Printer Freezes-no clue why?  

Re: Printer Freezes-no clue why?

what did you print ? a model that came with the printer ? or something that you've sliced with slic3r ?

once i had the same, but it was related to the fact that i sliced my object with slicer (one of the previous releases) and copied the *.gcode to the sdcard while slic3r itself was not ready with slicing.

so the *.gcode was incomplete and ended in the middle of the print.... with the same effect that you've described.

Re: Printer Freezes-no clue why?

interesting....it was my own part and slice.

I'll re-slice and try again but I didn't think I could output Gcode without the slicer finishing.

...I'll re-slice and try again but I didn't think I could output Gcode without the slicer finishing.

- in fact this was possible with previous slic3r versions... and caused a few problems (like the ones you describes) -

you can simply look inside the failed *.gcode file (it's a text file) with an editor.
is there a proper "end script", similar to this: M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
M107 ; turn off fan
G1 X0 Y200; home X axis
M84 ; disable motors

or does it end with something like this: ...G1 X138.516 Y111.946 E0.0053
G1 X138.316 Y111.946 F349...
❓ ❓

Re: Printer Freezes-no clue why?

You can load and preview g-code in CraftWare or Simplify3D (even if it was produced by a different slicer).

Re: Printer Freezes-no clue why?

I haven't tried it, but there's also a g-code viewer and analyzer at http://gcode.ws/ which looks interesting.

Re: Printer Freezes-no clue why?

gcode.ws is my goto page to preview gcode files, especially considering it works locally in your browser without uploading anything, so you can even use it on a laptop that's not connected to the internet.

I unfortunately over-wrote the Gcode, but these are get tips if this happens again. thanks
