Hi,

 

My 3D printer (from a local company in Brazil) goes crazy if the gcode file has comments (";something"). Is there a way to disable it? I found a solution for Simplify3D, but I would like to kepp using Cura.

 

Thank you all.

Daniel

    You could use the Search & Replace gcode postprocessing script and a simple regular expression pattern to remove a semicolon and everything following it.

     

    Or you could flash the printer with a decent firmware...

    Unfortunatelly I can't flash the printer (I will loose warranty), and I was looking for a more definitive way to do that, inside Cure (like I can do in Simplify3D). But thanks, I will start with you suggestion.

    In Extensions -> Post Processing -> Modify G-Code, add a "Search and Replace" script.

    For Search, enter ;.* (ie: semicolon dot asterisk)

    For Replace, enter nothing

    Turn on Use Regular Expressions

      • 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
