Home JGAurora A5 & A3S Getting Started & Troubleshooting

A3S V1 Air Prints from Z at Which Temperature is Set, Unless G28 (Home Extruder) is Added Manually

I was solving this with "baby-" but now have an automatic workaround. The nozzle doesn't go back down to the bed after raising the nozzle to wait for temperatures to be reached. I must set home after that by manually editing the gcode. That is the only way it will work (see below). If I enable mesh leveling after that, it fails too (commented in code below). Why does this happen? 
The first part of the code (with the workaround) is below.

; external perimeters extrusion width = 0.44mm (2.08mm^3/s)

; solid infill extrusion width = 0.46mm (1.26mm^3/s)

The "code" and "pre" tags show up fine if I click preview on the post, but not when I click on the article. I tried "code spoiler" but then the preview actually removed the code when I click preview (only showing links), and ignores newlines. I'm using "pre" inside of a spoiler for now. Here's a Pastebin link in case it still doesn't display correctly: https://pastebin.com/KEygJuwe

    This problem is apparently solved! I used the recommended start (with wipe) gcode (and end gcode--unrelated) from here: https://jgaurorawiki.com/start-and-end-gcode

    I will post more information after I try re-adding the  M420 S1 ; enable mesh bed leveling (Pinches, 2018) line (from https://jgaurorawiki.com/a5/mesh-bed-levelling-routine) after the existing G28 (home all axes).

    No idea what's going on with pre and code tags... vanilla forum is in active development, and small things tend to break and be fixed from version to version. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have to keep that in mind to check out one day. pastebin is a good solution in the meantime, otherwise I typically fix posts manually as I see them.
