PAM for RatOS

Print Area Mesh for RatOS

Adds dynamic mesh calibration to your RatOS printer and meshes only the area where your object is located.

PAM doesnt support any RatOS Alpha or Beta Version!

• works out of the box with any printer running RatOS
• respects all RatOS probe and mesh settings

1. Install

SSH into your Raspberry PI and execute:

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/HelgeKeck/pam.git
bash ~/pam/install.sh

2. Activate

Add this to the overwrite section at the end of your printer.cfg file.

# PAM
[include pam/pam.cfg]

3. Modify your slicers start print g-code

• PrusaSlicer / SuperSlicer

MESH_CONFIG X0={first_layer_print_min[0]} Y0={first_layer_print_min[1]} X1={first_layer_print_max[0]} Y1={first_layer_print_max[1]}
START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[first_layer_temperature] BED_TEMP=[first_layer_bed_temperature]

• Ideamaker

MESH_CONFIG X0={print_pos_min_x} Y0={print_pos_min_y} X1={print_pos_max_x} Y1={print_pos_max_y}
START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP={temperature_extruder1} BED_TEMP={temperature_heatbed}

• Simplify 3D V5

MESH_CONFIG X0=[build_min_x] Y0=[build_min_y] X1=[build_max_x] Y1=[build_max_y]
START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[extruder0_temperature] BED_TEMP=[bed0_temperature]

• Cura

MESH_CONFIG X0=%MINX% Y0=%MINY% X1=%MAXX% Y1=%MAXY%
START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP={material_print_temperature_layer_0} BED_TEMP={material_bed_temperature_layer_0}

To make PAM work with Cura you need to install a post processing plugin

1. in cura open menu Help -> Show configuration folder
2. copy MeshPrintSize.py into the scripts folder
3. restart cura
4. in cura open menu Extensions -> Post processing -> Modify G-Code and select Mesh Print Size

4. Update
