MK3 Not Reponding

Greetings,

Up until today I haven't had any issues with Pronterface or any other programs connecting and then executing the .gcode. Today i tried to print and I am getting no response from the MK3. It connects and I am able to reset via the software but it doesn't execute a single command i.e Home -x-y axis or anything. I tried factory reset of the printer and a complete uninstall of the software and then reinstalled. It seems to be having the same issue with Cura and Simplify 3D.

Any suggestions would be helpful. As it stands, i am dead in the water until i can get a usb SD card reader to put the files on it and try to print. Side note when i 'Print From SD Card' with any of the preloaded files it works.

Thanks for your help.

Re: MK3 Not Reponding

It sounds like you've narrowed it down to the USB interface and drivers. Fixing that is likely to be very OS-specific. Can you provide more detail on what OS you're running Pronterface under?

Check to see if you've accidentally enabled RPi.

An hour with support (drivers, cables etc) got me nowhere. I tried to lower the z-axis through the menu, and voila! RPi Port enabled. Turned it off, and good to go.
