Just to clarify myself; the showed code without G92, was before I re-installed Cura. I will test it again and show the results.

Nope, it's all standard. What I've just done, was do a clean install of Cura 4. Now I can see the G92 codes that are needed, are indeed there. I also noticed that saving a file after slicing is done in seconds, where before it was minutes. So I guess that somewhere in the upgrade from 3.6.0 to 4.0.0, something went wrong. And despite having this in my start G-code: G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again G1 F{travel_speed} M117 Printing... The generated code was this: G1 X0 Y0 Z15 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E3 ;zero the extruded length again G1 E0 M117 Printing... And I didn't notice that G92 was missing. I would say your answer pointed right to the problem, and re-installing solved it. Thanks a lot!

I found out another thing, when I examined the gcode again. I know for that the last time the extruder reversed, the Z position was at 28. At that height, I saw that I have a blank line in my code, and nowhere else (except for the header). In the same block, the extruder value drops from 4158 to 0.04. Is this an error, or not?

Thanks for your reply. I will have a look at the SD card slot. And by pointing me in this direction, I realised that I now use a SD slot extension cable, which also may cause corrupt the data coming from the card.

Hi all, I’ve got a Anet A6 running the latest Marlin firmware, and I am using Cura 4.0.0. The last print jobs I had, after being at 80% or so from the print job, all the axes stop moving. The extruder is then retracting the filament for minutes. Then suddenly, the printing resumes. Which of course is not working, since the filament is out of the (bowden) extruder. I have taken a look at the G-code,although not too sure what I have to look for. Any ideas what to look for in the code? Or other ideas for solving this? Regards, Dick
