Full control but never starts print

[tgrand9296]

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?

Hello,

@tgrand9296

Have you tried running in safe mode?

not sure how to do that

Ok, I have it running in safemode now and tried to print and never starts printing, terminal just provides temp output

Never actually starts running the gcode of the print.

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

Put tape on the 5V pin - Why and how

First of all this whole tutorial isn't a mandatory mod - you just need it if you run into issues (weird things are happening and you've already ruled out the more common suspects) or if the always running fan and illuminated display (even when the printer is turned off) disturbes you. I'm starting with the why part: If you connect a 3D printer via USB to your Raspberry Pi it can lead to all sorts of power related issues. Most of the time those issues occur only if you turn on your pi before …

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?

[tgrand9296]

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