Posted (edited) · When trying to save a file for a MakerBot Printer it tells me to lower the platform

thats an odd one.. 
What model MakerBot are you trying to slice for and what version of UltiMaker Cura are you using?

Also, can you try saving to somewhere else such as documents, downloads or desktop?
You appear to be trying to save to onedrive.. which shouldn't be a issue.. but wondering if its a factor..

    To me that error looks like there's an error in the startup/end gcode which Cura can't handle.

     

    Any chance you could post those? To get there you open the printer dropdown at the top left:

    (I unfortunately don't have that many printers, I just test stuff from the forum a lot and that adds the printer profile)

    Anyway, click Manage printers. It should open the printers page in the Cura preferences with the currently active printer selected:

    Just click Machine Settings:

    If you could copy and paste the code from the two boxes at the bottom and post that it might help. Or it might be barking up the wrong tree. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

      • 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.
