M3D will stop on Raspberry Pi

[mdikov]

I tried several models that print without a problem on M3D default software. When I print via Octoprint on Raspberry Pi , the raft or the brim print fine than the printer will start the first layer and stop before it's done. The GCode viewer and terminal continue to send commands.

I also tried gcode generated on another Cura and the same happens.

Yes i have that too. But it seems model independent. I can try to send the exact same gcode to the printer - first time the m3d stopps at 60%, second time it justs prints thru fine.

[mdikov]

Is it possible that the serial connection drops? The interesting part is that the printer seems to be responding to the commands in terminal. Maybe a firmware or gcode incompatibility?

I can confirm this same issue. I'm using the raspberry pi zero. Both the Pi and the M3D are connected to a reliable power source. The M3D is connected to the Pi via a usb hub which also has a wifi adapter connected. I have had the printer freeze on all of my prints so far. I will check for any terminal output on my next attempt

I don't own or have access to a Raspberry Pi, and it's difficult for me to fix issues that I can't recreate. Can any of you provide an OctoPrint log of when this happens? It's located at ~/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log.

Actually it has been quite some time that this happend to me. Since i upgraded to 25 it happened once, then never again. Although i have tons of other problems with the m3d now, like skipping, not sticking to bed etc, overall bad print quality. Its that much that i'm pretty much fed up with it.

I can provide my latest logs later in the week.

Make sure your using M3D Fio's latest devel build when testing this issue so I can see if it hasn't been fixed yet. You can install using OctoPrint's plugin manager by installing a plugin from the following URL: https://github.com/donovan6000/M3D-Fio/archive/devel.zip

Here you go.

Also to confirm I upgraded to 0.26 from the develop branch.

Make sure your using M3D Fio's latest devel build https://github.com/donovan6000/M3D-Fio/tree/devel when testing this issue so I can see if it hasn't been fixed yet. You can install using OctoPrint's plugin manager by installing a plugin from the following URL: https://github.com/donovan6000/M3D-Fio/archive/devel.zip

@mdikov The problem is that the M117 command is used to display stuff on an LCD screen, and M3D's firmware doesn't recognize that command so it returns an error, e1. M3D Fio waits for an 'ok' response before sending the next command, so it's never able to send the next command which causes the print to stop.

The latest change to the devel branch adds M117 to list of commands that M3D Fio's validation pre-processor removes, so it should be able to print now.

Great. I'll check it out.

Just curious why would cura add this command? Perhaps there's a way turn this off in the cura profile.

@mdikov The M117 command is probably in the Cura profile's start or end G-code, which is why it gets added in.

Thank you @donovan6000! Works great now.
