Hey Folks, I lost access to the laptop that I had been doing my slicing on. I have a new laptop that I am now using with the same version of Cura (4.2.1), using the same STL files, Same 3d printer. I have a gcode that i saved ,on the original laptop. that prints perfect. Re-slicing this file on the new laptop using the same STL files and importing the profile from the existing working file generates a gcode that doesn't print well. So I'm thinking some settings come across in the import of the profile. Looking at the end of the gcode where the profile is stored I can see some differences but I don't know a good way to read it.
Does each of the \\ indicate a different variable?
Thanks for any help provided
Here is the end of the gcode of the working file
