Hello Ryan,

Sorry, I fixed that before my holiday but forgot to upload a new release.
My apologies for the delay, a new version is now available in the member section!

Hi Johannes,

No worries. Thanks for fixing it. It's now working for me.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hello,

Here's an example that I think we produced before. I'm not at my main PC, so I couldn't verify it, but I'm pretty sure that's the right file.
It looks like this:

Code: [Select]

G1 X187.993 Y102.063 E1.9422
G1 X189.27 Y103.839 E1.971

yes, E is how much the extruder extrudes in mm
but the extruder on my tool is set to extrude at constant speed, and only extrudes when it receives signal from D32 on the robot.
So what I'm wondering is if it's possible to convert the E in the gcode to D32?
.
I'm also curious as to by default, what does the component expect in the Gcode for the extrusion mode? I could probably modify the gcode to match?

Hello,

In your G-code example, is E the target speed of the extruder? It seems that we have mostly dealt with distance values before, i.e. the G-code defines how many mm of filament to extrude, not how fast to move stepper motor.

Johannes

Hello,

It's cumulative for all files in the robot folder, so it makes sense to keep it clean.
If you want larger files, there are a few options...
...KUKA.CNC (KRC4 only)
...KUKA CamRob (KRC2, not officially available for KRC4 anymore)
...PointLoader (https://www.orangeapps.de/?lng=en&page=apps%2Fpointloader - third party product, haven't been able to test it yet. You will need to adjust the KRL output a tiny bit, get in touch if you will test it).
...or live-streaming via mxAutomation, though it might choke with the high point density of 3D printing files.

And you can of course also try to reduce the complexity of the toolpath.

Best,
Johannes

So i'm doing some complicated tool paths for a large 3d print.
and I've ran into the 8mb file limit problem.
I thought that if i split the file up into smaller files of <8mb i'd be fine, but the 8mb is accumulative not by file.
Just wondering how others are getting around this problem?

(There's about 5 millions line of instructions, totalling around 100 something mb)
