The last two prints I have made finished with a giant glob of filament on the corner. Has anyone else run into this? I'm assuming it a problem with my G-Code.

Using Cura 15.04.6

Your gcode doesn't seem to the the same end code as the CURA profile provided on this forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/?#!topic/mod-t/7ang17Gyrzw).

Your end gcode:
M104 S0                     ;extruder heater off
M140 S0                    
;heated bed heater off (if you have it)
G91                                    
;relative positioning
G1 E
-1 F300                            ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure
G1 Z
+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000 ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more
G28 X0 Y0                              
;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
M84                        
;steppers off
G90                        
;absolute positioning


The profile end gcode:
G92 E0
G1 F360 E
-2
G1 F300 Z128
G1 F3000 X0 Y40
M104 S0

Thanks, I'll give that code a try. Think my settings were wiped when I updated Cura, and must have installed the wrong profile.

I had that exact same problem.  I am brand new to using Cura though, so I am not certain how to update the profile.
