The UM3 uses volumetric extrusion. Most other printers use filament length.
I'm not generating Gcode for an Ultimaker 3. I created a custom machine. See below for how I have it set up. Below that image is another screenshot of the gcode side by side. Look at the last line of code, and you can see that with Cura 2.3.1(on the left), the extruder will have extruded 1/4 of the material that the Cura 21.02 Lulzbot edition extrudes(on the right). This is with all other profile settings identical between the two versions of Cura. How can this be??
Edited by GuestFirst off, the settings are definitely not the same. The left print takes 6 hours to complete, the right print takes ~5 hours to complete.
Why are you creating a custom machine in the first place? The people from Lulzbot just released a Beta of the new Cura with their machines in it.

I miss one important thing in the screenshots...
What about the setting: "material diameter"?

To try something different, I have a copy of Cura 21.02 (Lulzbot) and so I created a machine instance with the same settings and added the same part. The screenshot below shows the output Gcode. As you can see, it is extruding at a much faster rate, comparable to the Gcode file that came with my machine.
I think my next step is to uninstall Cura 2.3.1 and reinstall it again.
