DBot Not Printing
-
Tried Slic3r as well same result, seems to have something to do with when it homes it have the first initial heating
-
How odd. Have a look at the gcode file to see what is in the start gcode (the code put in by s3d/slic3r at the beginning before the print starts) to see if any of that is weird. The wiki has a list of all the gcodes and their usage which can be a handle reference.

If I understand correctly, the problem occurs after the printer has homed? In which case, it could be something screwy with your homing files. Can you post them. Ian

@deckingman yeah seems to happen right after it homes. Im using a config generated by the configuration tool
; Relative positioning
G91; Lift Z
G1 Z5 F6000; Course home X or Y
G1 S1 X-305 Y305 F1800
; Course home X
G1 S1 X-305
; Course home Y
G1 S1 Y305: Move away from the endstops
G1 X5 Y-5 F6000; Fine home X
G1 S1 X-305 F360
; Fine home Y
G1 S1 Y305; Move Z down until the switch triggers
G1 S1 Z-305 F1800; Absolute positioning
G90; Tell the firmware where we are
G92 Z2.5; Uncomment the following line to lift the nozzle after probing
;G1 Z5 F100 -
Here is also part of the GCODE from one of the test cubes
M107
M190 S65 ; set bed temperature
M104 S215 ; set temperature
G28 ; home all axes
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzleM109 S215 ; wait for temperature to be reached
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion
G92 E0

Well did more testing seems its not based on the homing it based on the heated bed coming to temp or right when it switchs from telling it to finish heating the bead and start heating the nozzle
The process is upload, heated bed get to 65C , it homes and then says its finished
-
Your cube gcode waits for bed temperature to be reached, but it doesn't wait for hot end temperature to be reached. It's probably a setting in your slicer. Or you can add M116 to your slicer start gcode to force it to wait.Scratch that, somehow I overlooked the M109. -
I finally figure it out, after it homed twice for some reason it killed the job.
I changed the config provided below for homeall and now its printing.
Now just have to tune the extrusion
G91 ; relative mode
G1 S1 X-240 Y260 F3000 ; course home X or Y
G1 S1 X-240 ; course home X
G1 S1 Y260 ; course home Y
G1 X4 Y-4 F600 ; move away from the endstops
G1 S1 X-10 ; fine home X
G1 S1 Y10 ; fine home Y
G91
G1 Z5 F6000
G1 Z-305 S1 F1800
G90
; Tell the firmware where we are
G92 Z0 -
@dc42 in the gcode isnt that what m190 does ?
