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.
