Hi I'm new and looking for a Lulzbot Mini Profile!

[Brian Richard]

Has anyone done work on a profile for that particular machine?      We're still running stock hotends on ours. 

I'd love to put this software to work but I'd need a workable profile for a Mini. 

Or a Flashforge Dreamer.  That's a bit more of a challenge I'd hazard.  

If someone has come up with it already can you point me in the right direction?  

If not,   where do we begin?

Hello,

I think that Flashforge dreamer and creator pro are almost identical to my Qidi Tech X-Pro so you could try that profile.

Beaware that I've not used my X-Pro lately and thus the profile has not been updated recently. Also take a close look at the first print since it's still a profile for a different printer and things might not suit perfectly your Flashforge.

In the worst case scenario you should get away with few modification of the X-Pro profile anyway.

Haven't had much time to poke this since July.      Still  no Lulzbot Mini profile out there?

I spent the evening reading up on how to create profiles and needless to say-- I have nooo idea where to begin.

I wrote the LulzBot Taz 6 profile which would probably be a good place to start for a LulzBot Mini profile. IceSL has a good tutorial on what is needed to create a new profile. Obvious changes like physical geometry should be simple. The header.gcode and footer.gcode were almost exact copies of the start_gcode and end_gcode from CuraLE for the LulzBot Taz 6. Substitute the CuraLE gcode for the Mini and you should be close.

 

It just takes someone with 1) the desire to have an IceSL profile and 2) a LulzBot Mini to test with. Number 2 is, IMO, critical to achieve success.

So lets break it down into chunks.

I need to change the dimensions of the print bed and the Z-height.

Extruder is a bog standard original Mini extruder.

In order to operate the printer needs to warm up,  wipe at a specific location,  then run the probe cycle.    

Then the print cycle begins.


First task is to take apart your profile and figure out the dimensions,   which I think I can do.   

Not sure what I need to do in regards to the extruder if anything.

The hard part will be doing the warm/wipe/probe calls,  which I'll probably need community help with once I get there.

I'll work on this over the holiday and report back.

The “extruder” settings you talk about are contained in the start gcode (header.gcode) and the end gcode (footer.gcode). I generated these files (for my TAZ 6) by extracting them from CuraLE which I assume is your current slicer. You will need to do the same for your Mini.

 

There are multiple “flavors” of a LulzBot Mini each of which has a pre-defined profile in CuraLE. Without knowing the details of your Mini and your version of CuraLE, I can’t provide more specific instructions.
