Please can you tell me if this possible in Simplify3D. Mendel90 , when my hotend comes down to print , the hotend come all the way down and then moves to the centre of the print bed.
Rather have the Hotend move towards the center and then move down to print ?
Is this possible ?

Thanks

That sounds like a start GCode sequence to me.

In fact, if you don’t do a priming wipe, that would be the default for a Mendel90 configured for zero at bed centre.

Ok, I must have a look. Maybe I have the print wipe on. I check tonight .Thanks

By the way @Neil_Darlow Is there a way I can get the Hotend to move down first and then start warming up to printing temp. I am not sure how to write the Gcode for that, in my Startup menu.

@Vaughan_Lundin I don’t use Simplify3D so I can’t make any assumptions on how it manages GCode.

You scratch-built your Mendel90 right? In which case, did you configure it for 0,0 at front-left or 0,0 at centre? That will impact how you do this.

I am sure I got it front to left 0,0

You need to put the g code to do that in the advanced pane, scripts tab, startup sub tab. Sorry I can’t be more specific, it might be a good excuse to learn g code. The RepRap wiki has a good page on that. It sounds like you just swap two lines to address your first question.

Cool @Jeff_DeMaagd , I have a look at the start tab. Thanks
