Suddenly will say "Failed to Establish Connection with the Printer"

Posted · Suddenly will say "Failed to Establish Connection with the Printer"

All of a sudden, my computer will just stop being able to connect to my printer. I get the "failed to establish connection with the printer" error.. However, when I plug in the ultimaker with my USB cable, I get the "ba-dum" sound from windows, and everything is plugged in (I can hear the fan running).

It's strange, this will actually happen while I'm testing it. For example, while I'm doing one of the alignment runs, the block temperature will start rising, and then all of a sudden just stop.

Error log:

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

Serial port list: []

Failed to open serial port (AUTO)

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

    This happens to me a lot so I usually print with the ulticontroller. Much more reliable.

    I don't have an answer for you, sorry. Oh - I found it helps if I set the print temp to 0 because it most often loses connection when waiting for print head temperature to stabilize.

    Well, much the same with me. I run a print, then if I want to run a second print, I get "Serial Timeout exception" and the machine cannot connect anymore. Unplugging the usb cable, turning off the printer, restarting CURA, nothing works except a total restart of the computer.

    Pronterface works all the time though....any ideas?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
