printer keep printing the same object

Hello everyone
I tried to look for this online, but only thing i can find is "printer printing same page over and over again"
and solution is to clear the "spooler"
I am using flashforge creator pro dual
it kept printing same object over and over even after I put in new model
I closed simplify3d and open it up again, load up new model
in the simulation and the printing time
both looks like OK for the new model
BUT it still printing out the same old model
does anyone know the "spooler" or some kind of internal memory that I can clear out?
I am not sure if this is the software's internal memory or 3D printer's
or is this some kind of other problem?
please help

Re: printer keep printing the same object

I would find 2 very different STL files. Then load 1 of the files and click "Save Toolpaths to Disk". That should export an .x3g file to your hard drive. Then exit the preview and load the second STL file. Do the same thing and save the toolpaths, but using a different file name.

Then you can compare the 2 files that were exported and make sure they look different and have a different file size. If so, then the software is properly creating different x3g files. Now you just have to figure out why the printer isn't printing them correctly.

Make sure you don't have another instance of S3D open somehow with the other file open.
Also, are you print via USB or the SD card?

Re: printer keep printing the same object

I have the same problem. Try to print one file from SD card or just cancel print from printer not in S3D.
