Topic: Slicing with cura, hitting bed
So i have had my printer for a bit over 2 weeks now. Got sick of the stock software quickly, Started using Slic3r and using scripts to convert gcode and then print but then got sick of problems with slic3r so I installed open ware mod and Cura. This is where larger problems arise. I am using firmware 1.1.J
So Anything I slice in slic3r works fine. Can just throw the gcode in to modified xyzware software and it prints fine (Though long delay before it starts printing) I though, Well cura is just easier to use and supposedly does supports better I would try cura. Obviously I set up a print, Sliced it, Edited all the G0 commands to G1 and thought it will print. Bang, The print head rams into the platform and starts scratching. Quickly stop, check for damage (No cracks or anything thank god) and look at the code.
Comparing the code between a slic3r print and cura and they take two different approaches. I have linked two examples, The GiftBox is the cura print. Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to sort this? I cant seem to get KISSlicer to work, Slic3r on large prints stops on supports when slicing and Cura tries to kill the platform.
If someone could shed some light on how I can get cura to print, I would be very happy.
