One Last Question For a While.....

Is there a way to turn off the light? LOL

Thanks in advance!

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.

Pretty cool did not know that. Do you know the code's for keeping it certain color's while printing?

The M146 command addresses the lights. The RGB values are adjusted from 0 to 255. For example M146 R255 B0 G0 would be a red light and M146 R0 B255 G0 would be blue. If you wanted purple it would be a mix of red and blue such as M146 R225 B225 G0.

Depending on what slicer you are using you can put the color change sequences at certain intervals such as pre-heat, print and post print.

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.

If you're into editing a long G-code file, you probably could insert the G146 command randomly throughout the file to produce many effects. Maybe a different color depending on the direction of the axis movements? (aka Disco 3D printing....)

Also, printing in the same room you sleep? Talk about "white noise"

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

That would give you full control of the lights, patterns, color and strobing effects, etc

Thanks Todd!

Thanks Todd!

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.
