CURA OBJECT GCODE - LOOKS WRONG WHEN OPENED IN MATTERCONTROL TO PRINT

[magicmarc]

HI, I'M TRYING TO DO THE SIMPLE BENCHY PRINT ON THE H2 DELTA.
I OPENED THE FILE IN CURA 3.2.1, USING THE SLICING PROFILES FOR THE HE280 DEFAULT AND THE 140X140X295, 0.5 1,75 PRINTER SETTINGS, THEN ALL LOOKS GOOD, I EXPORT THE BENCHY GCODE FILE.
WHEN I OPEN IT IN MATTERCONTROL TO PRINT IT LOOKS FLAT, SQUESHED.. IVE ATTACHED THE PICTURES.
THANKS FOR THE HELP

Like I mentioned in my reply to your other thread, Cura's not the problem here.

gene this one isnt a print top swilling error, like the spinning top that was too hot and/or too fast/ or too little layer time...
this was merely opening a .stl in cura, with the slicing profiles for the H2, then saving as gcode, then importing the gode to matercontrol, no print, as soon as it was added/opened into mattercontrol it just 'looked incorrect, no top half... i did the same with another .stl file and it too was cut off, no top, smuched down... as i said i didnt print this, its just opened wrong in mattercontrol...

Like I said, the problem isn't with Cura. If you have to print via USB, grab Repetier Host and use that. (or Pronterface for that matter)

thanks gene, im not familiar with octoprint, repetier host, or pronterface, but i will look them up this weekend and learn a bit... and try.. today im going to try just the sd card direct print, no mattercontrol (cura>>file>>sd card>>H@ insert & print)
as always, i learn something new and important everytime you reply!

You're quite welcome. Hopefully you're not learning new epithets or insults from me. (yet) *laughs*
