If I tell Cura 2.5 that I'm using an UM2+, the gcode will be correct, no?
No the e-steps is a firmware thing...
(it can be overridden with GCode, but it is not a common practice)
Ok thanks.

Attention, the direction of rotation of the feeder must be changed!
Normally this is done over the firmware update.

Good point.
And you cannot change that with G-Code...
You could swap the cables of the stepper, but waiting on a solution for the firmware is probably easier...
Thanks guys, believe it or not I was actually aware of the stepper motor direction issue - however that's what I thought the G-Code mod was for! Clearly not.
OK, so can I safely install the new hot end, but wait until later for the feeder? Everything else, the heaters, the new thermocouple, everything at the hot end of the UM2+ upgrade kit will be OK with firmware Vers:_15.04.5?
Thanks again,
Matt.
Temperature sensor is a PT100 on both version, not a thermocouple.
But yes, you can safely upgrade the hot end and keep the same firmware.
Beg your pardon, temperature sensor.
Thank you both for the advice - as you'll see in the aforementioned thread, the firmware issue is sorted.
Cheers,
Matt.

The feeder needs a different e-step setting.
So you can either stay with the old feeder until your firmware issue is solved, or add a
in your GCode to adjust the e-steps manually
