Printer Stops after a while in middle of a Job

[Frank Hagenbuch @stiff74 My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

The printer will stop printing and no longer running.
In the middle of a job.

I can not say why, seems to lie at the softwar absolute. There is no error message, the printer will flash only .

After 3 defects in the printer is now the 4th problem. I really do not know anymore .

@stiff74 Please let us know what operating system your computer is running, what material you are using, and anything else you can share that may give us additional information to troubleshoot your problem.

Is the printer hooked up to the computer when this happens?

Does the computer go into sleep or suspend mode when this happens?

If you disconnect the USB cable from the computer to the printer does the same problem occur?

Does the pause button change to a play button?

Does the light flash red or green when this happens?

Is there a grinding sound or a clicking sound?

Does the temperature of the nozzle or the bed change?

The answers will help us figure out the issue and give you better advice.

Double check to see if the entire file gets sent to the printer, i.e. sit and watch the progress bar reach 100%. I’ve had prints stop midway when using subpar USB cables - the print data was not sent to the printer in its entirety.

Ok, i will check, atm it is by 82 %, is it better tu unlug the USB after snt the complete Files?

@stiff74

I get this happen very occasionally - the resolution for me is simply to close Auto Maker on your PC, wait a minute and restart it.

When AM re-opens it will pick re-detect the printer and in the top right of the screen should be the play button to resume the print.

Do remember to reach into the printer with a scalpel and cut the “string” of material from the object back to the nozzle, beofre resuming the print.

 

I put this down for my case as being related to the fact my Robox will not be recognised via AM when plugged directly into my desktop PC.

The only way AM detects my printer is when it connected via an unpowered USB hub (I plug nothing else into the hub except my Robox)

 

Hope this helps.

So far there are no indications that Robox will ever be supported in Simplify3D.
