Custom start code for the Voxelab Aquila with BL Touch

This start gcode should be placed within your slicer to be read before each print. One option has the BL Touch auto bed leveling system ‘probe before each print’ and the other calls upon a saved mesh. The probe before each print option will do just that, before the start of the print, after temperatures are reached, the printer will begin it’s probing grid, then start a print as normal using that probed data to adjust the nozzle height. The probing grid size is determined by your firmware.

If you choose the option that calls upon a saved mesh, then you would have had to already probed your bed and saved it to the eeprom. Generally this is done through the printer’s screen interface, where you can probe the bed and save that mesh all in one menu. However if your printer does not have that option I have attached a short print file that heats the bed to 60c, runs the probing grid, and saves it to the printer’s memory. All you need to do is save that file to an SD card, load it into the printer, and ‘print’ it like you would any other model.

Aside from the auto bed leveling parts of this Gcode, it also primes the nozzle by extruding a line on the far side of the bed before beginning the model.

If you have any questions or problems with this information, or you would like me to amend this in any way to better suit your printing needs, please DROP ME A LINE and I will be sure to get back to you!
