Maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction, I recently installed KAMP on my creality K1C using the creality helper script.

The P part is working great, purge line moves around as expected, but if I start the print from orca slicer "upload and print" It doesn't seem to build a mesh at all, just touched the center of the plate and starts, if I start the print from the touchscreen it touches the corners, no matter how small the actual print is.

I activated label objects and exclude objects in orca, I even added the M117 command mentioned on the github. Anybody got any idea what I'm missing? The helper script wiki says it should be plug and play

Fascinating update, in playing around trying to fix the problem I accidentally broke my start gcode, all the newlines got mangled turning it essentially into one long line.

of course the print errored because I never set a first layer temp, but it bed leveled a small grid in the middle KAMP worked!

M117

M140 S0

M104 S0

START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] BED_TEMP=[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single]

So something in this start code is making the KAMP mesh not work, I'm going to try not calling START_PRINT and see what happens... in a few hours when this print is done
