_Calibration-200x200.g Print Fails On Start(Heaters Turn Off)

[ghost]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with getting my printer to print the 200x200 calibration build. I have already gon through homing X,Y-axises and zeroing Z-axis as,well as bed-plane leveling. I have also gotten my extruder to extrude alittle using the web interface and some G-codes. MY PROBLEM IS: when I go to print ._Calibration-200x200.g(or any file) in the web interface, my bed heater and hot-end heater both turn off and nothing happens. Is there something wrong with the print file? or maybe my config.g? I can't find how to edit the ._Calibration-200x200.g. Can some one tell me where this file is located? or if there exists a newer file i should be using instead?

Thanks, Tryg

Hi Tryg This isn't a firmware issue, it's a settings problem. Most likely either your hot end 'tool' is not set to T0 that the gcode asks for, or there is some other issue. Please email support@reprappro.com with your problem, what printer you have, and any other relevant setup information. Also please send your config.g file, and tell me what firmware version you are using (send M115 to the printer). Make sure you print the 'Calibration-200x200.g' file, not one named with an '_' at the beginning; these are temporary files, not print files. Ian RepRapPro tech support

Oh, I seam to have been trying the wrong file. That fixed my problem, although, I'm still having some issues: The calibration peice starts before the hot end is actually hot enough, causing the E-motor to click abit before it actually start extruding. Also, whenever i try to heat bed and hotend simultaniously from room temperature, it overloads my UPS. Is it necessary for the hot end to draw so much power will heating upto standby? I am using version 1.09 It looks like there is a new version available, I'll check that out and see if it helps

Thanks Again,

again, M115: FIRMWARE_NAME:RepRapFirmware FIRMWARE_VERSION:1.09 ELECTRONICS:Duet (+ Extension) DATE:2015-04-21

it looks like the recent update is also version 1.09. What is the difference from what i am using?

I think my extrusion problem was with my Z-probe settings, and not the heater.. Looks like this thread can be closed...

Thanks again

Hi trybry25 Great, glad you got going. The current firmware is v1.09; there may have been an update to the Readme or some other minor file changes to the SD image, but not to the firmware. It sounds like you were starting the print too low, blocking the nozzle with the bed, but I think you have sorted that out now, too. If you have any more support-type questions, please email us on support@reprappro.com - the 'Issues' part of github is more for actual firmware-related issues. Ian RepRapPro tech support
