Full control but never starts print

What is the problem?

Was able to successfully do 1 print from octoprint to the ender 3. Added 2 plug ins bed visualizer and octorpint anywhere. Since then was not able to print anything. Still have full control of temp and all motors.

What did you already try to solve it?

Uninstalled both plug ins restarted octoprint and printer.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

not sure how to do thatoctoprint-systeminfo-20220204104256.zip (5.4 KB)

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Never actually starts running the gcode of the print.

What printer do you use?

creality ender 3

Then you may try with/without SD card in the printer and also this:

From this temperature reporting, it looks like the printer is never getting up to temperature properly, so the print never starts. See the temperature is actually going down before it gets to 205.

You probably need to run a PID tune for the heater and save the configuration.

Are you using a self printed fan duct?

Pid tuning and silicon sock resolved the issue. printing great again and maintaining temp
