Ultimaker 2 not heating or homing before print

Posted · Ultimaker 2 not heating or homing before print

Hello all,

Recently I started having problems with the Ultimaker 2 we have at my school. Sadly many of the people using the printer don't do their research before jumping in, which makes troubleshooting hard when nobody knows what they could have done to cause the problem.

Whenever I attempt to start a print from Cura, the printer just starts moving without first heating or homing. I've looked at start/end gcode, factory resetting firmware, and reinstalling Cura. The only other solution I can think of is to install fresh firmware, but the progress bar that comes up when I click "upload firmware" doesn't move, and the printer shows no activity.

If anybody has a fresh perspective I'd love to hear it.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
