Simplify3D User Forum

Hello,

I've a strange behavior with Simplify3D.
All work fine but for each print, printer stops after a while (general at 5th or 6th layer). And nothing append. I have to stop the process and move up the head with jog controls.
My config :
iMac 27"
Yosemite 10.10.2
Simplify3D : 2.2.2

Printer : G3D
RAMPS 1.4 with Marlin

Any ideas ?
Thank in advance

Best regards,

run a print with the machine control panel (tools > machine control panel) open and with the communication tab selected. when the print stops watch the communication and see waht your printer is telling you. It could possibly be a thermistor issue, serial communication issue, etc.

Hello,

After many tests (only one print go up the end), when printer stops, I have the following message in "communication box" :

After I have to stop the job.

Any ideas should be welcome

this is telling you s3d sent the command "G1 X61.358 Y73.043 E28.3257", but the printer never confirms it received the command. Whenever the printer receives a command it will send a serial message back to the host (your computer) "ok". this is how s3d knows the printer has successfully received and understood the command. because the printer did not send back "ok" s3d is telling you something is probably going wrong. try using a different usb cable and making sure there is not much electromagnetic interference going on. Some cables provide poor emi shielding and noise from emi can cause data transmission issues.

Hello,

In first, I've changed my USB cord and after 3 long prints, it seems to be good
Thank you very much.

Have a nice week.
