Flashforge Creator Pro not beginning print
August 03, 2017 05:50PM
Something is wrong with my printer. I select a file to print from my SD card, my extruder and bed come up to temperature like normal. The printer beeps just as if it's going to begin printing, but then nothing happens. Everything just sits there not moving.

I have tried a different SD card with no change. Printing over USB shows the same issue. I have already tried resetting settings to factory. The printer is running Sailfish.

I'm completely lost. The printer was working just fine earlier this morning.

Please give us some information, so we can help you.
  • What slicer do you use?
  • If your slicer allows it: What is your start and end-gcode?
  • What extruder temperature do you use?
  • What heated bed temperature do you use?
  • What material do you use?

Not at the printer right now so I can't answer most of those questions. However I have found out that my issue is faulty or bugged firmware. Entering the on screen printer menu for extruder calibration was somehow changing my tool head x offset from 33mm to an arbitrary value of around 3,100mm!

I changed it back to the default setting and now the printer is just like new. I still am not sure if this is an issue with the flashforge version of Sailfish or user error with my install.
