Has anyone had success with getting the 3D chameleon working on the creality K1? I would really like to get a system like this for my K1 but haven't seen anyone using it yet.
I don't see anything wrong with it. When you say it's giving you an out of bounds error, I don't even know exactly what that means... Can you be more specific? Have you really got the X axis at -5? Also, your G8 while it's waiting for the filament to change is too long... It shouldn't take more than 1.5 seconds for that.
Can you post a picture or better, video, of the error happening so I can see which command it's erroring on?
I've tried changing files to see if that was the issue but the problem happens with any stl file I use. Like I mentioned, it seems to work just fine until I add the mode 3 section then it wont slice for some reason. Before adding the mode 3 section even with the X at -5 it would slice no problem so im unsure where its getting the error from.
I think I got it sorted out. I forgot to include the code to set the extruder to relative mode. Seems to slice fine now. Just need to test it now and see if that works.
I only support PrusaSlicer directly, but Bambu and all the forks of both of them should still work without issue... it's just that there are so many I have no idea what someone is using... When I say PrusaSlicer, if it works there, it should work in it's forks. I've never even heard of Galaxy Slicer, in fact.
I see nothing wrong this this gcode (except the note below)... are you sure you're not failing somewhere else? When you say it's not working... what specifically are you seeing? Also, if you're using Mode 3, why do you have such a short movement... 8 seconds indicates 8 inches... there's no way that can be valid... Mode 2 moves 10 inches... and Mode 3 is designed for longer distances. The path from top of the Y adapter to the extruder must be 10" or greater for the 3DChameleon to work. If you're really only at 8", then you should use Mode 2 directly.
This was in regard to the comment on my own post where i was asking about help with the g code for the tool change. I had seen you say you were out of town so I figured you had been occupied with that

There's nothing special about the K1... it's just a normal installation.
Here are the printed files you need. (Really, it's just the mount.) https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6moW310GzKZ-3dchameleon-for-creality-k1 And here's a picture of the switch mounted to the K1 using our standard NEMA 17 switch mount.
As for the GCode, you can use our Mk3 GCode Generator out of the box.
