Posted · calling CuraEngine from the terminal (possible bug... although probably I'm doing something wrong)

Hi good day.

 

I have a rather strange situation (don't know if someone else has crossed with it) . 

 

I'm running Cura Engine from a ubuntu 20.04 terminal which (at first) it seems like it is delivering a proper gcode. However when I check the file in Ultimaker Cura I discover that actually the height of the objects is smaller. For instance if the piece is 24 mm tall, with a 0.1 layer height, it should deliver 240 layers, however it is delivering 199.

 

What I do is this:

in the terminal (to set CURA_ENGINE_SEARCH_PATH as stated in https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine)

  

export CURA_ENGINE_SEARCH_PATH=/snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/share/cura/resources/definitions:/snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/share/cura/resources/extruders

 

then I call CuraEngine like this

 


  

/snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/bin/CuraEngine  slice -v -p -j /snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/share/cura/resources/definitions/creality_ender3.def.json  -o output.gcode   -l my_stl_file.stl

 

 

 

The output is this

I believe that maybe the problem is with the setting of the CURA_ENGINE_SEARCH_PATH variable. The truth is I'm still more of a mechanical engineer than a programmer, so most of the time I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. 

 

I have also tried with different settings in the command line but the result always missed some layers. Here are are the settings I've tried with:

  

/snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/bin/CuraEngine  slice -v -p -j /snap/cura-slicer/51/usr/share/cura/resources/definitions/creality_ender3.def.json  -o output.gcode  -s speed_print_layer_0=5 -s layer_height=0.2 -s speed_print=50 -s speed_travel=150 -s speed_infill=50 -s wall_thickness=0.8 -s speed_topbottom=25 -s speed_wall=25 -s speed_wall_0=25 -s speed_wall_x=25 -s skirt_brim_speed=5 -s acceleration_print=500 -s acceleration_enabled="true" -s acceleration_infill=500 -s  acceleration_wall_0=500 -s acceleration_wall_x=500 -s acceleration_topbottom=500 -s acceleration_travel=500 -s acceleration_travel_layer_0=500 -s acceleration_print_layer_0=500 -s retraction_speed=45 -s retraction_prime_speed=45 -s retraction_retract_speed=45 -s adhesion_type="skirt" -s skirt_line_count=3 -s skirt_gap=10 -s line_width=0.4 -l my_piece.stl

 

 

If anyone could provide me with some light about this issue.

 

By the way I know that there are a lot of posts related the same topics but to be honest the information wasn't straightforward enough for a mechanical engineer trying to deal with programs... xD.

 

So if anyone has a more detailed tutorial to work with the CuraEngine CLI it would be greatly appreciatted.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Did you find a solution to your problem? I am also using creality_ender3 and even thought fdmprinter slices fine, creality_ender3.def.json possibly doesn't inherit properly from fdmprinter.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
