Print fails about the same place each time..

Post by TRAILtech »

I'm attempting to print a water bottle, the print stops around the same location roughly layer 298 of 1007. The extruder stops, everything just stops. No jam is occurring it's really strange.

Below is the code generated on the layer which is failing... I don't know much about G code, maybe you see something obvious?

17:16:05.667 : Printing layer 298 of 1007

It' probably the repetier bug.
You can try slicing with a slightly different layer height, and KissSlicer seems to be less likely to expose the bug.

I chnged my layer height to .21 from .2, and unplugged my LCD (Read this MIGHT have something to do with it...)

I'll let you know in the AM (Fingers crossed)

It worked! I'll never know if it was the LCD or the layer height thought... Might do a dry run to night with just the LCD disconnected.

Glad that you got it to work and since you changed two things you are correct about not knowing which one fixed it. Please let us know if you find out.
