Print finished Halfway in the print

I am was printing this Item that is 14 hours long a few hours before it finished it stopped.

It looks like it finished. the print head moved away to the print and it cooled down. It really looks like it finished. I even looked at the Gcode to see if it's all there but it seems like it is...

Has anyone had this problem happen? I have been printing many items similar to this but they have all finished...

-From print manager, if so which one
-Is you system on a UPS
-which slicer are you using

I am printing from SD card.
The Printer is on a UPS I was present for the finish print so I saw it happen
Using simplify3d

Item from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:49168
the part that was printing is "r2L503AI 121222b.stl"

Checked the GCode in the SD card after it failed with simplify3d and it shows the whole thing

It happened to me once when I used Slic3r and exported the Gcode directly to the SD card. Now I export to the hard drive and copy to the SD card and make sure the file size is the same. Not sure if this was your problem or not.

I want to say it happen to me on a model I got from thingiverse. I think it was a problem with the the gcode produced by the slicer. If I recall it was one of those thingiverse objects that had a '0' under 'I made one'. I have never had it happen with my custom objects.

Hi !

- check if the model is without error ! Otherwise repair it with the online tool from netfabb.
- check if the gcode is completely exported from the slic3r !!! This happes very often. (open gcode with an editor (notepad) and check if the last lines starting with ";" )
- check if the gcode is completely written on the SDcard. Check with editor (see on line before), open it directly from the SDcard

Re: Print finished Halfway in the print

The next slic3r release will export the g-code file under a temp name first and then rename it to the final name once the file is stored in its entirety. This will avoid most of the incomplete g-code file issues.

Re: Print finished Halfway in the print

Great !

Another good option, to pop up an messagebox if the file is comletely exported.

Edit :
Maybe the message box can printout this : filament used = 726.1mm (1.7cm3) (foe example)
