V1 Logo Klipper Adaptive Purge

Mostly Printed 3D Printer - MP3DP Hardware Development
1

I have somewhat recently started using Klipper. One of the first things I researched and set up was Adaptive Mesh and Adaptive Purge.

For KAMP(the original adaptive mesh and purge), there exists a purge shaped like the Voron logo.

It didn’t feel right purging a Voron logo on a V1 printer, so I figured why not a V1 logo?

The macro below has been tested by me quite a bit as it is configured with a 0.6 nozzle on both of my printers.

There are some variables at the top that can be changed to tune the purge to your liking.

Requirements for Adaptive Purge

  1. You will need [exclude_object] defined in printer.cfg.
  2. You will need to make sure your slicer is labeling objects

If these are not properly configured, the purge will still work, however the origin of the purge will always be set to (0,0), rather than purging near the print itself.

Great Job @Michael_Melancon Its been working well on my V4!

That’s cool. I have a line on the front of my print bed. I don’t know where I got the idea.

I love it… and thank you for the details on how to do it that are written well enough for even me to follow!

Is there a reason for using both the purge AND the brim?

I’ve always just used the brim around my prints to purge the nozzle before starting the print.

not really. It’s mostly a holdover from my standard profile I’ve been using for the last few years with no type of auto bed leveling.

So I would purge to make sure the filament was ready to go, and then the skirt loops were to let me make sure it was going to stick to the bed all the way around and give me time to turn my screws and adjust, I just haven’t fully adjusted to the new world yet.

2 months ago was the first time I was not manually checking my bed level on every print :grin:

Heh. I feel this.

I don’t use a brim on most prints. I don’t like to clean them off.

The skirt could be used as a purge. But if the prusa profiles have a 3 layer height skirt. If you do that, you could have it come off and ruin your print. Those are the nit picky reasons to have a purge, skirt, and brim separately.

I use a very small skirt. It’s a single layer, 3 laps around the part, 5 mm offset.
