Not printing correctly after last firware update

[Vampora 0]

So just caught up on a bunch of firmware updates. I went all the way to the lastest one. Now when I print it tries to print a good 25mm or so above the bed for some reason. Any ideas? If it matters I am using hardcore nozzles, tried cura 3.6 and 4.0, and it was working perfectly fine before the firmware update. It must know where it is though because the prime goes to the correct spot.

The reason for it is a command in the gcode G92 Z, this is causing the problem. Normally G92 Z comes from the Z-height plugin, but there are also users without that plugin. You can try to install a fresh copy of Cura 4 and delete the configuration folder before.

I am using the z height plugin. So after this will I not be able to use it? Or do I need to do a fresh install and then install it? Without it I cant use the hardcore nozzles as it prints too close to the bed and jams.

By deleting the config does that get rid of all my other printers again? I normally wouldn't care, but I just got done entering them all again 2 weeks ago.

I figured it out. Thank you so much! That was definitely it.

I'm probably too late now, but if you delete the config folder, all your settings will be gone. You might want to copy it away first, then you have the chance to copy back the configs step by step.

 

But if you're using the z-height plugin, it's probably enough to just disable this plugin. The reinstallation was helpful for users who had the problem but didn't use the z-height plugin.

 

Where the problem is with G92 Z is still unclear, so the plugin is not usable for now. But I'm sure the problem/bug will be analyzed and hopefully fixed with the next Cura update.

I had the same issue: used the Z-as plugin for finetuning bedleveling, worked great !

But after this new firmware upgrade, the printer is printing in the AIR (about 3cm too high!!).

Now disabled the plugin, it prints now on the glass again 😉

 

BUT: it's a BUG, I hope they will fix it asap !!
