Start and end scripts for different printers? #19
Comments
I'm pretty sure that the extruder naming is not an issue here. The output of Cura is still I don't know where you found any Flashforge script posted by me, but I don't have a Flashforge so if I posted it, I didn't test it! I might have found it somewhere or posted it in name of someone else? If you got it to work with S3D, maybe you could find the start-up sequence that they are using to start a print and use that? |
Ah yes it was not your start and finish codes, you were the next comment here: Ultimaker/Cura#3091 But tracking down start finish codes that work is proving difficult, and the ones I found are rather out of date for current cura version. I try again using info from here: http://markwal.github.io/programming/2016/02/18/ffcp-start-and-end-gcode.html together with info gathered from the comments... but its all very dated. |
I am too trying to get Cura 3.6 to work with FlashForge Creator Pro. got the X3GWriter plug in and using the 'Makerbot' G-code flavor. I think we just need to figure out the start/end scripts. I tried others I found posted with no luck but I was trying to get the Left nozzle to work. But I do know depending on the software some refers nozzles as T0 or T1 and others T1 or T2, so looks like Cura is using 0/1, Left is T1 and right is T0. I will play with it more and post back here. |
I have S3d but it seems to create a whole load of redundant g code at the start of its file, and it confuses me. Do let me know if you get it to work! |
I got it working on my Flashforge Creator Pro with the following; Edit printer config at %AppData%\Roaming\cura\3.6\definition_changes\Flashforge+Creator+Pro_settings.inst.cfg and add this line to the [metadata] section: machine_x3g_variant = r1d Start G-code
End G-code
|
S3d works fine for me, didn't do the dual print yet, machine profiles are saved in registry so there is no way for me to send a file, but can send you screen shots. following is for FFCP dual on Simplify3D ; **** Replicator 1 dual start.gcode **** ; **** Replicator 1 dual end.gcode **** |
I tried this and at first I thought it was not working, but I waited and watched it, was moving so slow I almost couldn't see it moving, just hearing the buzz, after almost a minute it suddenly moved and spit out a blob and starting the first layer of the test cube. I think the priming code is bad. |
So it should actually be machine_x3g_variant = r1d |
yea, I tried it, it doesn't like it. |

I have high hopes to eventually print using cura on my work flashforge creator pro printers where I currently use S3D and I fail to match the quality of what I get of my wanhao at home.
I'm struggling to find start and finish scripts that work for the flashforge creator pro.
My searches for info find lots of people finding the printer begins and then doesnt heat up, few seem to get as far as the print starting.
Is there somewhere to find some start and finish scripts that are known to work for particular printers?
I found some posted for the flashforge creator pro a while ago by ghostkeeper but I couldnt get a print using them either.
I think an issue might be the flashforge is using extruder 0 and extruder 1 and cura is calling them 1 and 2. I'm trying to use extruder 2 so maybe it tries to heat a non existent extruder and stops because it never heats up.
