If you're seeking advice for your FDM printing project, consider joining our Discord channel. There, you can ask our passionate Lychee printing community for filament type recommendations.
- How can I change the filament colour mid-print?
To change the filament colour mid-print you need to check if your printer supports the M600 command which initiates the filament change procedure.
If your printer supports it, you can add this code in the printer:
Parameter —> G-Code —> Layer section :
;; IF { layer+1 == the layer you want to change the filament color }
M600 ;or any other code you might used for pausing, parking, change the color
;; ELSE
;; ENDFor questions on this topic join us on our Discord server and discuss with our passionate FDM printing community.
- Can I send G-Code to my printer directly via Wi-Fi?
As in resin printing, the process depends on your printer model. Some manufacturers may offer this possibility.
How does it work? If your filament printer is compatible, you can connect Lychee Slicer to your printer through the printer settings. Lychee Slicer can communicate with your printer using the Klipper or Octoprint apps. To learn how to send your G-Code directly to your printer via Wifi, simply follow our video tutorial.
- How can I prevent my print from falling off the plate during printing?
To prevent the frustration of failing prints and seeing them fall off the plate, here's a few tips from the Lychee team:
- Carefully clean your build plate before printing, as even a fingerprint can ruin a filament print.
- Apply an adhesive like a glue stick on the plate to improve adhesion.
- In the Lychee Slicer software, go to the Filament menu, add a brim, and modify your first layer settings to help prevent any issues.
