Suggested fixes for Elfin/.cws about uv3dp

[MakerMatrix]

Just farting around with it to see if anything further can be learned...

Whatever regex they use does require the whole thing including the = sign, and the number on the RHS of the = sign. It can even be 0, but there has to be a number there. I tried " = z" and it failed.

Release in v0.9.1 - please try it out

for future reference i had documented about the way the gcode on the elfin worked on the github project https://github.com/opensourcemanufacturing/Nova3D-Elfin-Chitubox-Plugin/blob/master/Nova3D-Reference_Sliced_File/6-layers-test.gcode both the gcode file and the cfg where largely commented No dia quinta-feira, 6 de agosto de 2020, Jarrod Smith < [email protected]> escreveu:

I also don't believe it is utilizing the LightPWM values in the Layers{} group to modify the 'M106 S###' lines in the gcode. Here is a UVJ that has that list populated with varying per-layer LightPWM values.

Everything that's not a gcode command must be commented with semicolon ; or else will brick the print
But comments on gcode are just comment, you can remove them all and printer will print, they are just a dump of used values, printer don't need to parse them because it follows the gcode

I think the Elfin actually parses and requires at least one of the comments. I know this is not standard (dumb, even), but that is the observed behavior. I have seen that last night, and I think Vinicius noticed that before as well.

I can try it with no comments and see. That is one permutation (of dozens) that I have not tried.

[MakerMatrix]

Confirmed. The "onecomment" file prints, the "nocomments" file fails.

Can you try with only one random comment? Like ; asdasd = 0
and see if it prints?

[MakerMatrix]

I spent like 3 hours on this last night. It has to have the string:

;Number of Slices = <somenumber>

or the firmware on my Elfin will not start the print and says "Failed." The number doesn't even have to be the right number. So I have no idea what if anything it does with that line, but it needs it.

Any other comment as far as I can tell, is ignored (or at least doesn't prevent the machine from starting a print), as it should be.

[sn4k3]

Good to know.
Maybe that's used to ensure it's a .cws format and not any other malformed format or sliced with another slicer.

It's just right, thank you.
