I have not used S3D for a year and decided to try the latest version 3.1 to see if they fixed some issues I had before. I don't recall having *this* problem in the past but using the same factory file and settings when I go to print, the skirt is not extruding nor is most of the first layer. It starts laying down plastic about 30 seconds into the first layer which, of course, ruins the part. I even tried using 2 perimeters to get the %^&* thing to prime. I've gone through the settings and don't see anything that might help. I've also looked at the gcode:
Code: Select all

M83
M106 S0
M140 S60
M190 S60
M104 S195 T0
M109 S195 T0

G1 Z0.200 F9000

G1 X6.450 Y0.501 E0.0251 F1200
G1 X6.472 Y0.521 E0.0009
G1 X6.785 Y0.834 E0.0140
G1 X6.805 Y0.856 E0.0009
There is an odd G1 E-2.0000 F2700 command that retracts and then when it starts printing the skirt it does the advance of 2mm so, in theory, it should start laying down plastic almost immediately. Any one have this problem and/or know what to do to fix it before I shelve it for another year?
