E-10 at Start of Print

Below is an extract of the GCODE file. 

 

The E-10 at line 5 creates an empty print before the filament  arrive at the nozzle.  The value of 10 follows the Retraction Distance in the Travel menu.  Am I missing a setting that 'restores' the filament to the nozzle or removes this?

 

Note: Retract at layer change is set to OFF.

    That is a lot of retraction.  The line is there to work with the later line G1 F1500 E0 and provide a prime, but it often isn't enough to bring the pressure up in the melting area of the nozzle.

    I use the Search and Replace plugin.  Search for "G1 F1500 E-10" and replace with "G92 E-10".  It will leave a puddle when it starts extruding, but it will start extruding right away.  Going to less of a reset (like G92 E-5) will make the puddle smaller.

    Ah, thanks for the explanation.  I misunderstood E0 to be just resetting the counter. 

     

    Problem is that Cura inserts the G1 F1500 E-xx, having to edit the generated file every time isn't very exciting.  

     

    Will try G92 and lower retract values.  Thanks again.

      • 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.
