Cura 5.3 : Issues in start gcode

Posted · Cura 5.3 : Issues in start gcode

I use some replacement parterns in my start gcode :

{used_material,x) -> adds Tx Material used by the tool

{used_nozzle_size,x) -> adds Tx Nozzle size used by the tool

 

It was working fine with Cura 5.2.2.

Upgrading to 5.3 has broken the replacement pattern for these two settings.

 

Is there a way to fix it ?

    I think you used {material_used,x} before. {used_material,x} never was something that Cura recognized.

    Similarly, you should use {machine_nozzle_size,x} not {used_nozzle_size,x}.

    Hi @ahoeben

    Thanks for your feedback. Indeed {material_used,x} and {machine_nozzle_size,x} are in the Settings and replacement patterns list. I've used them.

    I have realized that {used_material,x} and {used_nozzle_size,x} are functions generated by a plugin or a script written by my vendor to accommodate IDEX on Cura.

    I need to go deeper in the implementation

    Sorry, I was mistaken in my previous reply.

     

    {machine_nozzle_size, x} should work just like that (with the extruder nr filled in)

    {filament_amount} is replaced by a list, so you cannot specify an extruder number.

     

    For the full list of replacement patterns, see http://files.fieldofview.com/cura/Replacement_Patterns.html

    Also I have realized that the 2 functions created by my vendor works fine except if I disable the extruder 1.
