GCode files not heating extruder

AstroBox
#1

Hi All,

I’ve been trying to print from a few GCode files, all sliced in Cura desktop, but having no success. After upload when I tell AstroBoc to print file, the extruder will not heat up. The bed heats fine, but the extruder doesnt move. Code below. Any suggestions?

What is your printer? I don’t see anything wrong with the GCODE. Perhaps the problem is in the communication? you might want to try enabling serial logs from advanced settings in the astrobox and see if you can see some comms problem. Here are some pointers on that:

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m running a CR10s4.

I was writing the gcode via Cura, and didnt know that the extruder wont heat until the bed completes heating. That answers the initial question. However, after the bed had heated all the way and heating the extruder began, the AstroBox lost USB connection to the printer. I replicated this error several times, but havent found a permanent solution to the issue. My workaround was to preheat the extruder and bed via the onboard printer controls, then send the gcode file via the AstroBox.

If you have any suggestions for the lost connection they would be appreciated.

We would need to take a look at the serial logs. In the previous post there are instructions on how to get to them
