RE: Printables.com: Bug M870 Gcode

Do you have firmware version 6.4.0 installed?

I do have 6.40 although the error is coming from the printables.com website whern uploading a file produced by the current version of prusaclicer  using the web interface i.e. browse add file . So I don't think the firmware version matters.

I can only guess but that might be on purpose. If so, the error message tells exactly the situation: M870 is "unsupported" for users that aren't running the latest firmware.

Not saying it's good or bad (and speculation on top), but it would make sense to prevent uploading files that aren't generally backwards compatible.

Ah Ok. I misread your post. I agree with @mnentwig that it's probably for compatibility with older printers or printers not on the 6.4.0 firmware. If you are injecting those into the g-code from Start G-code and End G-code, you'll probably need to remove before uploading. I would use the standard printer profile and reslice with it before uploading.

When uploading GCode to Printables, do you have to specify for which printer it is? If so, is there a choice between Core One and Core One+?

There are tags that you can add to project. No idea if it uses those when it parses the g-code file though. Seems like it's doing that. Maybe I'll test later and report back.

RE:

Looks like a bug. I tried adding tags etc. Seems like it's parsing the g-code and the parser hasn't been updated to include the new Marlin extensions. My custom profile has extra code to open and close the vent. Using the stock profiles work fine, i.e. I'm able to upload after slicing. Unfortunately I don't think printables.com has a public github repo so not sure how to report this given no one from Prusa hangs out here.
