Posted · my ultimaker stopped for second time in the same position but in different file printing object

hi to all, I have a big problem. during the printing of a group of object, my Ultimaker Original stopped to print after about 4 ours in a specific point - about after 40 mm hight. I've tryed to print a different file - composed also by a goup of object - but it's stopped after about the same time printing around the same previous position. the Z AXIS is free - I can mouve it easly by hand. is the first time that happens this problem and I must close the prototype tomorrow morning. printing time previous around 15 hours... Please someone help me!!!!

    Step 1: Install prontrface. It's free and easy to use:

    printrun/pronterface/prontrface download:

    http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/

     

    You will need to connect to your printer with USB cable. In pronterface click "connect" and it should connect to your printer and read back information about it such as the firmware version and acceleration settings.

    Step 2:

    Home Z axis

    Step 3:

    Move Z axis to various heights. I recommend like this

    G0 Z50

    G0 Z0

    G0 Z100

    The above 3 commands move to height 50, then 0 then 100. You enter these commands in the bottom right area.

    See if the Z axis gets stuck somewhere.

    Is it possible that your issue has nothing to do with the Z axis? Are you printing over USB? This is very unreliable - printing with SD card on ulticontroller is much much more dependable. If you don't have an ulticontroller, try using a different computer - preferably a laptop and a different USB cable if possible, or try using a USB hub (they cost about $10) to buffer/strengthen the USB signal. Could it simply be that your screensaver came on?

      • 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.
