Probably can unplug it. I think you can disable in the front panel options also.
insert a line in the g code file containing this M146 r0 g0 b0 That will turn the lights off.
Thanks Todd!
yep lights are in the front panel settings. On/off colour settings etc
I don't have them on the flashforge - but love them on the Klic-n-print.
Why would you want to switch them off ?
The M146 command can be used to adjust color as well. I have mine set up for red while heating up, White while printing and green when the print is done. It serves no purpose other than amusement.Quote:

Ah... That makes sense. I run mine overnight all the time but I could not take the noise when I was trying to sleep in the same room.
Pretty cool did not know that. Do you know the code's for keeping it certain color's while printing?Quote:

I also found out the Flash Forge also has a control panel to let me turn off the lights from it, which is pretty handy. Just change the color to black and they turn off. :)
Pretty cool. Would you know if there is a way to slowly change between color's like a gradient? Basically, go up and down one number from 0-255 every second or so through the print.Quote:

You mean exactly like I told you ? ;-)Quote:

It's possible with enough gcode editing. I would be easier to just wire them to a controller like this one.Quote:

That would give you full control of the lights, patterns, color and strobing effects, etc
True, that could make thing's much easier :PQuote:
