Checking out my Saurus with Flashforge under OctoPrint

Since my Bresser Saurus is an refined Flashforge Finder II. Bresser Put some of …their own logo stickers on it, but thats it. ![](https://www.bresser.de/out/pictures/master/product/2/e342761badd8ffd2ec7a567abe817717_2010300_m_9.jpg) It can connect under Octoprint which @Mrnt his plugin. /Bows I can play with the lights, move the head, move the bed. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118630230-a25bc000-b7ce-11eb-9757-6b25bd98a34b.png) What i not can is Put motors on or off, and Fan on or off. But when you press Fan off, and the fan is blowing from old session. And you spamm on Fan off, you hear actually slowing down the fan, but when your stopped spamming the button, its spool up to its normal rpm again. So i made an bed level test, to test out printing directly from Octoprint to the Saurus/Flashforge ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118629776-35e0c100-b7ce-11eb-9829-39d1c7c3b484.png) I loaded it into OctoPrint. When i press print, i get a warning ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118630506-dafb9980-b7ce-11eb-85b1-fc2b6ab5e132.png) The Extruder heats up till 220c, until i cancel the session or when i go to temperature tab and put the tool manual off. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118630899-447ba800-b7cf-11eb-9853-b491078a47b2.png) So i wanted to make a debug file for the guys who are working on this communication-plugin. So i went to logging and enable as shown below ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118631496-d84d7400-b7cf-11eb-9eb0-3689503888e8.png) I pressed save, and checked again. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118632152-6e819a00-b7d0-11eb-93d3-f0b534849f6b.png) But i experienced more often in Octoprint when you press save buttons, that it isnt really saving. Dunno why, but i adressed this to the maker of OctoPrint. So what i did was rebooting the whole system and redo all the logging settings again for your flashforge plugin. and Voila! ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118633337-a76e3e80-b7d1-11eb-9c94-c26d727e5bff.png) Lets redo the bed level test again and gets some files out of this machine.... ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118634045-688cb880-b7d2-11eb-85b0-59bbe267cb28.png) This time after a reboot system, when i started the bed level test again, the fans are spinning, the extruder is warming up, and then i get the "Not sending "M140 S0 T0", printer profile has no heated bed. Either configure a heated bed or remove bed commands from your GCODE" warning again. But i can press print. Last time when i was messing with this, the extruder bangs into the side of the bed. Now actually the bed move a little center middle height, what it normally also does when i print from Rexprint (flashprint). Pressed print. Silence.......Printer warms up......and cools down again.. https://youtu.be/jIpRoj9Ffp0 Then i realise when i sliced the bed level test, i saw nothing on the bed. Maybe that is the problem, why its not printing. So this time we take a simple cube. A 20x20x10mm Cube. An brimm around it, because its verry tiny. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118635864-5ca1f600-b7d4-11eb-92d3-2bd1991442c6.png) Load and locked and pressed print. Watching carefully. Printer is heating up, Extruder is warming up. I check temp, check, i check G-code Viewer, and then uhm ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118636479-08e3dc80-b7d5-11eb-8ae4-ae43bfd7ca2c.png) Hey Cube, dont you need to be in the Center of the bed? Still get warning from " Not sending "M140 S0 T0", printer profile has no heated bed. Either configure a heated bed or remove bed commands from your GCODE". Waiting...Waiting...Waiting...and then i suddenly hear the extruder/head moving. Oh boy.... He went this time to the center of the bed (but remember that g-code viewer showed left under?), instead banging into the side, where it still left his marks (2 weeks ago) Made some whole video from the situation. https://youtu.be/CxScKizio0k It does something. It wants to print, makes weird noises which arent normal. Is verry slow, like he needs to think what he must do next. So i let him do this a few square rounds, but then canceled the session because i dont want to break my printer. Do you know where i can get the flashforge logging which i enabled? ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3933702/118638991-b657ef80-b7d7-11eb-8376-3c41be9fc245.png) @Mrnt I am pretty techinical. I worked for over 18 years as an Senior Networkspecialist at a big dutch company. But since 2018 i got sick, and anxiety problems. Problem was, is that i was walkinkg around with 18 years of mental problems. Keeping away emotions. Just keep going on work, even if you have alot of downs. This resulted in heavy physicial health problems. Anyway i am in therapy now, and i have a long way to again, so i have plenty time for this 3d printing Job. If you need any help, let me know. sorry for my long text/picture story 🍡
