print wont start - vorlon99 - 02-18-2024
so i printed a ship last night, but for whatever reason the back of it failed. cura said it was ok. i reloaded the model and moved it a bit and plugged it in. the screen showed it red and no image?? when i pressed print it would not start. so i altered the model again, same result. tried an couple more times till eventually the screen showed white, however it still shows no preview and the print wont start, says its at 1% but the plate does not go down. i though it might be the usb stick so i reformatted it. same result. i am scratching my head now.( just tried a different usb and now it shows red again and wont print) also releveled it so it s not that
fixed it. was using wrong slicer! like a fool. i had also be printing on my fdm and not bothered to look closely
