Disable waiting codes and retraction (Cura 4.7)

[mbr3m3r 0]

Hi, I need to disable the waiting codes (M109, M190 and M105) and the -1.0 retraction at the beginning of each print.

 

 

I tried modifying the JSON (fdmprinter.def.json located in C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.7\resources\i18n) like:

 

#: fdmprinter.def.json
msgctxt "material_bed_temp_wait label": { "default_value": false },
msgid "Wait for Build Plate Heatup"
msgstr ""

#: fdmprinter.def.json
msgctxt "material_bed_temp_wait description": { "default_value": false },
msgid ""
"Whether to insert a command to wait until the build plate temperature is "
"reached at the start."
msgstr ""

#: fdmprinter.def.json
msgctxt "material_print_temp_wait label": { "default_value": false },
msgid "Wait for Nozzle Heatup"
msgstr ""

#: fdmprinter.def.json
msgctxt "material_print_temp_wait description": { "default_value": false },
msgid "Whether to wait until the nozzle temperature is reached at the start."
msgstr ""

 

And the JSON from my specific printer (robo_3d_r1.def.json located in C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.7\resources\definitions) like:

    "name": "Robo 3D R1",
    "version": 2,

        },

        "layer_height": { "default_value": 0.2 },
        "speed_print": { "default_value": 40 },
        "machine_extruder_count": { "default_value": 1 },
        "retraction_combing": { "default_value": "off" },
        "machine_heated_bed": { "default_value": true },
        "machine_center_is_zero": { "default_value": false },

        "machine_width": { "default_value": 225 },
        "support_z_distance": { "default_value": 0.22 },
        "machine_name": { "default_value": "ROBO 3D R1" }
    }
}
 

 

This deactivated the waiting code for the bed but I'm still getting the waiting codes for the hotend like:

 

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:4940
;Filament used: 8.64955m
;Layer height: 0.3
;MINX:57.311
;MINY:74.813
;MINZ:0.2
;MAXX:152.688
;MAXY:170.188
;MAXZ:8.3
;ZOFFSETPROCESSED
;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 4.7.0
M140 S80
M104 S205
M105
M109 S205
M82 ;absolute extrusion mode
G28 X0 Y0
G28 Z0
G29
G92 E0
G92 E0
G1 F3000 E-1
;LAYER_COUNT:28
;LAYER:0

 

Any ideas why isn't this modifications on the JSON file working?

 

EDIT: I was able to get rid of the waiting codes setting up the temperatures on the gcode header, but I have no idea where to start or how to get rid of the "G1 F3000 E-1" at the header.

The problem with the retraction line is that if you change the setting for Retraction Distance or Retraction Speed in Cura, then the line changes.  I use the Search and Replace plugin to change that line to "G92 E-1" and I get nice starts to my skirt/brim.  If the search criteria doesn't match the current Distance / Speed settings the plugin can't find the line to change it.  I tend not to change the Distance or Speed very often so Search and Replace works for me.

Thanks! Yeah that "Search and replace" plugin works great!

 

I'm just curious why didn't the mods in the JSON file apply for the hotend. But all good now.
