Modified Gcode does not output constant temperature

Posted · Modified Gcode does not output constant temperature

Hi guys,

 

I am playing around a bit to get to know gcode and have generated a gcode file with Cura and then thrown out the xyz control (G0 & G1) I don't need and put my own in instead. The Temperature control and everything else is exactly the same as written by Cura.

Now when I print the original gcode my Ultimaker (S3) prints with a constant temperature of 245°. As soon as I print my modified gcode file though the temperature reaches 245 in the beginning (as set using M104 S245), then the printer starts printing and the temperature drops continually until at some point the material is not being liquified enough and I get a "material error".

Some work arounds I have tried already:

- using M109 -> didn't make a difference

- setting the temp back to 245 again and again after different lines of code -> did set the temp but not as I had planned (one try was e.g. T went down to 160 (???) and then back up again to 200, then down to 80 and after finishing the print up to 245 again (wtf??))

Any clues why this might be happening?

(Ultimaker & Cura Softwares are up to date; there is no problem with any nozzle connection or else, nor in any cables, or other hardware connections; -> I am pretty sure it lies somewhere in my code, just don't know where)

 

Thanks already in advance for any help!

      • 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.
