Unresolved Printer doesnt move but says its Printing

what software? Is your Z offset set to 1mm or thereabouts?
Some slicers need a z offset.

 

I'm using mattercontrol z offset is at zero.

 

problem solved
make it 1mm

you can fine tune it.. but it needs an offset. mine's always .9-1.2 .. when I was using that software

 

Now its pouring filament in the air.

 

hmmmm at 1mm?

lemme open that and look at the settings

 

yup. settings-general-printer-z offset 1.0mm

 

ok... I once had to completely delete all the settings on my computer because the slicer was screwed up. One of the symptoms was it failing to print and sometimes even slice, with different infills. CHange the height or infill and it would work.
Re-installing didn't help. had to find the users/appdata located file.


Have you tried a different slicer?

 

Reduce your offset then. 1.0mm isn't a steadfast number. Some poeple use 0.7 or less, some people use 1.2 or more. Experiment till you find it.

 

yea... if you're using that.. crazy things happen. and yes.. 1mm is the "stock" number, that you could probably print .3 at without any adjustment.

 

I've been using matter slicer ill switch to slic3r and run a test really quick

 

the 9 point none of them touch the bed when it runs then it pours filament in the air the eventually grinds the filament and have to take it out and cut of bad filament.

 

Send M119 in terminal with the nozzle in the air and report the response codes

 

anyone has a picture of a good first layer?

Right now i've got wagon wheels so ill play with z offset height and report back if i have any more problems. thank all of you for your help!

 

Well i had one successful print and now its back to spitting in the air.

 

i have automatic bed leveling disabled but it keeps doing it?

 

is the nozzle touching the bed? did you level the axis?

 

i did the 3 point and then the 9 point and it spits in air.
