached. Note that the .stl file is <strong>not</strong> needed; I just attached this for visualisation purposes (You may still use the .stl file to adapt the blob code for other delta printers).<br>Simply open one of the two .txt files in a text editor, copy the whole content and paste it <strong>at the end</strong> of the start code in your slicer's printer settings for the Little monster.</p><p>There are two versions of the file: <strong>"Prime Blob for regular filament"</strong> has an increasing filament flow and is suited for most kinds of filament. <strong>"Prime Blob for oozing filament"</strong> has a decreasing filament flow and is somewhat better for filaments that have a strong oozing tendency (like ABS or LW-PLA). I suggest to use it in an additional/alternative set of printer settings - if you prefer to have a one-for-all settings file, you'll be fine with the "regular" type.</p><p>You may change the E values in the four "Prime Blob" code lines to alter the amount of filament extruded in each step individually.</p><p>Note that the area where the blob is printed can't be blocked out for printing STL files by means of start code. You may want to block the outer edge of the base plate by entering a 3 mm lower radius in the geometry settings, but I would suggest not to do so since thus you sacrifice those 3 mm for the whole 360° printing surface circle.</p><p>Use at your own risk and responsibility. Do not use these files if you do not understand what the G-code commands contained are good for. <strong>Warning:</strong> Do not try to use this with any printer other than the Tevo Little Monster. By doing so, you would risk to severely damage your printer.</p>
