No Extrusion When Using Cura

[Travic 0]

Hello, I was attempting to slice files today on Cura when I noticed that it would not extrude any filament. My old files from Cura still extrude just fine, but no matter what file I try to slice today nothing seems to extrude. I do not believe I have changed any settings that could have made this happen. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Post one of the new gcode files.

Is the hot end getting up to temperature?

What printer?

Here is one of the gcode files. The hot end is up to temperature and its on an Ender 3 V2. It has a microswiss ng direct drive and I can see that the extruder is physically not moving whatsoever with these new files

That gcode starts out by heating the bed and hot end.  Once they are up to temperature your StartUp Gcode runs and as it is standard Ender 3 it has purge lines that go up and down the left side of the build surface.  Cura does no calculations there.

After the purge lines are complete the print starts and all the gcode lines at the beginning of LAYER:0 are correct and include extrusion commands.

Because you have the Arc Welder post processor active it is cnverting regular G1 and G0 moves into the G2 and G3 lines.  It is possible that the lines are being ignored if your firmware doesn't support G2 and G3 commands.  The way Creality plays fast and loose with the stock firmware that is entirely possible.

Anyway, the gcode looks fine and would print (does print) on my E3Pro.

 

This is the start that gcode file.  It's fine if the printer understands G2 and G3.

Yes you are correct, it was arc welder that was messing the prints up. I am not sure why it does not work now but I will leave it disabled. Thank you very much for your time! I would have never figured that out on my own!

When Creality started shipping the 4.2.2 and 4.2.7 boards they also went from the regular LCD display to the TFT style display.  The display has it's own firmware and the Creality mainboard firmware didn't play nice with the display firmware.  M0, M1, M117, M600 and some other commands that send messages to the screen no longer worked.  That wasn't intentional but did make for a lot of confusion.  Dropping the G2 and G3 commands was intentional.

I have a 4.2.7 board sitting here that I've never installed because I would want to change the firmware on it.  So far I've been too lazy to do it and my 1.1.5 mainboard runs fine, the M0 command for pausing is enabled, and G2 and G3 work.  Right now I have no real need to make the change.
