Octoprint & Ultimaker start without any heating

Get Help
1

I am using the latest version of Octoprint (1.3.9) on my Ultimaker 2 with Tinkergnome Firmware 17.10.01 Whatever I do, octoprint starts printing immediately. No nozzle heating, no bed heating.

If I use a finished sliced GCode file cut by S3D, or the Octoprint CuraEngine, imported Cura 15.04.5 profile, - Octoprint ignore the heating process completely.

Here are the start codes - any ideas?!?? By the way, the Octoprint Gcode scripts are all empty. Printing via SD Card without using Octoprint, everthing works fine.

If your printer is driving on past blocking commands like M190 then it's the firmware rather than OctoPrint, right?

Read things

"Bug in the firmware, I made a mistake and this swapped the "wait for heating" to "wait for cooldown" on the bed M190 command. I've fixed it for the next version..."

So it should hopefully be fixed soon. In the mean time you can manually heat the bed via the Maintenance menu. I usually start heating the bed when I sit down to do the slicing so it's close to hot when I want to start printing.

Sounds like you need to chase a newer firmware version for yours.

You have to make sure you don’t slice for with the “UltiGcode” gcode flavour, but use “Marlin” instead. UltiGcode uses its own start sequence controlled by the printer firmware, but this does not work when printing over USB.

WTF :hot_face: - the reason for all my problems is Octolaps.

I'm using Octolaps in version 0.3.4rc1.dev3 Maybe the Test Mode option is a new feature as I've never done this before. I'm pretty sure I didn't select this option - it has to be set by default - maybe?!?

The function of this option is :

............................................................................................................................
Test your time-lapse settings without using a filament. This function is experimental, so make sure you unload your filament and monitor your printer during the test.
.............................................................................................................................

Thus, all extrusion and heating settings are overwritten by the Octolaps test mode. To remember this function, a popup window would be a nice tool :exploding_head:

Thanks for letting us know but now casually stroll like DiCaprio over to the repository for OctoLapse and let the author know in the Issues section. That's the best way of getting this updated.
