Ender 5 plus using PrusaSlicer failing to print  

RE: Ender 5 plus using PrusaSlicer failing to print

It is an advanced option, but one way is to make a post script changing all G1 moves with X and/or Y and not E parameter to G0 moves instead.

Another way is to change Printer settings -> Firmware -> G-code flavor to another setting - you need to be in Expert mode to see this option. I'm not sure, how the G-code output is changed when selecting another firmware output flavor. But it is easy to try and compare the result.

Since I'm working with Marlin I selected Marlin hopping that it will generate G0

No luck, tried all of them. they are all with G1. 😭 in this case i need to change them manually.. but this is really inconvenient 🙁

RE: Ender 5 plus using PrusaSlicer failing to print

Then the remaining option is to write a post processing script turning all relevant G1 to G0.

Some info on post scripts can be found in the Slic3r manual: Post-Processing Scripts

RE: Ender 5 plus using PrusaSlicer failing to print

Looking at the Marlin website it looks like G1 is supposed to be used for moves with extrudes and G0 for fast non print moves.  It looks like Prusa have decided that as Slicer is designed for only printers they are just going to use G1 and not worry about having G0.

I made this python3 PrusaSlicer post script as an example:

#!/usr/bin/python3

#####################################################################
# Example PrusaSlicer python3 post script.
# The script replaces G1 moves with G0 when there is no extrusion.
#
# ==> Use at your risk!
#
# Area51, 02.05.2020, version 0.1
#####################################################################

import sys
import re

# Get input filename
inFileName = sys.argv[1]

# Create output filename, appen '2' to the name
outFileName = inFileName + '2'

# Read all lines into memory
with open(inFileName, "r") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

# Process and write modified lines to output file
with open(outFileName, "w") as of:
    # Iterate over all lines
    for line in lines:
        if line.startswith('G1 ', 0): # Line with G1
            match = re.search('E[0-9.-]+', line)
                if not match: # Line not having extruding
                    line = 'G0' + line[2:] # Change G1 to G0

        of.write(line)

of.close()
f.close()

# End of script

It matched every line with G1 and not having extruder moves.

No guaranties given, use at your own risk! Just made as an example of a post script. May contain errors.

True, but the printer reacts differently with G1 then G0

😀 it did not work .. but thanks for your try

@koodaa

Depending on your system (I use Linux) python3 needs to be installed for the given script to run.

Post scripts are just executables that is run after G-code is generated - the "script" get the filename as the first parameter and it is then up to the script to "do what is has to do" with the generated G-code. In Windows it could be a .bat, .cmd or PowerShell file that changes G1 moves to G0 moves.

If you have a command line text editor, that can properly be used too...

I think i will go with Manual way since i have no clue with programming, but thank for all your support it means a lot to me 🙂
