    So I've been using the matter slice slicer and wanted to try out slic3r or Cura and when I go to post the gcode to the sd card or to print via usb all I get is an error message saying that it failed. Matter slice works just fine though. Any ideas what may be wrong?

    Most important these settings work for a [turn on] - [Print] -- [Print]
    Meaning that some setting I have found are not repeatable (work only on first print)

    For Cura 15.04.3

    Start GCodes
    -----------------------------
    G21
    G90 ;absolute positioning
    M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode
    G28 ;X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
    ;G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
    M565 Z-0.9 ; Define Z offset at 1.0mm<---------------- You will have to change this to get the right offset
    G29 ;Run auto-level
    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...


    End GCodes
    -------------------------
    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}- [Print]-

    ApperNtly there is some bug in the new version of mattercontroll that prevents Cura and slic3r from working
