Thanks for the link to TeachingTech's page, @eduncan911 - Very informative page. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the gcode generated on that site to work. I've tried the first layer and retraction tests, and both will initiate a print, but as soon as the printer self calibrates and warms up, it says it is finished without having laid a single layer. The website is pretty self explanatory, so the parameters to generate the gcode all seem pretty clear, except for the ABL part. From what I can tell, the 3D45's auto calibration is a function of the printer independent of the gcode, so I selected no ABL. I've used the digilab cloud to initiate the prints, as well as a USB stick with similar results. Although, when the prints initiated via cloud "finish", the cloud interface shows 0% progress for a long time until I abort. The screen on the printer says it was completed like normal.
I know the 3D45 is supposed to work with standard gcode files in addition to the g3drem files, but does anyone else have issues with .gcode files? I do have the "Prioritize gcode settings" option ON in the advanced settings.
I should also say that I am new to 3D printing about a month ago, and I have a mechanical engineering background. To this point I have been very happy with the 3D45 with largely successful prints (only minor issues with elephant's foot). I have been using the cloud based slicer mostly, in addition to the Dremel Slicer, but I don't love either of them. I am planning to get Cura working so I have more control over some settings. I was hoping to go through the test prints on the TeachingTech site before I started learning the new software, but I'm discouraged I can't get them to print.

Anyone have any ideas what my issue is?
