3D Printing Forum

With the new Cura V4 where do I get the Cocoon Create Profile from?

I have tried coping from old Cura but it did not work properly. It did not go to the home position but started printing where the head was.

That would be a good question for the Ultimaker/Cura support forum
I don't think @nallath patrols the forum as much as he used to

Did you get an error message? They'd probably like to see that

I do not get any error and V4 goes to the home position when finished and cools down. That might be right.

I have put my questions to the forum you mentioned so I'll await the reply/s.

I also mentioned when trying to save a STL file as GCODE the save is not now coming up in the bottom right corner.

Thanks for the reply.

Hello Firepower glad you made it, have you had a chance to look around, this forum is packed full of good users an information.
If you can not find what you are looking for create a post someone will help you!

Thanks. Yes made it here. I have solved all the above problems but have only one problem left. (for now)

When I print it prints where ever the head is. It does not go to the home position when it starts.

I just installed this Cura PLA Profile V2. Wonder if this the right Profile for the Cocoon Create printer?

I guess this is the right Cura 4 for my Cocoon Create printer. It says Ultimaker Cura. I guess it is not just for the Ultimaker printer?

Hopefully someone has the answer.

Ultimaker inherited Cura

Ultimaker makes printers

Cura is a free piece of software that any printer can use

Some Cura features are native to their products.

If you own an Ultimaker, they have built in profiles for their printers. A real time saver!

Thanks for the advice.

Can anyone help with the following?

If you are using Cura 4.0, there is a printer profile specifically for your printer under 'other'. It includes start and finish gcode, which includes autohome (G28). Double check in machine settings that you have start and stop gcode set.

Also, which model of Cocoon printer do you have? There are several listed on that link.

As to Cura, there is only one Cura 4. Earlier versions (before the developer was hired by Ultimaker and Cura was rebranded) were shipped with a lot of printers with customization for that oem's printer. Ultimaker Cura, while owned by Ultimaker, has tried to help the community by including configurations for non-Ultimaker printers in the program, and also allowing users to create their own custom profiles.

Make sure you have G code set to Marlin and you have stuff in the Start gcode

Yep it is on Marlin but a listing of someones START GCODE would be handy to copy or modify.

I guess there is more in your Start GCODE than what is showing on the photo?

My startup G-Code looks much like the Ultimakers just a few added lines and a few taken away.

Yahoo I thought I had it but not yet.I copied your Start GCODE into mine and it went to home position but printed at the home position.

Then I noticed it was on Griffin and it went to the home position then raised and extruded some filament then went down and printed at the hope position.

I put it to Marlin and it printed at the home position but it did not go up and extrude filament first.

So now I need to get it to go to the middle and print.

Thanks for your help so far.

You should be able to set the middle, Say you have a 200x200 bed.
Set your last G28 like so

G28 X100 Y100 ;move X/Y to 100X100

I am not sure if I changed it as you said as follows:

But now it goes home and prints in the air the height the head was at. Previously it went home and went down and printed at the home position. Mine has a heated bed 214mm by 214mm on my Cocoon Create/Wanhao Duplicator i3 v2 printer.

Not sure if this is what you meant and still does not return to the centre of the bed to print.

G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min end-stops
G28 X100 Y100 ;move X/Y to 100X100

Well of course you have to have the "G28 Z0" to get to the bed. Should have been more specific

G28 X100 Y100 ;move X/Y to 100X100
G28 Z0 ;move Z to min end-stops
