Posted · cura slice on an old reprap

I have a 10 years old reprap with teacup firware and i print with repetier.

I decide to change my old skeinforge and use the cura.

If i print a rectangular everything is perfect. extremely good print in comparison to the one that i had be able to make the with Skeinforge.

But if I print a normal part that has gaps and square holes the printer retracts the material like crazy and actual it is not printing because  the retract of the filament is very big and i can not see a forward motion to compensate to the retract. I tried to read the g code and I can not find it the few E- that exist followed with the E+ as it suppose to but they do not explain the behavior I see.

Even if I change the settings and remove the retract so the g code has no "G1 E-" the behavior remains.

    problem solved.

     

    -First I have to use relative extrusion mode

    -Second I have via a post processes to change all the  E values that are smaller  than 0.0001 (0.00001 to 0.00009) to  0.0001 because and repetier and ponderface was sending for example the 0.00001 as E1E-5 so I was end up retracting like crazy.

      • 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.
