@fcwilt yes have them

I don't think having an empty file would lead to that message. And the M116 is just waiting for the tool heater to reach temp.

Maybe that code is in your slicer. You are using IdeaMaker?

@fcwilt yes i am using ideamaker

I don't use that but I have it. I will take a look at its code generation and see if it could be the source of that message.

@icy_snake

In IdeaMaker under Filament Settings there is this place for Custom GCode. Do you have anything there?

This sounds like a modix macro. When and where do you see this message?

[ICY_SNAKE]

@fcwilt Good morning, no i have nothing there

[ICY_SNAKE]

@phaedrux I pretty sure there is no macro.
I see the message during printing.

[Phaedrux]

Can you zip up your full config file set and share it here?

That message is coming from somewhere. Possibly a filament sensor?

Is it coming continuously when printing?

[ICY_SNAKE]

@phaedrux yes it is coming always.

@phaedrux I cannot upload a zip or rar file??

Morning.

IdeaMaker uses what they call Templates. Templates have several places where code can be entered.

For whatever template is being used when you get the filament message check all of the possible code places shown below:

d when you get the filament message

All tabs are empty, already checked.

Well this is curious. I'm running out of ideas.

Do you have a start.g file?

you can change the extension to .txt and upload it or use a file sharing cloud service.

[ICY_SNAKE]

@phaedrux
ok here as a txt
icy_modix60_setup .txt

Hey it worked.

@icy_snake

Check the contents of pause.g.

I meant you should look at it as it is the source of the filament change message you mentioned in an earlier post.

the filament change message you mentioned in an earlier po

yes we have the macro which gives the message but not sure why it comes up during printing.

As i wrote in an other post that there are problems with statics voltage, do bad design of the printer.

I added ground to all metall pieces, had to get ride of paint etc.

Now i can touch the dispaly or printer without any failures or messages on the display.

my feeling is the reason was the missing grounding.

I´m printig now a big part, total progress 540h . already 96h done.

Thx for your help
