Cura not replacing tokens when TinyG code is included in start script

Posted · Cura not replacing tokens when TinyG code is included in start script

Hello!

I have a printrbot simple with the new G2 board (32bit TinyG board). This board requires some TinyG commands to be run BEFORE heating up the heatbed (to enable the heat bed). The problem is that the TinyG command to enable the heatbed seems to break the token replacement code in Cura. Here is a snippet of my start script:

M100.1 ({he3e:t})
M140 S{material_bed_temperature}
M104 S{material_print_temperature}
M109 S{material_print_temperature}
M100.1 ({{g55z:-3.2}}) ;Z-probe offset
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning

and here is the resulting GCode:

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:1995
;Filament used: 1.38607m
;Layer height: 0.1
;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 2.7.0
M100.1 ({he3e:t})
M140 S{material_bed_temperature}
M104 S{material_print_temperature}
M109 S{material_print_temperature}
M100.1 ({{g55z:-3.2}}) ;Z-probe offset
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning

Now here is the generated GCode if I remove

M100.1 ({he3e:t})

from the start script:

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:1995
;Filament used: 1.38607m
;Layer height: 0.1
;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 2.7.0
M140 S60
M104 S200
M109 S200
M100.1 ({g55z:-3.2}) ;Z-probe offset
G21 ;metric values
G90 ;absolute positioning

Seems pretty clear - I'm betting the curly brackets are throwing off the GCode parser. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because I have to manually edit my generated gcode files in order to print.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
