Print won't start

baballuci · 14 Mar 2017, 20:52

Hi guys, i'm slowly making progress with my Duet Wifi.

It's all connected, motors are working OK, homing works, i just can't print anything.

I upload a file to the sd card, start the print, it all heats up, homes, and that's it…. , print status says 100% complete.

Are there any messages in the Console page of Duet Web Control?

baballuci · 14 Mar 2017, 22:21

No nothing.

Here is the beginning of the gcode file.

I thought it might be a problem with the G29 so i commented it out, but still the same

dc42 · 15 Mar 2017, 06:46

The T0 should really be earlier in the file than the M104 and M109 commands, but that shouldn't matter with firmware 1.17e. The M204 command won't be recognised and should provoke a warning, but nothing worse.

baballuci · 15 Mar 2017, 15:30

I just created a gcode file with just print moves, no heaters or extrusion.

I uploaded it to the duet and still the same thing happend.

I then removed the G28 and it starting moving/printing.

Any ideas?

Here are a few lines from the file

Is homing all working? This bit of homeall.g looks strange to me:

; Go to first bed probe point and home Z
G1 X-36 Y-20 F6000

Do you really want to move that far off the bed to home Z using the Z probe?

baballuci · 15 Mar 2017, 20:19

I'm not sure what that part is. The homeall.g was generated by the online tool.

I've now changed it to

[c]

G1 S1 X-250 Y-185 F1800 ; Course home X or Y
G1 S1 X-250 ; Course home X
G1 S1 Y-185 ; Course home Y

G1 S1 X-250 F360 ; Fine home X
G1 S1 Y-185 ; Fine home Y

G1 Z5 F6000 ; Lift Z

;G1 X-36 Y-20 F6000

and it seems to be working OK.
