Cura not labelling objects

Cura is not labelling objects in gcode.  Wasn't doing it on 5.4, still isn't after update to 5.6.  One of the functions offered by Klipper is adaptive bed probing (eg KAMP macro), which reduces time, increases quality by only probing the occupied areas of the print bed.  This relies on objects being labelled in the gcode along with their x&y bounds, so the routine knows where to probe.  This supposedly happens by default in cura or is a setting in other slicers (eg Orca).  Similar discussion attached, screenshot of example gcode without labelled objects..

    Search the gcode for ";MESH:".  There are two types:

    ;MESH:NONMESH

    are combing moves at the end of a layer and

    ;MESH:My Model.stl

    Will indicate the model.  The first occurrence of this will be at the end of a skirt/brim or at the end of any Support or Support-Interface.  If there is no support or interface on a layer then the line will appear just after the layer line and ";TYPE:"  line.

    ;TIME_ELAPSED:135.897187
    ;LAYER:4
    ;TYPE:WALL-INNER
    ;MESH:My Model.stl
    G1 F2703.4 X114.281 Y30.008 E510.47956

     

    Your snippet is too short.  At that point it's printing "skirt" which is not part of the model.

    I figured it out.  For the benefit of others having the same issue, Cura identifies the extent of each model, and when you upload the gcode to your pi or whatever computer you use, the code is processed to filter out the relevant info for the adaptive mesh macros.  If it's not working properly, you just didn't install everything correctly (instructions here : https://github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging) .

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
