Chamber Temperature Control

OrcaSlicer use M141/M191 command to control active chamber heater.

If Activate temperature control is checked, OrcaSlicer will insert M191 command at the beginning of the gcode(before Machine G-code).

Note

If the machine is equipped with an auxiliary fan, OrcaSlicer will automatically activate the fan during the heating period to help circulate air in the chamber.

Using Chamber Temperature Variables in Machine G-code

You can use chamber temperature variables in your Machine G-code to control the chamber temperature manually, if desired:

• To set the chamber temperature to the value specified for the first filament:

  M191 S{chamber_temperature[0]}
  

• To set the chamber temperature to the highest value specified across all filaments:

  M191 S{overall_chamber_temperature}
  

Klipper

If you are using Klipper, you can define these macros to control the active chamber heater. Bellow is a reference configuration for Klipper.

Important

Don't forget to change the pin name/values to the actual values you are using in the configuration.
