Hi, the next release of Cura adds a setting to choose either relative or absolute extrusion mode. By default, it will stay as absolute for all gcode flavours except RepRap which will be relative mode by default. Be aware that not all printer firmwares can cope with relative extrusion (the Ultimaker machines being an example!)
Thank you both for the help! I changed the extrusion mode from relative back to absolute and that solved the problem. I'm now able to print normally, but I notice the nozzle seems to be clogging much more frequently than before I used Cura. I slowed down print speeds to around 40mm/s (which was Slic3r's default setting) but it hasn't made much of a difference in preventing clogs. Do I have to adjust my retraction settings as well?
In any case, I'll look forward to the next version that will allow me to use relative mode as I think that may work better for the MK2S. Thanks again for the help!

Welcome @Vespyr!
Cura always uses absolute coordinates for the extruder axis (at least i see no option to change this). I assume, an M82 at the end of your start script would be a good idea...
