I own an old Makerbot Replicator Clone, CTC Bizer. This worked fine with Simplify3D, but since I can't geht S3D working on my new Linux Notebook, I decided to switch to Cura.

This is what I found on the Interweb.

But that didn't work out for me. For some reason the set temperatures were wrong (exchanged?).

This is what I did:

  • Installed the X3G-Writer over the Cura Market Place
  • Added Makerbot Replicator machine
  • Setup Machine (note the center-option! (And no, flavour isn't right, but my version of Cura keeps resetting to Marlin…)):

  • Set start G-Code:

;{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} = Temperatur der Druckplatte fuer die erste Schicht
;Erzeugt am: {day} {date} {time} = Infoanzeige von Datum im Gcode an dem der Gcode erzeugt wurde
;{material_print_temperature_layer_0} = Drucktemperatur fuer erste Schicht (Materialtemp.)
;Material-Flow: {material_flow}% = Info über den gewaehlten Material-Flow

(**** start.gcode for The Replicator, dual head ****)
M103 (disable RPM)
M73 P0 (enable build progress)
G21 (set units to mm)
G90 (set positioning to absolute)
M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} (set EXTRUDER temperature, X3G-Plugin switches that?)
M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; wait for EXTRUDER final temp
M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} (set HBP temperature)
M133 T0 ; Stabilize right extruder temperature 

(**** begin homing ****)
G162 X Y F2500 (home XY axes maximum)
G161 Z F1100 (home Z axis minimum)
G92 Z-5 (set Z to -5)
G1 Z0.0 (move Z to "0")
G161 Z F100 (home Z axis minimum)
M132 X Y Z A B (Recall stored home offsets for XYZAB axis)
(**** end homing ****)
;G1 X-110.5 Y-74 Z150 F3300.0 (move to waiting position)
G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 (Lower stepper Vrefs while heating)
G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; Default stepper Vrefs
G92 A0 B0 ; Zero extruders
G1 X100 Y-70 F9000 ; Move to front right corner of bed
G1 Z0.3 F6000 ; Move down to purge
G1 X-90 Y-70 E24 F2000 ; Extrude a line of filament across the front edge of the bed
G1 X-100 Y-70 F180 ; Wait for ooze
G1 X-110 Y-70 F5000 ; Fast wipe
G1 Z0.5 F100 ; Lift
M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started)
  • Set End-G-Code:
M73 P100 ( End build progress )
G0 Z150 ( Send Z axis to bottom of machine )
M18 ( Disable steppers )
M109 S0 T0 ( Cool down the build platform )
M104 S0 T0 ( Cool down the Right Extruder )
M104 S0 T1 ( Cool down the Left Extruder )
G162 X Y F2500 ( Home XY endstops )
M18 ( Disable stepper motors )
M70 P5 ( We <3 Making Things!)
M72 P1 ( Play Ta-Da song )
