I'm using cura 3.2.1 on my anet a8 and I'm having problems with my gcode. Because of the udapte (I think it's because of that), there is 2 gcode section, one for the machine (start/end gcode) and one for the extruder (extruder start/end gcode), the problem is that when I try to find a g-code for my printer on the internet I only find one (start/end) g-code, it's not separated in two section and I don't know what to put in each section
Here is my start gcode :
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
G1 Z15.0 F3600 ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F3600
M117 Printing...
end :
M104 S0 ;extruder heater off
M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it)
G91 ;relative positioning
G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting
the nozzle, to release some of the pressure
G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 ;move Z up a bit and retract
filament even more
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head
is out of the way
G1 X0 Y+180 F3600 ;move buildplate forward
M84 ;steppers off
G90 ;absolute positioning
What should I put in both section ?
At this point, what my printer does is home, start the skirt, randomly goes at the Y axes end, keep doing the skirt and randomly goes at the X axes end..
