Posted · Cura turning temps to zero at start?

For some reason I can't figure out, Cura is turning the extruder temp and bed temp to zero after bed leveling and during the first layer of my print. I tested by printing with a temp tower gcode from Thingiverse so as to bypass Cura and it printed fine. I'm sure it's not in my start code, I disabled almost all of it to double check. I pulled the code from terminal in Octoprint and it's throwing a M140 and M104 S0...but why?

    The partial log shows the M140 S0 and M104 S0 that you mention. It would be useful to know if they are also in the uploaded gcode. In the Files box on the left in OctoPrint, you can also download the gcode file. Please inspect it to see if the offending M104 and M104 are also in there. If not, it is not Cura doing this, but it might be something OctoPrint or a plugin in OctoPrint does.

    Hmm, you're right, I don't see it in the gcode file when I export it out of Cura?

    Try starting OctoPrint in safe mode. That (temporarily) disables all plugins. Check if the wrong temps are still sent

     

    Ok, printing through safe mode does NOT send the wrong temps. Think I should uninstall all the plugins and then reinstall them one by one?

    Instead of uninstalling them, you can also disable them and reenable them one by one.

    Just dropping this here. I have gotten this 2 times where hotend 1 reads zero. I had my ender 3 hooked up to my MacBook Air via USB. I preheated the hotend and cancelled the print and it seemed to start working again. Not sure why. I'm a novice but if another novice stumbles hopefully it fixes your situation

    USB printing is deprecated and no longer supported. It's a relic from a bygone era where printers were too stupid to even read a memory card themselves so had to be hand fed instructions one at a time.

     

    It's recommended that you should copy your gcode files to a memory card/USB drive/whatever your printer takes as it is much more reliable than printing over USB from your main computer.
