Posted (edited) · Start gcode from cura 3.6 to 4.2

So I have been out of the cura game for a while, last used 3.6 and everything was fine.  I get the new cura 4.2 and use my same start gcode and my print starts (it seems to heat bed, waits till bed is heated, then does home of all axis fine, then starts heating extruder and when heated it just starts extruding and lcd says printing but it just starts extruding in the middle of the bed without any x, Y, or z movement.   Is it my start gcode? It seems to skip my whole prime and start wipe procedure and position and go right into printing but only extruder is moving in the center of the bed.  Any suggestions?

    For all those who care, I managed to fix it by putting in M105(report temperature in between/right before M190 and M109.    What I want to know is why everytime Cura changes versions do I have to change, delete, modify or otherwise add extra gcode?  Really screws you up and makes me not too keen to upgrade

    You don’t mention what printer you have, nor did you label in the listing the demarcation between Cura-generated gcode and your start code.

     

    However, I suspect this has more to to with a change to you printer’s firmware than Cura since it is your printer that executes the gcode.

      • 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.
