This is my 1st 3d printer. I did first prints from the sd card that came with it, and they were fine. But when I sliced and uploaded other models, the printhead crashes into the bed at the corner. I did auto leveling, z offset setting etc. according to the manual. I don’t think the issue is related to the sensor of the bed, it lights red when auto leveling/ when I put my finger close to it. I suppose the issue is the gcode files that I get, but I used the curaprofile and configured it according to the manual. While in original gcodes on the sd card, the printhead goes to the centre and the sensor sees the bed, in my gcodes it moves to front left corner and goes down, but the sensor doesnt see the bed… I don’t know where can I get the appropriate beginning of the gcode file, does anyone know how to fix this? (for clarification: I use cura 5.9.1, there is cura 4.8.0 on the sd card, but when I installed it, I couldn’t import the curaprofile from that card due to an error, so I downloaded the latest Cura)
Here are two gcodes that I’ve tried - one from the sd card that prints fine, and the one I got from cura that crashes the printhead into the bed…

Tronxy has responded to my question with this gcode:

But I haven’t tried it yet since I’ve found a temporary solution - I used Tronxy 1.4.15 slicer downloaded from tronxy’s website FAQ -- Slicing software supported by Tronxy 3D printer
Hello @Average_tronxy_user
A gcode doesn’t need to be configured by the slicer; it’s the result of the slicer; it’s already been configured. The gcode Tronxy provides has been configured for your machine.
From what you’re saying, I gather that Cura is incorrectly configured. Cura needs you to specify the machine it will be using. Tronxy machines usually come with a printed user manual that explains how to configure the different Cura, Silicer, and other laminating programs. Cura allows you to configure a machine that isn’t listed, specifying some parameters such as the print volume, etc.
First, go to the “Settings” menu, then go to “Printers,” and finally to “Add Printers.” A menu will appear where you must choose whether it’s an UltimakerCura machine or a machine from another manufacturer. Choose another manufacturer. Another screen will appear. Select “offline printer.” A menu with several printer brands and models will appear on the left. Scroll down until you find Tronxy and search for your printer. If it’s not listed, you’ll need to find a similar one and, from there, change the print volume settings, among other parameters. The technical support email address is support@tronxy.com; they can also help you. Good luck.
