Cura 5.7 bugs (start GCode)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · Cura 5.7 bugs (start GCode)

Cura 5.6 has no issues. Installed Cura 5.7, and when I go to print, instead of heating up the bed and nozzle and then once warmed up it homes and starts printing, it'll home, goto 0/0 with the nozzle against the build plate, and then heat up. I thought that would cause more issues with blobbing. This is the Ender 3 V3 SE profile.

    You should be more worried about it melting through the top layer of the build plate and exposing the metal sheet underneath (it's happened to me).

     

    This is why I use my own custom definition. Still, try changing the startup gcode to:

    M220 S100 ;Reset Feedrate
    M221 S100 ;Reset Flowrate
    
    G28 ;Home
    
    M420 S1; Use saved mesh leveling data
    
    G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
    G1 Z5 F3000 ;Move nozzle up
    G1 X0 Y20 F5000.0 ;Move to start position
    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0 - 20} ; Start heating bed
    M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; Start heating hot end
    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; Set bed temperature and wait
    M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; Set hotend temperature and wait
    G0 Z0.28 ; Lower nozzle
    G1 X0 Y100.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
    G1 X0.4 Y100.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little
    G1 X0.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line
    G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
    G1 E-1.0000 F1800 ;Retract a bit
    G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
    G1 E0.0000 F1800 
    

    That'll keep the nozzle at 5mm off the bed until it's hot, and instead heating the bed all the way THEN heating the hot end because I find the hot end heats up quicker than the bed, it waits until the bed has warmed to 20° below its final temperature, tells the hot end to start heating up, then waits for both the bed and hot end to heat up.

     

    Let's just say that whoever is maintaining the definition in Cura... I'm not a fan of their work.

        (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.
