Topic: GCode Help for Da Vinci 2.0

I sent the following gcode to my Da Vinci 2.0 printer and was not successful. It started to print but the bed was at least a 1/4" below the head. Here is the code I sent, can someone find out what I did wrong?

; filename = compostion.3w
; machine = daVinciF20
; material = abs
; layer_height = 0.2
; total_layers = 123
; total_filament = 0.0
; extruder = 1
T0
G21 ; set units to millimeters
M107
M190 S70 ; wait for bed temperature to be reached
M104 S210 ; set temperature
M109 S210 ; wait for temperature to be reached
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G92 E0
M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion
G1 F1800.000 E-1.00000
G92 E0

; ------------------------------------
; Layer #0
; ------------------------------------
G21 ; mm
G90 ; abs
G92 E0 ; reset extr

Re: GCode Help for Da Vinci 2.0

I have the 1.0 and recently got Gcode to work with XYZware.  I put together a tutorial on it here, maybe it'll help.

This is the header/footer Gcode that I was able to get working.  It does look a bit different than yours, but I'm not sure how different the 2.0 is compared to my 1.0.  You can try this Gcode template and see how it works.

Header Gcode:
; filename = composition.3w
; machine = daVinciF10
; material = abs
; extruder = 1
M140 S90 ; Bed (no wait)
M106 S210 ; Start fan
G90 ; set absolute coordinates
G28 ; home all axis
M190 S90 ; Bed (wait)
M104 S210 ; Extruder (no wait)
M109 S210 ; Extruder (wait)
M117 Start
M117 Cleaning
M100 ; Cleaning
M117 Printing

Footer Gcode:
M117 Done
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 E-3 F600 ; Retract
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off Bed
G90 ; Absolute
G28 X-33 Y-12 ; home x & y
G1 Z100 ; Lower bed
M117 Down Bed
M100 ; Cleaning
M117 Cleaning
G28 X-33 Y-12 ; home x & y
M84 ; Disable motors
M117 Remove Print
