FYI: Invalid BFB file through wrong region settings

Post by evekites »

This thread is for everyone using region settings in Windows with a decimal comma instead of a decimal point.

I've been using kisslicer for a long time now, with a Cubex printer and Cubitmod.

Suddenly my Cubex complained that there was an invalid line in my bfb files. Previous created bfb files were no problem at all, but all bfb files created from that moment on gave the same error (line 12). Comparing the contents of those files with previous files, I noticed that the problem file used comma's instead of decimal points. Checking the output from kisslicer before it was processed by Cubitmod, I noticed the same behavior, so it was not related to CubitMod nor to my printer.

After changing the Decimal Symbol from "," (comma) to "." (point) and the 'Digit grouping symbol' from "." (point) to "," (comma) my printing problems were gone.

I always have my region settings on Dutch decimal comma and Digit grouping points, so I don't understand why It gave a problem all off a sudden.

The following lines are from a problem file and gave an error on my Cubex (after being processed by Cubitmod off-course).

Code: Select all

G1 X-18,72 Y0,22 Z0,45 F30000,
G1 X-18,72 Y0,22 Z0,2 F150,
; extruder on
M101
G1 X-18,81 Y1,86 Z0,2 F1197,1
G1 X-19,09 Y3,54 Z0,2 F1197,1

Below are a few lines from an old file (this printed correct)

Code: Select all

G1 X-18.72 Y-0.15 Z0.45 F30000
G1 X-18.72 Y-0.15 Z0.2 F150
; extruder on
M101
G1 X-18.8 Y1.66 Z0.2 F1197.1
G1 X-19.02 Y3.16 Z0.2 F1197.1
Below are the settings that resulted in successful bfb files again.

Hi.

I have tested this with KISS 1.64 and am unable to replicate the problem. Which version of KISS are you using where the problem occurs?

Also, what operating system/version are you using?

Thanks

Peter
