What parameters are adjustable during the print?

While printing there are some parameters that can be changed during the printing process.
However, it is increasingly correct to create a new .gcode from the slicing software with the modified values, especially with a view to code repeatability.
- This feature only makes sense in experimental contexts and is not intended as a good practice.
- The changes made during printing will NOT be saved in the gcode which will remain intact.
- The gcode is not “split” but only read differently
- The modified parameters of Feedrate (speed) and Flow (flow) and Fan (fans) remain saved until the machine is restarted
- The modified temperature parameters are not saved at the end of the printout
Temperatures (nozzles, floor, hot chamber):
These are expressed in degrees centigrade (° C). By default those in the gcode are read.
To change them you need to:
- click the respective box on the monitoring screen.
- type the new target value on the keyboard and confirm
- check that the target temperature updates (this may take a few seconds)
TUNE menu (speed, flow, fans):
There are speed (feedrate), flow (flow) and fans (fan) values
To change them you need to:
- During printing, click on the TUNE button
- Select by clicking the parameter to be modified, it is highlighted
- Once highlighted, turn the knob on the side of the screen to change the value
- Click the knob to confirm the change.
