Pre Print nozzle purge

Posted · Pre Print nozzle purge

Hi,

I have 4 UM2 printers all running on the same version of firmware yet they don't all do the same thing when it comes to their pre print routine.

Once the bed and nozzle have reached temp and the build plate rises to begin printing I am seeing the following on different printers

1. The nozzle will purge (dispense material) onto the front left hand corner of the glass and then printing begins

2. The nozzle will purge while moving to the start position of the print job

3. No purge will happen

Is anybody else seeing get these differences while running the same version of firmware?

Is this a friend ware issue or does this get setup somewhere else?

    Is this with the same GCode-file? Are files prepared with cura, if so, which version and have you set the GCode flavour to UltiGcode for all machines? Have you tried doing a factory reset on the printers?

    Different GCodes but I have never setup these in cura outside of layer thickness etc.

    I am using two different versions of cura depending on which laptop I use. I will take a look at the setup of both and report back if I need more assistance.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
