Description
While this template is designed for use with my Sovol Sv06 Plus Spring steel build plate, it can be used with any bed.
(With the caveat you will need to edit the Custom Starting G-code.)
I bought these from Amazon, but you can find them in a bunch of different places.
They are 37mm long, 8mm wide and 4.3mm in height
Simply place the template on the back left corner of your print (
I tested this on the Sovol Sv06 Plus and it doesn't interfere with any auto leveling or nozzle pathing.)
It has been designed so the sticker is:
7mm from the Left
10.5mm from the Rear
The G-Code
***Use at your own risk and make a backup of any current custom G-code before saving.
I am not responsible for any harm to the printer or person by using the below code.
This is a snippet of my custom start G-code cleaning operation (for Sovol SV06 Plus), you can use the below lines as a guide, (Change the co-ordinates for the lines with the 'Zig Zag' note) or use the entire
G-code (pasted later) if you are running a Sovol Sv06 Plus.
This can go anytime after your homing function. (G28)
