No tool selected
-
I know I have seen this answered here somewhere but I cannot find it. I am getting the following error, it still prints but would like to know why, here is the error
5:00:02 PM
M32 THWACK.gcode
File THWACK.gcode selected for printing
Setting temperature: no tool selected.Here is my start code in S3D
G21; Metric Values
M116; wait for all temps
M561
T0
G28 ; home all axes
G32
G1 X0 Y50 Z0.3 F9600 ; Move forward to avoid binder clips
G1 X280 Z5 F3600 ; Move off platform
G1 Z1 ; Position nozzle above buildplate
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
G1 E25 F225 ; Purge left extruder
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
G1 X260 Z1 E1.0 F1200 ; Slow wipeMy last line in my config.g is TO

My guess is that this is happening after you have already printed one file (so there is no tool selected) and that before it outputs your start gcode, s3d is sending a M104 command without selecting a tool first.
Unfortunately most slicers don't handle tools properly and typically assume that when doing a single material print, there is only one tool and it is always selected.
S3d allows you to configure the commands you use to set temperatures, so you can tell it to use G10 commands instead. Then in your start gcode you can use T0 followed by M116.

This happens every time, first print of the day. when you say "tell it to use G10 commands instead", how do i tell it? Not that familiar with it.

Do you still get the message I you send T0 just before printing?
It would be helpful to see the first 30 or so lines of the gcode file, to see what s3d has inserted before your start gcode.

Will set up tonight and post

sorry it took so long. Here is what S3D is sending to printer:

Thanks for the gcode. I will investigate this later this week.
