Extruder turns off on second layer

Hi All,

Relatively new user that has gotten good prints before.
I'm having a strange problem now though. My extruder is set for 200c on level 1. Watching the temperature graph, it remains steady on the first layer but when it goes to the 2nd layer, the extruder turns off and begins dropping. Manually restarting the extruder from the control panel doesn't work. I've tried just one temp controller on layer 1, two control points layer 1 and 2, and layer 1 and 500. Nothing seems to work. I tried to look at Gcode to see what the problem is but I can't seem to figure out how to see the raw GCode. Any ideas?

Thanks. It may be related but I don't think so. I don't have an HB attached or configured for this machine and only one tool head at t0

Any other ideas? Any way to see the gcode generated?

If you've gotten good prints before and you use a printer that's on the list for the configuration assistant. I'd recommend just using Reset All Settings, that'll revert any settings that may be causing the temperature to turn off to go back to their defaults where you say you've gotten good prints.
