[Cura 3.6.0] Wanhao Duplicator i3 wrong machine settings

Machine settings data seems wrong for the Wanhao Duplicator i3. When starting a print with it the printer hangs while processing the start code due to some syntax error I guess.

 

Here's a screenshot of the faulty original settings:

Notice the travel speed which seems to be a variable which the printer doesn't understand (just a guess - I'm not an expert in gcode). There's also a space in front of every line except the first - I guess this won't get parsed anyway but I think it's worth mentioning as there's no space for other machines. Also have a look at the end g-code: There's some command missing to turn the heated bed off which seems rather dangerous. Printhead settings don't look plausible either; especially the gantry height. Last but not least the gcode flavour should be repetier but I think this doesn't matter.

 

I've been using a slightly modified (just changed the Z-height to 180mm) Prusa i3 machine setting for some years now which seems to work well with the Duplicator i3. Here's a screenshot of that - just for the sake of completeness.

I'm using the latest 64bit stable 3.6.0 AppImage version of cura on a Xubuntu 18.04 system. To exclude any influences of previous cura installations I've deleted following folders before testing:

~/.cache/cura

~/.config/cura

~/.local/share/cura

    Well, all 3d party printers are contributed one way or another. We don't actually have the machines, so they don't get tested by Ultimaker in any way.

     

    If you want these things changed in the next release of Cura, please make a pull request.

    Ok, thanks but that's beyond my skills. All I can do is to open an issue on git - maybe someone will find time to remove or change the wanhao profile.

      • 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.
