Hi,
New to Octoprint but I have been 3D printing a number of years on a Flashforge Dreamer using an SD card to transfer the gcode between computer and printer.
What is the problem?
Printing in the air after a mysterious z axis move that is not in the gcode (cgode below)
- Connected the printer and sent over some gcode created by the Flashforge slicer.
- Printer homes
- warms up
- Z axis moves 50mm off the bed
- XY move to the min (Front left of the printer)
- Moves to the XY start position
- Moves z to 0.2mm
- Then moves z axis to about 10mm above the bed
- starts to extrude and move
Thing is the move to z axis to 10mm above the bed is not in the gcode - so where is it coming from?
Thanks for your help
Ian
What did you already try to solve it?
Ran the Gcode line by line using the terminal and it does not do the move z axis to 10mm above the bed - so I am assuming that this command is coming from a setting in Octoprint but I can't find it.
Have you tried running in safe mode?
Yes - and it will not find the serial port in safemode, so didn't get far
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?
No
