New release Slic3r 1.0.0RC1, bug with Mach3/EMC

Hello,

new release Slic3r 1.0.0RC1:

Creating the G-code with Mach3/EMC as G-code flavor, the resulting G-code file includes apart from the character "A" also the character "E" for
the extrusion axis. Because for Mach3 only the character "A" is allowed it does not work.

Hi.
Yes, i have this problem too.

My (provisional) sulution...
Replace all (with a text editor) "G1 E" with ";G1 E"
After that the G-Code runs.

How do you do that?
With 1.00RC1 my slic3r outputs correctly "A" for extruder movements when MACH3/EMC flavor is selected?
Are you sure you do not have custom gcodes containing E?


UPS....sorry
I just tried another file and there it was more frequent with extraction compensation, an E instead of A. Should be reported to Github as an issue.

Hello justcurious,

please can you create this issue, because I cannot deal with Github.

Thanks Nobima

done
[github.com]

Having an issue here also with Mach3 and Slic3r 1.0.0RC1

Slic3r is creating lines of Gcode that have the letter E, Like the middle line shown below
This was not an issue with previous versions of Slic3r

Mach3 will not run the line with the E code shown below
And the E code appears many times through the Gcode file

G0 X-1.736 Y1.788 F4200.000
G1 E75.61461 F3000.000
G1 X-5.322 Y-1.798 A75.78876 F4200

Just confirming what others have been reporting

I looked on github but could not find this issue reported
Has it been reported?
Don't want to do iot if it has already been done.

Looking at the Gcode again this morning it looks like the code line that contain an E just need to be replaced with an A

Example before
G1 F3000.000 A22.38037
G0 X-9.524 Y4.803 F3000.000
G1 E23.38037 F3000.000
G1 X-9.946 Y4.782 A23.39474 F3000
G1 X-10.364 Y4.721 A23.40912

After
G1 F3000.000 A22.38037
G0 X-9.524 Y4.803 F3000.000
G1 A23.38037 F3000.000
G1 X-9.946 Y4.782 A23.39474 F3000
G1 X-10.364 Y4.721 A23.40912

I reported this issue as above:
[github.com]
It has been fixed but you may not see it before next release unless you make your own compiling.
Issue is around retracting and solved temporary as you did yourself by exchange letter E with A where found.

Thanks for the updated link
I see why I missed the topic now, the subject was not what I expected
That's great news that it has been fixed

testing the output code now with the replaced character
With the E replaced with an A, Mach3 is printing happily as we speak
