Head stops after print leaving unwanted blob on print.
-
Hello,
Whenever a print finishes, the head stops right above it and then moves in like a minute leaving a blob or melted spot in print. If I keep all settings the same and print in Marlin there is no issue, so my guess is that the firmware is causing something:
End of GCODE FILE:

@TRATOON said in Head stops after print leaving unwanted blob on print.:
G91 ;Relative positioning My end gcode in slicer beigins here
G1 E-40 F2400 ;Retract
G1 Z15 F2400 ;Raise Z
G1 E-40 F2400 ;RetractAdd command M83 after G91. In RRF, G91 sets axis movement to relative but not extruder movement.

@dc42 What exactly would that command do? Also, I'm using E3D hemera direct drive are the 2 x 40 mm retractions too much? If so, what should my end Gcode look like the as soon as the print is done it moves to the corner, retracts all the filament out of the hot end, and then cools down?

@TRATOON your file has been sliced in absolute extrusion mode and the final extruder position is 2504mm. So the G1 E-40 command in your end GCode will retract 2544mm of filament, unless you use M83 to select relative extrusion first.

This is exactly what happens when I slice for Marlin instead of RepRap in CURA.
Make sure your slicer is set to RepRap and it should automatically fix the issues as explained by everyone above.
