I dont know if this is the wrong place, but I know the knowledge is here.
I have recently switched my FLSUN delta firmware to marlin.
Everything is good, prints better than ever.
My problem (I think) is in the Start/Stop gcode.
Symptom: start new print and the printer doesnt start spewing filament for lets just say "too long".
I MUST do a skirt to make sure that by the time the part starts I will be extruding filament. I am assuming it is my start/stop gcode. I have looked up all the gcodes and I had thought I had fixed it, but alas the issue remains.
Here is the current code:
START
G21
G90
M82
M107 T0
M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}
M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} T0
G28
G92 E0
G0 E0 F200
G92 E0
STOP
M107 T0
M104 S0
M104 S0 T1
M140 S0
G92 E0
G91
G1 E0 F300
G1 Z+0.5 E-1 X-20 Y-20 F9000
G28 X0 Y0
M84 ;steppers off
G90 ;absolute positioning
Again apologies as I know this isnt a real Octoprint question, but any help would be appreciated.
What slicer do you use?
Or are those start/stop gcode scripts in OctoPrint?

Using M190 and M109 back to back means that the bed must reach its target temperature before the nozzle can start heating. A better sequence is M140, M109, M190 or M104, M190, M109. Either of these sequences allows for parallel heating of the bed and the nozzle.
I believe the commands after the first G92 E0 are redundant (i.e. they don't do anything useful).
Cura.
Im not sure. Im digging around now.
You sure I need to add it to Octo? It says "Anything you put here will be executed before any lines in your files." To me that says it would run my start code 2x.
please correct me if im wrong.
I am gonna look into this. Thanks for the reply!
No. I just was asking.
I asked for the slicer, because Cura uses [ and ] for the tokens.
In the snippet you used { and }
I thought {} was used in Cura, with [] being used in PrusaSlicer (or Slic3r derivatives).
Oops. Did I mix it up? Too bad. Sorry
It's actually more confusing these days. {} is Cura, but PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, etc. can use both [] or {}.
[] are the legacy variable place holders, but {} can be used to create more complex expressions, including just single variables.

It is quite common to include the code for purge line in the slicer custom gcodes for startup. Most slicers will create a skirt for you. Prusaslicer now does inside, outside and both.
Here's my cura start gcode with purge line:
M220 S100 ;Reset Feedrate
M221 S100 ;Reset Flowrate
G28 ;Home
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
G1 X10.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to start position
G1 X10.1 Y200.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
G1 X10.4 Y200.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little
G1 X10.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
You have to adjust the size and position of the line, but I've never worked with a round bed so I don't know what would work for you.
I would move the head via the controls tab and check the coordinates.
I am also getting this from octo after my print completes
Any other advice as to what is going on? Im pretty good with my printers and octo, but admittedly once it comes down to actual gcode im in over my head.
Ok. wow. I took this code and modded it for my printer. Total difference. That is what I needed. Thank you.
However I am still getting the errors above. Any ideas on those errors folks?
Dont know if there is a better place to post it but for anyone with the same printer. here is the code:
FLSUN QQS Pro purge line(s):
M220 S100 ;Reset Feedrate
M221 S100 ;Reset Flowrate
G28 ;Home
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
G1 X-40 Y-110 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to start position
G1 X40 Y-110 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
G1 X40 Y-109.7 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little
G1 X-40 Y-109.7 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
Does your printer have more than one extruder? If it does not, then check the configuration in the slicer to make sure you only have one setup. It looks like OctoPrint tried to change the tool by sending T0 to the printer, but it sent back an error.
Hey Charlie,
I only have 1 extruder and "Extruder 1" is the only one that shows up in Cura under machine settings (assuming thats where you mean)
Can you share a gcode file?

I could potentially DM it to you, but it is every single print I run. I have dug through all the octo setup and everything looks right. That is why I am confused.
Then just sent the first 100 lines or so.
We need to see what going on to run OctoPrint (not octo) fine again.
here is the first 100 lines of a file I am able to share.

Same thing. Prints ok. at the end gives me that screen shot error.
Thank you for the help.
