Converting to PrusaSlicer from Cura, Can Someone Help with Start/End Gcodes?
Hi All, I have an Ender 3 Pro with a Sprite Pro extruder and running with Sonic Pad and BL Touch. I used prusa slicer when I first got this printer way back before i did any upgrades and when I went to sonic pad everything pointed me to using cura so I learned cura. However, in many cases I find that PusaSlicer gives me better prints and I want to get back to using PrusaSlicer again. I have it working currently but I dont like the start/end gcodes I have. I would like to have them act the same as they do in my cura settings. Can someone help me get the gcode right or at least point me in the right direction of where I can learn. i will add my Cura gcodes below. Thank you for any help. I will greatly appreciate it. ...Jim
