Did you press the "slice" button?

koopie66 commented 5 years ago

I did some additional testing: It happens in thet following case step 1:load a STL file step 2: change something (ie rotate) step 3: do an export to GCODE -> result an empty GCODE file If the file is saved first then the GCODE file is correctly saved

nallath commented 5 years ago

What version of Cura did you use? On what operating system did you try this? With what settings did you try it?

I've just tried to slice an STL and save it to g-code and it works fine, so there must be something that is different.

Could you share the STL as well, because i'm also able to just slice an object on an Anet A6

Between 2 and 3, do you "Slice"? The default in Cura is not to slice automatically. You can turn automatic slicing on in the general preferences.

I'm having the same issue, and have not found a workaround. I'm using Cura 4.7.1 on my MacOS Catalina 10.15.5. I load an STL file, rotate it on the build plate, select the profile and click "slice." I can then preview the slice niely and I click "save to file." A dialog opens and I select the path and filename and a file is created. But the file size is zero bytes. Opening the file in Atom confirms that the file is empty.

I'm using a FlashForge Creator Pro with this profile:

Are you saving to an X3G file? There is an issue with your symptoms in the X3GWriter: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/X3GWriter/issues/30
