Hi All,
I have been using Prusa slicer since the start of my printing. I am trying to switch over to Cura
and i am having difficulties with the start & end G-code. i have tried learning the G-code
and feel it is over my head. Is there a generic Start & End G-code that i can copy and
past to Cura? I realize some of the code would not work for me… But on the other hand right
now i can’t get it to do anything.

I have been using this G-code for Prusa slicer
Start G-code

G28
SAVE_GCODE_STATE NAME=STATE_G32
QUAD_GANTRY_LEVEL
M83 ; extruder relative mode
M140 S{first_layer_bed_temperature[0]} ; set final bed temp
M104 S170 ; set temporary nozzle temp to prevent oozing during homing and auto bed leveling
G4 S10 ; allow partial nozzle warmup
G28 ; home all axis
G1 Z50 F240
M104 S{first_layer_temperature[0]} ; set final nozzle temp
M190 S{first_layer_bed_temperature[0]} ; wait for bed temp to stabilize
M109 S{first_layer_temperature[0]} ; wait for nozzle temp to stabilize
G92 E0
RESTORE_GCODE_STATE NAME=STATE_G32

End G-code

G91 ;Relative positioning
G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit
G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z
G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ;Wipe out
G1 Z10 ;Raise Z more
G90 ;Absolute positionning
M104 S0 ;Turn-off hotend
M140 S0 ;Turn-off bed
M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z

Thanks in advance

Cura uses different place holders/tokens.

You can find them here:

If you are familiar with Prusa Slicer, then you may tray Orca Slicer
It has some nice features:
