PowerSpec 3D Pro: Dual Extruder no start after preheat

Using dual extruder settings: After preheating, printing doesn't start. Anyone else have the same issue?

Are you sure the temperature successfully stabilized? The print won't start until that happens. What temperatures were the extruders and bed set at?

It might also be helpful if you included a factory file and pasted the communication log from the machine control panel.

i'll try and get a log file later today.

both extruders are set to roughly 225-230 and bed is set to 0. i can see the status bar is loaded all the way and the temp monitoring on the control panel show that they are heated to the correct range. this has really put a halt on all my projects and i really dont know what to do now. it might just be a simple fix but, i dont see it.

^ that's your problem. If you set the bed to 0C and then also tell the printer to stabilize the bed at that temperature, there is a known bug with the firmware on those machines that will cause the build to stall since it obviously can never reach 0C. So either pick a temperature like 30C that you know you can reach, or edit out the line in your starting script that says "M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature"
