Hi All,
I built my own printer a while ago, Cartesian with fixed bed. Have printed several items successfully. Used other 3d slicing programs that had cura engines included and they printed fine. So, I wanted to try Cura 3.6 software. Have custom printer profile setup. It homes correctly, but second line of code that says Z15 lower build plate, well that tries to send my hot end through my fixed plate. Not Good.
When using Pronterface, Repeiter, or Craftware they know Z needs to go up , not down. I sure its simple, But so am I Want something non fiddley Don't want to correct G-code Pre run every time I print..
Z travel is going wrong way.
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
So.... The hardware is Ramps 1.4,
0.9 stepper motors
DRV8825 drivers
1.75 E3D Clone
Bowden tube
300x300 heated bed
Marlin 1.3.6
Linear rails for X and Y
Z is trapezoid screw x 4
Looks like a Core XY machine, but X and Y gantry move up from bed.
Would like to know how to get Cura traveling in right direction,
As in Z15 should be 15mm above my fixed bed
