In the 3D printing world, the initial setup of your print is just as important as the model you’re trying to bring to life. One of the most critical and often overlooked components of this setup is the Start G-code, a set of instructions that prepares your 3D printer for the actual print. Whether you use Orca Slicer, a feature-rich slicing software that is based on Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer, or another slicer, understanding and customizing the Start G-code can be the key to better prints and a smoother workflow.

In this article, we will go deep into what is Start G-code, why it’s important for perfect prints, how to edit it in Orca Slicer, and how to customize it for any 3D printer. We will also explain the Start G-code in the well-known Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro in Orca Slicer as an example for better understanding.

By the end of this article, you will know how Start G-code works, how to tweak it for best results, and how to use advanced techniques like Klipper macros to make your G-code simpler more readable and easier to update.

Ever seen those little strings hanging off your 3D print like tiny spider webs? Or the nozzle scratching over a beautiful layer? If you’ve experienced these issues, you’re not alone—and there’s a fix. Enter Z-Hop, a feature in Orca Slicer that will take your 3D prints from good to great.

Whether you’re new to 3D printing or a hobbyist, getting the settings right makes a huge difference. In this guide, we’ll be exploring Z-Hop—what it is, how to use it, and why it’s a game changer.

Let’s get started!

Descripción general del avance de presión​

Imagina que dibujas con un bolígrafo que a veces derrama demasiada tinta y otras casi nada. En la impresión 3D, algo similar podría ocurrir cuando la impresora se mueve rápidamente y cambia de velocidad: puede afectar la cantidad de plástico que sale.

Pero, ¿por qué a veces tu impresora se equivoca con la cantidad de plástico que sale?

En una impresora 3D, el filamento sale según la presión dentro de la boquilla. Es como una manguera de jardín: se necesita suficiente presión de agua para que salga. Cuando la impresora acelera o desacelera, como al tomar una curva, la presión de la boquilla tarda un poco en compensarse. Si la impresora se mueve demasiado rápido y demasiado pronto, no sale suficiente filamento. Y si desacelera demasiado rápido, sale demasiado. Esto puede hacer que las esquinas de la impresión se vean un poco desordenadas porque la impresora no ajustó el flujo de filamento correctamente a los cambios de velocidad.

Y aquí es donde interviene el Avance de Presión. Es una función inteligente que compensa estos cambios, garantizando la extrusión de la cantidad correcta de filamento al aumentar o disminuir la velocidad de la impresora. Con el Avance de Presión, la impresora gestiona mejor las transiciones de velocidad, lo que resulta en impresiones más suaves y nítidas, especialmente en las esquinas más difíciles.

Introducción a la prueba de torre de temperatura con OrcaSlicer​

La impresión 3D es una tecnología fascinante que permite crear objetos físicos a partir de modelos digitales. Sin embargo, para obtener los mejores resultados, es necesario ajustar la configuración de la impresora y optimizar los parámetros del filamento. Uno de los factores más importantes que afecta la calidad de las impresiones es la temperatura.

La temperatura afecta la fluidez, la fusión y la adhesión del filamento a las capas anteriores. Si la temperatura es demasiado baja, el filamento podría no extruirse correctamente, lo que resultaría en una extrusión insuficiente, mala adhesión y piezas débiles. Si la temperatura es demasiado alta, el filamento podría rezumar, formar hilos o deformarse, lo que provocaría una extrusión excesiva, manchas y deformaciones.

Para encontrar la temperatura óptima para su filamento, debe realizar una prueba de torre de temperatura.

Introduction​

Imagine you've spent hours waiting for a 3D print to finish, only to find it has these unexpected and unwanted stripes or lines across it. This issue, known as Z banding, is a common headache in 3D printing. It's like when you're drawing a straight line but your ruler keeps slipping, leaving you with a jagged line instead of a smooth one. Z banding can make your 3D printed objects look striped instead of having a smooth, even surface.

But why should we care about fixing this? Well, these lines are not just a cosmetic problem. They can make your 3D printed items weaker and less functional. Think of it like building a tower with blocks; if the blocks aren't lined up properly, the tower won't be as strong. That's why it's important for anyone using a 3D printer, whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, to understand how to tackle this issue. This guide is here to help you do just that, turning those frustrating lines into a thing of the past and helping you get the best results from your 3D printing projects.
