1) Is the extruder motor turning during the print? Is the bolt turning with the big gear? (my gear was slipping on my bolt during first prints)
2) The default start.gcode in some version turns the heater off! Check for M104 or M105 in your generated GCode. If they are there you could use the Temperature plugin of SF to set the temperature. Or remove them from the start.gcode and disable the temparture plugin in SF, so you can use the manual control to set the temperature before printing.
3) Which firmware are you running, I assume it's the default as you are doing first test prints. (Good, don't upgrade until you get prints to work)
