Extruder not extruding

Open shiruken1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hello and thank you for creating this. I've followed all the steps and can write out an x3g file, but the extruder won't actually put out filament. I remember some time ago something about the start code needing tweaking. Any advice? I tried to add you on Discord to no avail :(

Interesting, can you out put it to G-Code and then send it to me on discord or you can post it here whichever one you want.

After I stopped paying for discord nitro they changed my numbers Toylerrr#7035

Thanks! Here's the gcode. I'll send you a request on Discord in a few minutes.

Hi! I would also like to thank you for creating this plug-in. Was a resolution found to the problem mentioned in this thread? I am experiencing the same issue trying to get Cura up and running for my FFCPs. Running Cura 4.12.1 with the X3GWriter plug-in from Ghostkeeper (https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/X3GWriter)
