filament retraction with reprap firmware
June 28, 2021 07:47AM
Hello, I've built another delta printer and decided to try RepRap firmware to run it, all went well and straight forward until I finished a print, at which point the filament retracted-but retracted all of the filament out of the bowden tube!!
The setup is RepRap V 3.2.2 running on a SKR V1.4 turbo board with TMC2208 drivers, the firmware is the wifi version although that is not connected yet (still waiting for the wifi module) . The firmware was compiled using the RepRap config tool
and the only "unusual" part of the machine is the heated bed is 115V running through a relay. I am very pleased with the firmware and setup apart from this one" problem" . The slicer I use is Cura and the problem is not present with Marlin or Smoothie.

Unfortunately Cura sends M82 to put the extruder in absolute mode before it runs your slicer end script. This causes a simple filament retraction command such as G1 E-5 in that script to behave as you observed. So start your slicer end script with either M83 to reinstate relative mode, or with G92 E0.

Hello, I'm trying to make a new sensor type to measure the water in a water tank for my clay 3D printer, any suggestions as to how I should go about making this? I tried to make a duplicate of the thermistor sensor and haven't had any luck.
