Printing Rafts using v3.1

Posted · Printing Rafts using v3.1

Several times while printing a raft I get a message on my display that says wait for input. Pushing the displays button allowed me to continue printing a number of times. A t one point my machine stopped responding to the push button. Printing without a raft works well. Any ideas?

    During printing without a raft I  now have received "wait for input". Has anyone had this situation?

     

    Nope, it sounds like your printer interprets one of the gcodes as a pause command.

    Welcome to the forum, b.t.w.!

    It would be very helpful if you could mention which printer you're talking about - and which printer profile of Cura you use... (as a minimum...)

    My printer is the BQ Prusa I3 Hephestos. I am using the fine profile. I had an old firmware so I updated it with their latest. Same thing. I never had this issue with older Cura versions eg. 15.04. I have also tried two different laptops, one running Windows 7, the other running Windows 10. This has happened on different print files also. My next try will be to save the G-code and print it using 15.04.

    I switched to v15.04. V15.04 was not able to display the complete G-code. I sliced the STL file with v15.04 and it printed without a problem. I again tried v3.1 and of course I received wait for user input multiple times. The size of the print is 130 x 94 x 27mm....

        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.
