Printrbot on cura not moving when the print is canceled. #1508

Open Thorgodof4 opened 8 years ago

Thorgodof4 commented 8 years ago

So i just got my first printer, printrbot play, today and i need some help. When I cancel a print the extruder dose not move. this the code: ;End GCode M104 S0 ;extruder heater off M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it)

G91 ;relative positioning G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way

M84 ;steppers off G90 ;absolute positioning ;{profile_string}

: So if you can help please do so thanks.

I think this is an issue with Printrbot, not with Cura. The g-code to execute when you cancel your print is not in the file, unless it's actually skipping to ;End GCode but then it should properly retract the filament and move to 0 and stuff. In either case, it's not in Cura's power to fix.

I do not understand what you mean.

The end gcode is only executed when you actually reach the end of your print - not when you cancel a print.

Cura has no functionality to execute gcode the moment you cancel a print. At Ultimaker we just let the printer decide what to do when a print job is cancelled, so the slicer is not involved when cancelling a print - the printer is responsible.
