  1. Thanks for you your help! So I figured it out! The printer profile I was using had a 6mm retraction setting at 20mm / sec. In simplify3d I use 2mm @ 42mm/sec. This long slow retraction of 6mm was causing the problem. Those blue and red dots from the previous posts are the retractions. I was able to print with 2mm retractions at 42mm/sec, both the cube and scraper successfully without issue and the over hang printed fantastic with the scraper. I know have a pretty decent profile for my flashforge creator pro. Simplify3d was getting long in the tooth, especially with Cura and Prusaslicer adding a number of new features and plugins.
  2. Well I tried printing the x3g file created by cura direct on the my printer with the sdcard as my printer is a flashforge creator pro and runs on sailfish. It natively prints x3g files from the sdcard. When it got the that line 39 or so, it paused very quickly but continued to print. I reviewed the gcode file with octoprint and an online gcode view and you can see there are some weird dots, and this is where it pauses and stops extruding with octoprint. It also pauses here with the x3g file from the sdcard. From my understanding the blue dot is the beginning of the printing sequence and the red is the end. So there seems to be a start stop sequence in the middle at line 39 or so. I will have to trouble shoot this a bit more. This is a scraper that takes a disposable blade to clean the glass on my aquarium.
  3. So I think I am close to figuring out what is happing. Thanks for helping on this. I did another small print. At around Layer 35 or 36 the printer just stops extruding. It started printing after a layer or so. See the attached picture of the print. Along with the gcode file curascraper.gcode I copied the below 6 lines from the terminal window of Octoprint when I noticed it stopped extruding. I believe it was this underlined portion that caused this to happen.

  4. No change. When it starts to print line 23 it pauses very quickly, i can feel the print filament retract 1 or 2mm, and then it stops loading filament. Yes I have two extruders, just like this. Each one has a separate heating block and fan. They are completely independent form each other besides being mounted on the same carriage.
  5. That fixed it. It now prints, but not very well. The first layer is extremely under extruded but at about layer 23 in the attached gcode file the extruder just stops extruding. No filament gets extruded after line 23 (could be line22). I don't know what to look for in the gcode where the extruder is told to stop. Edit, just tried printing again and the extruder just stopped at about layer 32 this time. Nozzle is not plugged and its new. Prints fine with simplyfy3d slicing right after. Thanks. cube9.gcode
  6. I have made the changes, but I am guessing it is something within the cura slicer settings not the start gcode. Removed the fan set speed and changed the m140 and m104 commands. it preheats normally. Bed first then hotend. But when the print starts, the bed, hotend and the filament extruder are all disabled. It trys to print, but the fillimant will not extrude because the stepper is not turning and the bed and hotend just turn off. The temps don't even show up in the monitor screen on the printer. Once the print starts, the monitor temps just disapear on the screen. ( I am assuming because it turns off). Thanks for the helpl Edited start gcode sliced cura attached. ; **** Replicator 1 dual start.gcode **** M73 P0 ; enable build progress G162 X Y F3000 ; home XY maximum G161 Z F1200 ; home Z minimum G92 Z-5 ; set Z to -5 G1 Z0 ; move Z to 0 G161 Z F100 ; home Z slowly M132 X Y Z A B ; recall home offsets M135 T1 ; load left extruder offsets G1 X140 Y75 Z0.5 F800 ; move to wait position right hand side of the table G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 ; lower stepper Vrefs while heating M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} T0 M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} T1 M133 T1 ; stabilize left extruder temperature G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; default stepper Vrefs G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders G1 Z0.4 ; position nozzle M135 T1 ; left tool G1 X135 Y75 Z0.2 F1200 ; move over bed G1 X60 Y72 E20 F1200 ; purge nozzle ;G1 X50 Y72 Z0.2 F600 ; slow wipe ;G1 X50 Y72 Z0.5 F1200 ; lift G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started) ; **** end of start.gcode **** cube7.gcode
  7. When slicing in Cura, and using the sliced file either on Octoprint or on the SD card directly in the printer, the hot end and bed turn off as soon as the print begins. The initial heat up process work perfect. The bed heats, then the hot end heats. I have been using simplify3d for years without issue and it still works. I would really like to use Cura.
