2nd Print with PLA takeoff from the plate
Hi All
I am a new joiner on a 3D printing with a second hand i3 MK3S.
Once back home and installed the printer, I launch a 3D printing job , the xyz cube test which was successful.
This morning I sent the bottom.stl file from link, to Prusa slicer and exported the G-code, then uploaded to octoprint and started the printing process.
Few minutes later, I saw the PLA starting to take off . I decided to stop the printing process and cancelled it too.
The head (extruder ?) as shown on the first picture is now stuck in the center.
The second picture show the slicer print screen.
I thought that cancelling the current job will reset the extruder to its initial position, but unfortunately not.
I have a look at the options on octoprint , and I do not see easy way to do it.
So can you please tell me how to do to enable the extruder to move back to the initial position ?
What could be the issue ?
Best

try the autohome option on the LCD Menu

As @joantabb suggests - or disable the stepper motors - also LCD menu - and reposition by hand.
Your initial problem was probably caused by a dirty print sheet; look up threads about cleaning on here, it's one of the fundamental skills of 3D printing.
Cheerio.

Hi
Many thanks for your answers.
I looked at the menu, and I do not find an autohome option on the LCD menu of the printer
Can you please advise ?
I read some posts where it was effectively mentioned to clean the print sheet.

I finally moved the extruder on the x axis , removed the plate to cleaned it, and finally printed another thing with no problems
That's said I did not find the autohome

Auto Home, is on the Calibration Menu
