FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!
I have a Kossel Mini and on version 2.2.2 things were fine. Upgrade to 3 and UGH!
Extruder works fine. Heats up properly the do not extrude temperature for PLA is set at 170 in the firmware. I can use the Machine control panel and extrude test extrusions at my prefered temps. But when I print nothing no movement on the stepper nothing the extruder stepper just sits still.
Where do I start diagnosing this?

Post up a factory file and a gcode file you're trying to send to the printer. Also before printing starts, have the MCP open and keep an eye on the communication tab to see if your printer is trying to tell you anything

Attached is the gcode.

Ah and the factory file found it poking around the interface. Is there a way to attach multiple files to a post in this forum?

Why don't you post the communication log from the machine control panel?

That's a very long log file with quite a few actions like hitting the E-stop and maybe attempting to start a print? hard to tell with so much there. Generally, it's really only about 10 or so lines that you actually care about. In your case I'm guessing they would be the ones that come right after you try to begin the print.
I'm not sure how you were trying to start the print, but towards the bottom of the log, I saw a pretty clear error message from the firmware saying "SD Init Failed". This means that the SD card failed to initialize, so if you were using that for the print, it obviously isn't going to start.

I am not very well going to let a 1 hour print go and burn out my hot end to get the file. Of course I hit the estop after the first layer. I thought that would capture enough data for those that know how to read g code and stop it.

I was using the USB cable not the SD card so that is not the problem.
