CR-10s PRO V2 Settings are weird?

Posted · CR-10s PRO V2 Settings are weird?

Hello, I'm not entirely sure if this is an ultimaker issue or if it's a 'my printer is being weird' issue. I just downloaded the ultimaker cura update and this is old code from the old version (4.11) but I am uncertain if using the new version will help in any way.

Here's a list of the following issues I'm noticing.

  • There are 20 total probe points. People have told me that is far too many.
  • When leveling, it does not seem to keep the leveling I do and the probe points always change it to whatever it thinks is correct (i think.) So I have to edit the leveling during the first layer of the print.
  • I use a Wham Bam Flex Plate - Not sure if that's causing issues.


Here's the start of my gcode. I'm not sure if anyone can tell me anything about it or what to adjust? (This was taken from a Gcode I actually sliced.)

OKAY...
Now that we got all that, even though I'm not sure which gcode is the one that needs to be shared or if they're even the same cause I'm new to this...
Is there anything I can do to fix the issues I have listed without breaking my printer?

Thank you so much for reading and thank you even more for responding. 💜

    "Here's a list of the following issues I'm noticing.

    The number of probe points is a setting within the firmware.  I think it's adjustable by sending a G29 or M420 command with the proper parameters(?)  The Marlin commands are at MarlinFW.org.

    Whether or not the printer remembers the Z-offset and other settings is a function of how the firmware is set up.

    It doesn't matter what the bed surface is although it's preparation may differ.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
