I don't know if you realised it from reading Eriks post but your setbed.g is missing the 'S' from the end of the P3 line, that's why it does nothing. Kev.by KP - Ormerod

Well, your problem is here: The line M203 X6000 Y6000 Z500 E3000 ; Allows 100mm/s speeds is getting mangled by the plugin to G1 F1800.000 E-1.0 G1 Z500 E3000.00000 M203 X6000 Y6000 G1 F1800.000 E1.0 That is a 3 metre extrude at high feedrate, it'd make anyone squeal.

Quotedmould Also set slic3r to do 3 loops (or more) in the skirt (print settings) - this is only to ensure that the plastic starts flowing properly before it starts printing the part - and it gives you time to pause the print and adjust the Z height if you started with the nozzle too close or too far from the bed without needing to abort and start again. It may be better to set loops to 1 and alby KP - Ormerod
Are you printing direct from Cura? I've never tried that. Can you slice a small simple object (see my attached .stl) and post it the G-Code as an attachment? Kev.by KP - Ormerod
I had this problem recently. If you get plastic stuck to the outside of your nozzle, subsequent extrusion tends to adhere to the nozzle better than the bed. I cleaned mine while hot with a damp piece of kitchen towel but I believe leather works well. Kev.by KP - Ormerod
If you look in 'output.txt' in the Cura directory and search for 'EAtoR.py' at the end of the file, what is the error associated with it? Kev. Ignore me too. Unless you have any problems with the plugin.by KP - Ormerod
Just thinking aloud, but: Remove the bed. Slide the bearings to either end of the ground rods. Lay the glass bed on the ground rods. Twist as required to get the glass to lay flat. You would need to do this on the edge of a table as the rods are not at the same height. The glass could be held on the rod nearest the extrusion by an elastic band or similar. Kev.by KP - Ormerod
How about rivnuts/nutserts?by KP - Ormerod
I was attempting to implement Z lift in a Cura plugin by doing a relative G1 Zxx then returning to absolute coords. It transpires that an M83 is required post G90. Is this correct behaviour? I contend not, G90/G91 is abs/rel coords. I do not consider extrusion distance to be a coordinate. KeV.by KP - Ormerod
I'd like to get on the list for a Kit 5 please, happy to wait until the right bits are available. Kev.by KP - Ormerod
Yes, Cura (re)generates the G-Code in the background. Altering any of the parameters (including for a plugin) causes a regeneration, even if one is already in progress. For me, enabling a plugin causes regeneration too (Cura 14.01). I have not checked the produced G-Code for errors though. I will attempt to do so. File->Load / File->Recent do not disable plugins. I have raised an issue oby KP - Ormerod

I've tried Cura once but it appeared to be massively over-extruding. Could someone offer some settings? Kev.by KP - Ormerod
I just happen to have a PT1000 RTD taped to the centre of the bed as I was testing a new insulator last night. The bed heater has been off for hours so everything should have equalised. PT1000 - 16.4 Bed thermistor - 16.7 Extruder - 6.7/7.8 For completeness, a thermocouple probe in free air is 16.3.by KP - Ormerod

They are located in the 'sys' directory on the SD card. They can be edited with any text editor, such as Notepad in Windows. Kev.by KP - Ormerod
Do you mean X or Z. Z, yes because the reading is being taken at a distance and the firmware is looking for a specific value of reflected IR. X, no, at least not significantly, as in this case there is an abrupt transition from far to near as the sensor slides across the tab on the X motor mount.by KP - Ormerod
This will work, if you use this verbatim i.e. don't replace the bits in square brackets, it will pick up the settings from the 'Filament Settings' tab of Slic3r.

They're OK, I use 65/60 & 195/190 currently. I intend to try lower for the hotend as lower temps are supposed to extrude better.by KP - Ormerod
QuoteDavek0974The bed and head were fully up to temp before I loaded the g-code, is that not the right way, should I have left them cold and then loaded the file?? It doesn't really matter, you may get better results setting up hot as any thermal expansion will have taken place. I was just looking for a plausible reason for the print not progressing.

If you look in the coathook.g file with a text editor such as notepad, you will see the G-code G28 (about line 24). This homes all the axes and therefore undoes your manual Z setting. If you place a semicolon in front of this line it will be ignored or you could just delete the line. Kev.by KP - Ormerod

Oh well, I need to make myself look stupid once per day or I start to believe I'm competent. Now I've looked at it, the Ormerod profile does bed then hotend too. Mine picks up the temps from the 'Filament Settings' tab though, the supplied profile has them hard coded.

The firmware doesn't implement the M190 g-code to wait for a set bed temperature. It does, however, have M116; the impressively titled 'wait for everything'. Thus, the following should work if you put it in 'Start G-code' under the 'Custom G-code' section of the Slic3r 'Printer settings' tab: M140 S ; Set bed heater M116 ; Wait for everything (Bed temp) M104 S ; Set hotend M116 ; Wait for everby KP - Ormerod
I haven't downloaded any firmware yet, much less dug into the code. Does the controller not do any clamping of the I term to prevent integral windup? That definitely would be an area for future development. KeV.by KP - Ormerod
