G4 pauses in 4a Low Quality profile

Posted · G4 pauses in 4a Low Quality profile

I've noticed that the infill produced from NF 4.9 using the 4a Low Quality profile / material adds a bunch of G4 P10 and G4 P60 lines.

Does anyone know why that is? It prints fine but the machine runs and then quickly stops and hesitates a lot during a print. I'd like for it not to do that. The point of LQ is to print faster, or so I thought.

I've looked at the words in the Build Style dialog and even compared them with the words in a non-G4 adding style and it seems like there is no "add a pause for no good reason" checkbox that I can uncheck. :)

    After a bit more time looking at the gcode the G4's seem to be around non-existent filament retraction code.

    If you go in and put a value > 0 in the RPM for Push On and Pull Off it adds several lines of code with the G4's.

    Is there a way to not put these if the RPM for retraction is 0? Removing the G4's removes the strange pausing

    behavior (obviously).

    I really think this is new behavior with the last update.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
