Setup icons have disappeared

What is the problem?

After installing the emergency stop plugin I can no longer see the wrench icon. I am running octoprint 1.3.8 on octopi 0.15. I cannot run the latest on the pi connected to my Geeetech A20M because any later versions of octoprint strip out the Tn tool change commands

What did you already try to solve it?

Have you tried running in safe mode?

no, cannot find config.yaml and could not find an SSH command to start in safe mode.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Hello @Mark_Leeber!

config.yaml is in the folder .octoprint . Notice the dot ahaed, it marks invisible folders and has to be typed in too.

It's written here safe mode ->

@Mark_Leeber

I am running octoprint 1.3.8

That is ancient, update please.

Continuing the discussion from Setup icons have disappeared:

OK, I gave up on recoving my install of Octoprint and started over with a fresh install of octopi buster lite 0.17. After wasting all kinds of time installing all the plugins I am back to an Octoprint installation that strips off all the Tn commands where n is the extruder number. I have tried this Octoprint configured with 2 extruders using a shared nozzle and 2 extruders with no distance between unshared nozzles. Is version 0.15 the only one that works with a Geeetech A20M???

Please enable and upload a serial.log, and the gcode file you are trying to print so we can compare them. If you read this post:

Invalid Tool Messages

I have a GeeeTech A10T printer. This printer has three extruders but one hotend. After a recent upgrade to OctoPrint I can no longer successfully print multicolor prints with OctoPrint. I didn’t realize it immediately because I wasn’t printing multicolor prints at the time. OctoPrint is updated to the latest version. The printer is running Marlin 1.1.8. I use Simplify3d, latest version as a slicer. Prior to whatever upgrade it was, I was using GeeeTech’s color mixer to do multicolor prints,…

The solution there may be relevant for you.

It does not make sense that Octoprint 0.15 allows tool change commands and 0.17 does not! My gcode prints find when printing from and SD card in the printer or via a cable from the computer. I followed the thread above but I should not have to modify GCode or add special settings in the slicer to account for obtrusive changes in Octoprint!!!!

@Mark_Leeber

Octoprint 0.15 allows tool change commands and 0.17

Please don't mix up OctoPi and OctoPrint. The version numbers you mention are OctoPi.

What is the difference between OctoPrint and OctoPi? Are they the same thing?

No, OctoPrint and OctoPi are not the same thing. OctoPrint is a fully featured print server/web interface for 3D printers, written in Python and HTML/JS. It is platform agnostic and runs basically everywhere where you can install Python (the full version, not Micropython), be it a cheap single PCB computer like the Raspberry Pi running Linux, a fully featured gaming PC running Windows, a Mac running MacOSX or a server running some BSD flavor. It was created and is actively maintained by Gina Hä…

The thing that is wrong here is most likely your slicer, not OctoPrint. In the thread we had before, there was this issue:

2021-01-12 11:57:32,049 - Send: N9 M104 S215 T1*47
2021-01-12 11:57:32,052 - Recv: echo:M104 Invalid extruder 1
2021-01-12 11:57:32,053 - Warn: T0 reported as invalid, reverting to T0
2021-01-12 11:57:32,054 - Recv: ok

Mixing extruders only have one heater. Which is why it makes sense, that it reports them as invalid and they don't work. This is your printer's firmware reporting them as invalid to OctoPrint, which then adjusts the gcode to fit with this. So you absolutely should fix your gcode and slicer settings, rather than just ignore the problem.

And I can explain your confusion: this is a new feature in OctoPrint, not OctoPi (which is a Raspberry Pi OS) that fixes problems with gcode that tried to print to non-existing extruders. Upload the serial.log and gcode file as requested if you want to get help, and solve this problem but otherwise you will be stuck.

[Mark_Leeber]

Yes, sorry my error. Octoprint version 1.3.8 running on Octopi 0.15 works great, both extruders work like they should (0 and 1 only, I am not trying to create virtual extruders by mixing portions of each physical extruder). With Octoprint 1.4.2 on Octopi 0.17 references to Tn commands error out and I can only use 1 extruder. I do not need a print server solution that tries to think for me, just pass my GCode through. I am using IdeaMaker as a slicer, I find it meets all my needs.

[Charlie_Powell]

You really don't want to sort the problem do you? I can't explain it more clearly, to enable the logs and send us the gcode file. It's probably a simple fix, but you are refusing to do it.

[Mark_Leeber]

Thank you for your willingness to help but I already put 1.3.8 back on and got it running again. If at some point in the future I opt to upgrade I will go through the process then. Thank you!
