Bed levelling wizard can't connect to the printer

Posted · Bed levelling wizard can't connect to the printer

Hi,

I just finished assembling my Ultimaker and am running through the different setup wizards. The "first run" wizard updated the firmware and otherwise ran flawlessly, connecting to the printer fine. However, the "bed levelling" wizard claims that it cannot connect to the printer. When I run it, the printer makes a noise as if one of the motors was trying to turn but nothing happens. So I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem.

Any help would be very much appreciated. I am running Cura on Ubuntu 12.10 and the output of the console is:

    This is exactly the problem I'm having also. My log looks exactly the same (see attached). The "First Run Wizard" works fine ... it uploads the Marlin firmware, then runs through the limit switch checks and head heater tests just fine. But - cannot connect the bed-leveling wizard.

    I figured ... what the heck, just level the bed manually and try to print. This turned out to be a very bad idea. It does not "home" the bed and printer head, but instead, slams the head into to stops. Had to yank the power cord to avoid disaster.

    The "bed leveling wizard doesn't home" is an unfortunate bug that got into the wizard.

    It's fixed for the 13.03 release. It will be announced soon, but for linux you can already download the .deb from http://software.ultimaker.com/Cura-13.03-debian.deb (The new .deb saves a lot of problems for linux users)

    The connection problems with the wizard seem to be related to the Linux release.

    Well, sadly, the 13.03 can't even open the USB port. Here's the whole log: (remember, the 12.12 version on this same machine opened the port, uploaded the firmware, and ran the "first run" wizard with no problems)

    Changing monitoring state from 'Offline' to 'Detecting serial port'

    Serial port list: ['/dev/ttyACM0']

    Connecting to: /dev/ttyACM0

    Error while connecting to /dev/ttyACM0: 'Timeout'

    Failed to open serial port (AUTO)

    Changing monitoring state from 'Detecting serial port' to 'Error: Failed to autodetect...'

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
