Question How to prevent Z being moved with X and Y during travel?

[morristec 0]

Somehow my old printer cannot handle XYZ being moved at once during travel, the motors stutter and vibrate a lot.

 

The printer was originally provided with Slic3r and Simplify3D profiles but I want to switch to Cura

 

I found out that Slic3r moves X and Y first, and Z in a separate G1 command.

 

Cura however moves all three motors at once like

G0 X40 Y50 Z0.3

and this causes problems.

 

Is there a way I can tell Cura to only move Z on its own?

 

Thank you!

I worked around it using the "Modify G Code" extension and a "Search and Replace" regular expression:

 

Search:

 (?P<prefix>G0.+? )(?P<coord_x>X[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ )(?P<coord_y>Y[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ )(?P<coord_z>Z[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)

Replace:

\g<prefix>\g<coord_x>\g<coord_y>\n\g<prefix>\g<coord_z>
