Running Portabee GO v1 from MacOs
I’m finally entering the world of 3D printing. After having printed a small piece and payed quite some money, I decided to go for neighbouring resources. A colleague of mine has a small Portabee Go v1, so I decided to try it out.
Since it resulted quite hacky to get it printing something, I decided to take some notes for future reference.
Todo list:
- install software as documented by portabee (if you are under MacOs install 2014 version of printrun, the 2015 doesn’t work)
- open cura
- open model
- export gcode
- from the created gcode remove line: M109 S210.000000
- remove also the last lines where the carried is moved to home position:
- open gcode in printurn
- (in printrun)
- connect
- reset TWICE
- start the fan: M106
- set temperature
Changing values of printing velocity in Cura helps a lot with the quality of the print (to be honest, quite low for this model of printer). HTH
