How to prime extruder using SD card?

[hcdbey]

I can't seem to find a way to prime the extruder when using the SD card and not connected to a computer. Can anyone make a suggestion?

I push down on the red lever and manually push the filament. Be careful not to kink it as it might break under the force.

Can't you just create a GCode file to extrude a certain amount of filament?

ie:

Code: Select all

G91 ;relative movement 
G1 E5 F300 ;extrude 5mm at 300mm/min 
G90 ;absolute movement

Thanks for the search technique and the GCode for extrusion. I'll try both.
