Hi Ben and Greg, I've come across this brief exchange. I also have a Fulcrum Minibot as of today and started test printing right away. I opened the .fff file that the manufacturer supplied for the use with Simply3D (which I don't have) - and tried to transcribe what I saw to Cura and started a hexagon mesh print (gcode file below)...well, what happened first was that the nozzle dug itself into the magnet bed mat and then didn't print but edged itself into the bed... I aborted the print obviously. (The filament was loaded properly and the test print with one of the native .gcode files on the provided SD card worked just fine, fx "vase 4.gcode"). So it seems I have similar problem for which you describe a solution just above, Greg. Unfortunately, the provided .gcode files do not have a line ";layer:0" - as far as I can tell from the .fff file though, I think the gcode is RepRap (" <firmwareTypeOverride>RepRap (Marlin/Repetier/Sprinter)</firmwareTypeOverride> ") but it isn't specified in any of the .gcode files from the manufacturer of the Minibot. For now, I'll try to find someone who owns a copy of Simply3D and would convert the .fff file into fx a .gcode file I could use with Cura... but if you have any good ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
