    Cura 4.12.1 help

    That isn't right.  The direct drive has nothing to do with the StartUp Gcode, you have the Ending Gcode grafted onto that StartUp Gcode and you aren't homing the Z (which is probably your problem).

    Once you run the M206 followed by the M500 you can take it out of the start gcode since you have saved the new setting to memory.  You should have a menu in the LCD to enter the Home Offsets directly if you need to do it again.

    The M117 lines just send a message to the LCD screen (if supported by the firmware) so you can leave those out as well.  I think the second G28 is the problem.  It should be G28 Z rather than homing the X again.

    This is my Ender 3 Pro StartUp Gcode and Ending Gcode.  It will work for your printer.

     

    Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out!!!  It is printing now and so far so good. 

    Cura 4.12.1 help

    I went into the printer settings in Cura and there was no "Start G code". I went to the Micro-Swiss website and got the code they have for the new direct drive and hot end replacement I have. We are closer. The X&Y don't over drive now, but the Z is about 1.25" off the table.

     

    Here is the code from Micro Swiss:

    G90

    G28 X0 Y0 ; home X axis

    M117 Please wait - 37%

    M206 X-5 Y-10 ; change offset

    M500 ; save settings

    G0 X0.0 Y0.0 ;

    M117 Please wait - 65%

    G4 S15 ; wait

    G28 X0 ; home X axis

    M106 S0 ; turn off cooling fan

    M104 S0 ; turn off extruder

    M140 S0 ; turn off bed

    M84 ; disable motors

    I am a very basic user and I need help. My current set up is a 2017 iMac 27" 5k with Montery OS, Ender 3 pro with Micro-swiss direct drive & hot end.

     

    I had some problems when I installed the direct drive, but got it working with some help from MicroSwiss. Then 2 weeks later and several successful prints,  I upgraded to the new Cura 4.12.1 software. When the printer reaches temp and starts moving the head to the starting point the"X" & "Y" axis motor spins for a few seconds after the table is at the end of their travel. Sounds horrible as the drive gear slips past the belt teeth. Also, "Z" starts at about 10mm for the bed and it starts to print hanging in mid air.

     

    HELP!!!! 

     

    TIA

     

    Tom,
