Can anyone help me?
I’m new to 3d printing (i got my first printer 3-4 weeks ago) and i encountered a problem that my printer isn’t showing any print data and just showing “0” for everything. Once i actually start printing it does not extrude properly (not really sticks either) and this only happened to the new files i put in my sd card.
Have you tried a different SD card to see if that shows the files?
Filament not sticking could be a few things. Make sure the build plate is clean, use washing up liquid/water, like doing the dishes, this will get rid of most of the dirt, dry it off thoroughly then give it a wipe with isopropyl alcohol, this will be as clean as you can make it. Avoid touching the build plate with your fingers, finger grease can stop adhesion, good practice is a wipe down with isopropyl before a print. If it still doesn’t stick then you will probably have to adjust the z-offset a little, I have to adjust mine down by 0.05mm for a good first layer.
Will try now!
Every other print is working except for the new files i added
Short filenames with no special characters?
Yep, one of the files is just 3 letters
I think its working now because its printing fine so far (i started a print) but it still shows the “0” for every thing so i think its a software glitch
Never mind, i don’t think its extruding properly because it broke
What slicer are you using? I had the same problem when I switched form Cura to Orca Slicer. The printing is fine, but the initial display showed all zeros for Estimated time, Filament used and Layer height. I found out that the Marlin firmware expects these values as comment tags at the beginning of the G-Code file, and Cura and Creality Print both supply those, whereas Orca doesn’t.
Solution is to create a Post Processing Script in a language of your choice to add the custom comment tags.
