  1. Can someone explain why I am getting an extra retraction command right before my skirt starts? When I print, the filament doesn't print for sometime because of the extra retraction. I have tried it in both 3.4.1 and 3.5. Maybe I have a setting that is checked or set wrong. Below is my gcode from 3.5.0

    I have also attached the project file.

  2. If you want to set the extruder temperature in your Start G-code, you need to define it as {material_print_temperature, <extruder#>}. So, to set the print temperature for extuder #1 the code would be:
     

    M104 S{material_print_temperature, 0} T0 ;Set extruder 1 to print temperature

    M109 S{material_print_temperature, 0} T0 ;Stabilize extruder 1 print temperature

     

    For extruder #2:

     

    M104 S{material_print_temperature, 1} T1 ;Set extruder 2 to print temperature

    M109 S{material_print_temperature, 1} T1 ;Stabilize extruder 2 print temperature

  3. I am still getting the same error as before. Cura is telling me that it cannot open files of that type. I am trying to open an Autodesk Inventor ipt file from Inventor 2016. I tried your v4 and v5 package. Is there something specific I should check for. Maybe I am doing something wrong. 

  4. I don't know if it was okay before. I wasn't trying to print anything until I got the correct temp in the gcode. Now I need to figure out why my printer is not printing the complete first layer. Using different slicers doesn't generate the same problem. I need to first determine if there is a problem created when I convert the gcode to X3G or if it is the gcode the is the problem. I am not really sure where to start yet. I need to do some research.

  5. I was able to get the correct temperature pulled into my gcode using {material_print_temperature, <extruder number>} (thank you, ahoeben). The problem I am having at the moment is that the filament isn't coming out of the nozzle for the first several passes on the first layer. I am not sure where that issue is even addressed yet.

  6. I am experiencing the issue in 3.5. When I try to define my print temperature in my start gcode, it always sets to 210C for both extruders. The code I am using for my extruder temperature setting is:

    M104 S{material_print_temperature} T0

    M104 S{material_print_temperature} T1

     

    Here is the resulting gcode:

    M104 S210 T0

    M104 S210 T1

     

    I have set (using the GUI) extruder 1 to 235C and extruder 2 to 200C. Am I using the correct variable, {material_print_temperature}, in my startup code?
