random tool change moves in cura 3.4.1

Posted (edited) · random tool change moves in cura 3.4.1

I have been using cura 3.4.1 for my dual extruder reprap machine and have been using the change tool gcode for moving the nozzles off the print why they heat up.

 

The print works fine, but then randomly, I will get a move that sends the print head crashing into either the X or Y or both endstops.

 

This random crashes did not occur prior to the use of the tool change code and there are many tool changes thoughout the print. But somewhere during the print, could be hours into it, the heads will crash.

 

Has anyone else experienced this and if so can you supply a solution?

 

The tool change does nothing more than move the head to the X30 Y30 position, off the print, and waits until the nozzles change to the correct temperature.

 

Thank you

 

 

I am still having this problem. The attached file is a test I did today with dual extruders and support material. The second extruder is just doing the support interface layer.  From what I can tell ( I am a novice) there is a random move on layer 3 that sends the head back to the X0 Y0 position. This caused a head crash.

This position is far away from the print and takes place after the brim has been printed. I see no reason for this to happen.

 

I would appreciate some feedback. PLEASE

        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.
