File Incomplete Message
I get "File Incomplete" message with a Gcode file I have created using Simplfy3d. It is a large file 128Mb - by far the largest I have tried to print so far. As far as I can tell the file ends with all the normal end of file scripts. Any suggestions?
Machine Prusa i3 Mk2 latest firm installed 24/11/17.
Re: File Incomplete Message
I think this function is looking for "M84 ; disable motors".

I have this in my end script and dont get any warning.

Re: File Incomplete Message
Thanks for the input but in this case that isn't the answer as M84 ; disable motors exists as the last line in the gcode file.
I ran the print anyway and it completed OK but it was a bit of leap of faith for a 18 hour print.
I also created a gcode file from the same stl file using PrusaControl as the slicer. That didn't generate the same error but with an estimated 24 hour print time I didn't use it!
The only significant difference I could see in the last few line of either gcode file was a missing M107 ; turn off fan in the one that reported in complete. But other smaller files with that in do not generate the same error message.
Re: File Incomplete Message
I was rolling my own G-code filament loading script when I hit "File Incomplete" message. Found this post.
I think this function is looking for "M84 ; disable motors".
From what I see, firmware may want G-code to have good form which seems to be close-out of controllable feature. So, hot-end, bed, nozzle or part fan used, must be shut off in G-code before file terminates. Makes sense I guess. Though, I thought all G-code SD card "prints" will auto trigger firmware terminations of those controllable features. Anyway, if you terminate used feature, no more "File Incomplete". Good to go, thanks Gert.

Re: File Incomplete Message
It throws this error message if the file name contains special signs (like swedish å ä ö), but in this case it also refuse to print. It just skips back to the home screen after replying "yes" and does nothing.
Re: File Incomplete Message
I had a file in S3d that I used the "Seperated Connected Surfaces" command on. It separated my parts into part1 and part(2). I kept part(2) sliced it and received he print error. I had to end up exporting the part as a file part ascii and re slicing it and it printed. The character in the text is most likely the culprit.
Re: File Incomplete Message
I've had large files say this, i just ignore it... definitely a bug or just doesn't seek to the end of large files properly.

I can confirm that error with the latest firmware too.
(And Slic3r Prusa 1.38.6)
"Pömpelchen.gcode" doesn´t work either.

Re: File Incomplete Message
I just realized that my issue was with my filename. If you have unconventional characters in the filename then it can throw the incomplete file error. This also could be the case if you have filenames longer than 30 characters. In my case my filename was Part2^ErgoDrip. Removing the ^ symbol fixed my issue.
