Printer not working after Cura update.


Recommended Posts

Posted · Printer not working after Cura update.

Hello everyone. I have this issue, hope somebody can help me: 

 

I have a Prusa with Marlin firmware. It have been working fine, up to I decided to update my Ultimaker Cura slicer from 3.2.1 to 4.6 (latest version until now). 

 

Now, printer doesn't work. This is what happens on Cura: 

- Printer gets connected as usual.

- Extruder temp shown a fixed 358°C value with extruder at ambient temp (about 20°C). 

- When bed heater order is sent from Cura, cooling fan starts (such as if ports were swiped). 

- When bed temp sensor is disconnected, extruder temp shows 0°C, and viceversa for the extruder temp sensor. 

 

What I found when tried to open Repetier Host: 

 

- When connected, it shows: "Extruder switched off. MAXTEMP triggered !". 

- X and Y axis works fine. 

- Z axis sometimes doesn't word. 

- Cooling fan works fine. 

- Bed heater and extruder don't work (heaters don't turn on). 

- Bed heater temperature is shown fine. 

 

What I have tried so far: 

- Send M999 code. Nothing happend. 

- Send M562 to reset temperature fails. 

- Send D0 and D1 to clear EEPROM and Reset. Echo: Unknown command. 

- Sensors are ok, I tested them and in both cases resistance is about 100k. 

- I uploaded again Marlin software to the Arduino (the version I was using and I was sure it was working fine). 

- I uninstalled 4.6 version and downloaded 3.2.1 again, but the problem is still there.

 

Be warned that I haven't made any change in the printer hardware or connections. Just updated Cura software and that made all this ha´ppenns. Hope you can give me some tip to help solving it. Thank you. Gabriel.

        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.
