Unresolved Errors in CURA Console

Error output from Cura console, right as and before my print went haywire. Also anyway I can make my calibration for the dimensions of my build platform not extrude any material? I always seem to have to remove the dot, or it sometimes lead to layering issues. Also just recently set my Z axis to move up 0.075 when retracting; don't know if that has anything to do with it.

< echo:endstops hit: Z:-0.37

< echo:Unknown command: "90"

 

Unknown command 90 means it's sending some weird command in Gcode. We'd need to see the gcode of what you're trying to print. Might be something wrong in your startup codes

 

Starting GCODE

Code:

G21
G90 ;absolute positioning
M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107 ;start with the fan off
G28 ;Home All
M565 Z-1.0 ; Define 1.0mm of offset, adjust this value if you're too high/low. More negative is further from the bed
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder count
G1 E-3.0 ;Retract 5mm for probing to limit dots
G29 ; Run autolevel routine
G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}
;Put printing message on LCD screen
M117 Printing...

Code:

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
G28 Z0                              ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
M84                         ;steppers off
G90                         ;absolute positioning
;{profile_string}

 

Also I tried printing out a button last night, (The first one being successful) but this one printed a weird layout layer that is in my project path, so it messed up my initial print. Anyway I can disable it putting down a the outline layer, or atleast modify it? Kinda new to slicing and etc. I also do have Simplify3d, just have yet to use it until I get all the settings I need for the latest RoboR1

 

That, but mostly how to use the slicing or edit my pathing. I understand you, Mike, and a few others use Simplify3d quite a bit and are impressed, so I figured I'd give it a try

 

The part you're talking about is called a skirt. It's good to use to make sure your first layer looks nice before it gets to the actual print.

I didn't see anything in your code that looks off. Are you still getting that "90" error

 

Yeah every once in awhile I get that error, but not too worried about it. The checksum errors are gone. Any chance you want to look at an stl file I made in cad to make sure its skirt(s) are correctly laid? It printed perfect the first time; however, I made changes since then and now it prints a weird starting layout layer.

 

Now I'm confused. Could you share a picture of what you mean?

 

Yeah I'll post one here in a few, my machine is powered down still and I just am barely waking up haha.

I mean that when it starts to print, it first puts down a layer that surrounds my actual object I'm printing. So lets say I'm printing a circle, it will put a slightly bigger circle on the outside, and then start to print the actual circle within it.

 

yes that's called a skirt. I always use at least 2 loops.

 

Here are my skirt settings,

Line count = 2
Start Dist = 3
Minimal Length = 150

 

If you really don't want it set Line count and min length to 0, but I think it's always a good idea. It also primes the nozzle.

 

Yeah I'm going to use it. However; I changed it's dimensions to be way bigger to avoid sticking

 

Figured out why the button was printing the weird outline, it was slightly offset in cad, so only half of the bottom of it was flush.

 

Sounds about right. I think people would be shocked at how many printing issues are caused by stl or slicing issues.

 

Yeah I'm just beginning, but I've read a lot about it, and continue to do so on my adventure to the 3d printing world.
