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...
Re: Print finished Halfway in the print
How are you printing:
-From SD Card
-From print manager, if so which one
-Is you system on a UPS
-which slicer are you using
-which slicer profile are you using
Your object or one from thingivers, if so post the link
Re: Print finished Halfway in the print
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
Re: Print finished Halfway in the print
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.
Re: Print finished Halfway in the print
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
Thanks for all your responses I will try all your suggestions before I try to print it again. When I got the print I will report back
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)
