Nozzle missing wiper when attempting to clean

I just updated the software from the og Cura Lulzbot edition to the newest one. Now when the nozzle cleaning process happens, it misses the pad completely. It’s a little above and a bit to the side. What should I do?

Hello,

In Cura LE, Machine Settings, the START GCode includes the following lines:

G1 X45 Y173 F11520 ; move above wiper pad

G1 Z0 F1200 ; push nozzle into wiper

Modifying the X and Y coordinates changes where the nozzle goes to put it above the pad. The Z coordinate in the second line pushes the nozzle into the pad. Decreasing it pushes it further.

Your coordinates may be different as the above are for a Mini 1. Successfully placing the nozzle is the start as the next 20 or so lines (commented as “wiping”) will also need to be modified to coordinate with the new location.

You may also want to try copying the old (working) start GCode to the new version rather than using the stock code from LulzBot. This may be quicker than the above, or may also give you the correct coordinates for your machine.

Hoping this helps,

Todd.
