Cura start up re-inserts the gcode for Anycubic Vyper profile #13715

Open tkocou opened 2 years ago

tkocou commented 2 years ago

Application Version

5.2.1

Platform

Linux Mint

Printer

Anycubic Vyper

Reproduction steps

After starting Cura for the day, I checked the Printer's Machine Settings. In past Cura versions, the Printer Machine Settings remained blank after deleting the gcode those areas. With Cura 5.2.1, every time I start up Cura, the Machine Settings for my Vyper printer shows the unwanted gcode.

Actual results

This unwanted behavior forces me to edit the printer profile before attempting any printing. Not good!!

Expected results

When a printer profile has the gcode areas deleted (Start G-code & End G-code), those areas should remain deleted.

The behavior started with the update from 5.1.1 to 5.2.1

Thanks for the report. There must be something "different" about the AnyCubic printers. I can reproduce the problem with them but not with my Ender (which is the only other one I checked). The default StartUp gcode seems to be inserted but the Ending gcode always comes in as a blank line and then "machine_startup_gcode =" which is certainly wrong.

I'm going to leave the bug label on so the Cura team will take a look but I have a feeling that this is an AnyCubic problem rather than a Cura problem. I can't see why Ultimaker would care about AnyCubic Start and end Gcodes.

I did find a workaround. If you put a comment into the boxes like... ; No StartUp and ; No Ending

That will fool the outside process (or maybe bug) that keeps re-inserting things.

After clearing the StartUp Gcode and Ending Gcode from several printers, quitting Cura, and restarting Cura I get this in the Machine Settings Dialog: Machine Setting Re-insert StartUp Gcode

The StartUp gcode came back into the empty text box and the Ending Gcode is obviously wrong. The UM S5 I checked showed the same behavior but in it's case their was no Startup Gcode and the Ending Gcode came back in as per the definition file.

I can confirm that this is what occurs with my installation as well ( Cura 5.2.1 // Ender-3 S1 // Windows 10 ) Additionally, as noted above, adding any bit of code such as:

; No Added Cura Code

prevents the incorrect code from being re-inserted. Hope that helps! 😊

Another work-around: I purged version 5.2.1 and started version 4.8.0. In 4.8.0, I created a custom FFM printer with all the correct settings for the Anycubic Vyper, but without the Gcode. After shutting down 4.8.0, I installed 5.2.1 and let it import the printers, etc. Now the custom Anycubic Vyper definition stays blank when I start Cura version 5.2.1
