First print - Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed
-
Hi all,
I am switching on the printer. Didnt home it.
I am starting the print directly. After reaching the temperature it shows the error - Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed.
Then I give Print again, the temp reaches and the print starts without any issues.
Is it mandatory to home before starting the print?
Thanks

@selva_tvi said in First print - Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed:
............ Is it mandatory to home before starting the print?
Short answer - Yes.
Longer answer, if your print bed was say 200mm square, and you home the printer to the front left corner, then any moves up to 200mm in X and Y will work. But if the print head was anywhere other than X0 Y0 before you start a print, then any longish moves would be outside of the build area and the print head might crash into the frame and damage the printer. Homing is to establish a known start position.

@deckingman Sorry, I hope you misunderstood my question.
I start every print with G28 and G29, so Homing is mandatory.
My question is different.
I am switching on the printer. Didnt home it manually.
I am starting the print directly (the gcode is having G28, and G29). After reaching the temperature it shows the error - Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed.
Then I give Print again, the temp reaches and homing happens and the print starts without any issues.
Whenever it is not homed manually the first time the above error comes. Then the same starts without any issues for the 2nd time

@selva_tvi We'd need much more information. G28 will run the homing macros so you need to upload those. Also, if you are relying on the G28 command to be embedded in the gcode file, then please upload the slicer start code that you are using and also a sample of a the first few lines of a sliced gcode file up to the G28 command at least. You have provided very little information but it sounds like your start gcode contains an axis move command before the G28.

@selva_tvi
Do you have a start.g in you /sys directory?
Any movement here would happen before your print called G28 -
@OwenD There is no start.g used.

@selva_tvi @Phaedrux @OwenD Can you please check and update? Thanks
-
@selva_tvi When you start a print and get the error message about insufficient axes homed, what does the web interface show at that point? i.e which axes show as homed and which one (or ones) show as not homed?
-
@deckingman None of the axis are homed.
'Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed'
'The following axes are not homed: X, Y, Z, U'
I have sliced the file properly with start Gcode having G28 and G29.
Scenario 1:
I am switching on the printer. Directly starting the print.
It reaches the target temperature. Then it shows the following error ' 'Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed'
I am giving the print again. It reaches temperature and starts the print without any issues.
Scenario 2:
I am switching on the printer. Manually giving home all.
Then starting the print. It reaches temperature and starts the print without any issues.
So, the issue is for the first time giving print after switching on the machine

To help trace it down you can add M117 message commands between the lines in your homeall and slicer start gcode to see where it's getting thrown. That may help narrow it down.
