Gcode generation in "TYPE SKIN"

[irmas]

My custom printer is having issues printing SKIN types.

My printer (basic and custom made) only prints when there is an E command on the line. I can not send an extruding distance to my extruder: I can only send an on/off command.

In theory the Gcode I posted below fills my part 100%. In practice, it is is only partly filled (because 2/3 of the lines do not contain an E command).

• Is there a way to force Cura to generate an E command at the end of each line ?

;TYPE:SKIN
G1 X256.424 Y149.737 E228.26498
G0 X256.565 Y149.596
G0 X256.308 Y148.722

Could you please attach your full gcode?

What version of Cura are you running?

If you're running Cura 2.4, could you attach your workspace?

You could make a post-processing script (called "plug-in" in legacy Cura) that does this for you. Every G1 command gets preceded by your "Turn extrusion on" command. Every G0 command gets preceded by your "Turn extrusion off" command.
