Posted · How do I get CuraEngine accessed from the command line to match my GUI slicing

Hi,  I am new to 3D printing and have made a couple 3D prints on my Ender3 V2 printer using the GUI for ultimate Cura for Mac .    For the most part, I am using the default ender 3 v2 profile.   

 

Several of the thing verse objects I would like to build come in several STL files and I would like to use a command line script to batch slice these.

 

The trouble is that I can't get CuraEngine to make GCode from STL that prints nicely.   There have been a few posts on this forum that seem to relate to this issue but they have not helped yet.  

 

The basic syntax I am trying on there command line is :

 

 CuraEngine slice -v -j /Applications/Cura.app/Contents/Resources/resources/definitions/creality_ender3.def.json -o $i-$basename.gcode -s initial_extruder_nr="0" ....and other things right from Cura.log .... -l $FILE

 

Sorry for the bash variable but this is taken right from my script. 

 

Thanks for any help.  Best, Rudy

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        (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.
