i have Qubea QD-1X printer.

With Kisslicer ( 5D absolute E Gcode ) everything is fine except there are 2 issues that bother me.

1. crowning gap, gap that i can see to on kisslices

photo : gap at the trunk corner behind the cabin.

2. visible seams

so i decided to give cura slicer a try but my printer just wont start print anything.

i copied the start and end gcode from kiss to cura.

it can heat the bed , heat the nozzle , home all axis. after that the nozzle is going down to print area but it wont print anything. just stay in the middle of the bed.

 

what Gcode flavour should i use ?

Tried marlin & reprap but still not working.

 

please help.

Thank you

    OK.  On Sunday it is.

    They are Delta printers, and so probably Origin at Center.  Quebea is gone as you probably noticed.  Since you can get it/them to move and print with KissSlicer then they should work with Cura.

    This is the Start Gcode i got from the developer.

    ; absolute mode
    G90
    G28
    M42 P7 S100
    M190 S<BED>
    M42 P6 S160
    M42 P6 S255
    G28
    M109 S<TEMP>
    M42 P7 S255

     

    and this is the End Gcode

    Some of the Start Gcode won't work with Cura.  I'm leaving in the M42 lines although at this point I don't think we know what is connected to those "pins" on your mainboard.

    The G28 in your ending gcode has to go.  It's never a good idea to drop the nozzle when there is a print on the bed.

     

    Copy and paste this in as your StartUp Gcode in Cura Machine Settings:

    ;

    ;Start Gcode

    ;
    G21 ;metric
    G90 ; absolute mode

    M82 ;absolute extrusion
    G28 ;Home all axes
    M42 P7 S100 ;set pin state of pin 7 to 100
    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ;heat the bed and wait for it
    M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ;heat the hot end and wait for it

    M42 P6 S160 ;set pin state of pin 6 to 160
    M42 P6 S255 ;set pin state of pin 6 to 255

    M106 S0 ;start with the layer cooling fan off.
    G28 ;auto-home again
    M42 P7 S255 ;set pin state of pin 7 to 255

    G1 F1800 Z10 ;move the nozzle up away from the build plate

    ;

    ;End of Start Gcode

    ;

     

    Copy and paste this in as your Ending Gcode

     

    ;

    ; Ending Gcode

    ;

    G91 ;Relative positioning

    G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit

    G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z

    G0 X5 Y5 F3000 ;Wipe out

    G0 Z10 ;Raise Z more

    G90 ;Absolute positioning

    G0 X0 Y{machine_depth} ;Present print

    M106 S0 ;Turn-off fan

    M104 S0 ;Turn-off hotend

    M140 S0 ;Turn-off bed

    M220 S100 ;reset feed rate to 100%

    M221 S100 ;reset flow rate to 100%

    M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z so the nozzle doesn't drift down

    ;

    ;The End

    ;

    The words/phrases in curly brackets are Cura keywords.  Cura will replace them with the actual values when the gcode is put together.  That's why "M109 S<TEMP>" didn't work.  Wrong word and no curly brackets.  So your hot end and bed didn't heat up.

    You can bring a simple model like a calibration cube into Cura.  Use the scale tool to make it 1mm tall.  Slice it and print the gcode to see how it goes.

    TAAA_DAAA!

    Nice.  Don't bother trying to tweak that line on the hull that is at the height of the deck.  Can't be done.  I think doctoral thesis have been written on it.
