When ever I check "Retract on layer change" in Slic3r it generates a negative value in the gcode. So as soon as Rostock goes into the second layer it digs into the bed due to Slic3r generating a negative Gcode value upon commencing into the 2nd layer. Is there anyone here that has experienced this kind of problem?
I am using Repetier Firmware and Repetier Host with Slic3r.
Retract On Layer Change creating "-" Gcode Values.

Re: Retract On Layer Change creating "-" Gcode Values.
Retract on Layer change should only affect the extruder nothing else, and it's quite likely it generates a negative value for than because it does a G92 E0 at the start of a layer.elqisqeyano wrote:When ever I check "Retract on layer change" in Slic3r it generates a negative value in the gcode.

Can you paste the GCode you think is causing the issue here?

Re: Retract On Layer Change creating "-" Gcode Values.
I changed some stepper settings from 8 to 16 in repetier firmware and now it's not generating negative values. I tried different layer heights and it appears to have rectified the problem. At least I hope it did. I can't generate a negative value now, next time it does I will copy and paste to here. Thanks for the help though.Polygonhell wrote:Retract on Layer change should only affect the extruder nothing else, and it's quite likely it generates a negative value for than because it does a G92 E0 at the start of a layer.elqisqeyano wrote:When ever I check "Retract on layer change" in Slic3r it generates a negative value in the gcode.
