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.
