First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] As far as I can tell everything is set up correctly. Everything is homed, bed alignment is fine. Temperature good. Extrusion is good. Connection is good. Firmware up to date, etc... As soon as I begin a print, the axes move around for a second, then stop, (same spot). No extrusion. The dialog indicates 64/300k lines printed. The print time goes up from 3 hours forever. It just hangs doing nothing. I have no clue where to even begin looking for an explanation. The GUI freezes up after I cancel it. The web interface keeps monitoring the temperature but that is all. Tried communicating over serial, no response. So I imagine the Duet is just hanging. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,452910#msg-452910 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:55:59 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462996#msg-462996 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462996#msg-462996 navyblueboss Printing Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:24:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462989#msg-462989 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462989#msg-462989 The power supply was set to 220V, here in US,its 110V. I realized this when I wasn't drawing a full 12V. So the problem was that I wasn't getting enough power, the extruder was just never getting quite hot enough, and the print job kept hanging as a result.

I wasted a great deal of time banging my head on my desk. All I had to do was flip a switch.]]> c0rtex Printing Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:03:37 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462984#msg-462984 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462984#msg-462984
Try also to set you extruder at 190, maby its only because it cant reach the temp.]]> navyblueboss Printing Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:51:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462752#msg-462752 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,462752#msg-462752 my printer in its early days hung for 5 minutes, untill it was the right temp, then started

if you set it at 200 and only gets to 195, you will never get the process started, try with a lower temp]]> pushthatbolder Printing Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:51:33 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,453120#msg-453120 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,453120#msg-453120

Perhaps you could post your g.code file and someone can test the slice and print job from our working printers.

What slicer are you using? it might be an unconfigged slicing program.

i use Slic3r and it is really easy, you just need to config properly according the specifications of your printer.

I'm just printing the orthogonal test piece. Should already be sliced right? Just load the g.code into the interface. See attached. I'm just at a bit of a loss here.

EDIT: Wait a minute, when I try to go for the slicer settings, I am getting an error, that Slic3r directory not found. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this.
EDIT: directory problems fixed but don't see any solution
EDIT: It couldn't have to do with temperature could it? I set it to 200, but it never quite gets there. Hits around 195 usually.]]> c0rtex Printing Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:55:13 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,452970#msg-452970 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,452970#msg-452970

Atleast you have tried communicating over cereal

Only at breakfeast time!]]> rhmorrison Printing Fri, 09 Jan 2015 07:24:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,452931#msg-452931 Re: First Print = Nothing [Ormerod 2] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,452910,452931#msg-452931
