Filament start G-code
Commands the printer runs every time it starts printing with this filament.
How it works
G-code is the set of commands the printer understands. This block is added when this filament comes in, and is used for material-specific things. In PLA Basic it has a few lines that turn on a fan depending on the bed temperature.
It can use program variables in braces, like the bed temperature.
When to change it
- Almost never: leave it as it comes.
- Only if you know what each line does and need something specific to that material.
