Incorrect Action When Purging Filament

[joesoap583]

During the startup script I like to purge material by issuing a G1 E25 F300 instruction. However more often than not when S3D executes that command the extruder unloades filament and I end up with several 10's of mm filament missing. Frequently this follows a previous print where the purge operation worked as intended, so I'm puzzled about why this isn't a robust operation.

I haven't managed to figure out why this is happening - can someone help?

I have this problem to on my Powerspec Ultra 2.0 also. After the initial wipe script the filament backs up at least a centimeter and this prevents starting of the skirt and if the part is small the first layer of the part. I cant find anywhere in the script that would make this happen. My fix is to manually advance the filament after the wipe while its printing the skirt.

Question:
what mode do you use? Relative or Absolut?

please attache your starting script.

M907 X100 Y100 Z40 A100 B100 ; Set motor current
G28 ; Home axes

M108 T0 ; Change to right extruder
M132 X Y Z A B ; Recall home offsets
G1 Z100 F3300 ; Lower Z
G1 X-110.5 Y-72 F6000 ; Move to wait position
M7 ; Wait for bed to stabilize
M6 T0 ; Wait for right extruder to reach target temp
G1 X-100 Y-72 F9000 ; Move to front left corner of bed
G1 Z0.3 F6000 ; Move down to purge
G92 E0 ; Zero extruders
G1 X90 Y-72 E24 F2000 ; Extrude a line of filament across the front edge of the bed
G1 X100 Y-72 F180 ; Wait for ooze
G1 X110 Y-72 F5000 ; Fast wipe
G1 Z1 F100 ; Lift

This is the starting script. Simplify put it in automatically. I am just starting to learn G-codes

It looks like 'absolute' values because the relative box is not checked.

It looks like 'absolute' values because the relative box is not checked.

Can you please go into the Process Settings for your printer and under the G-Code tab check the box labeled 'Allow zeroing of extrusion distances (i.e. G92 E0)'? This should ensure the printer zeros the extruder before printing.
