Problem starting a print

I am receiving an "Error:to retract when heating [mm]" when I start print after the extruder and the bed warms and the extruder moves into position to start to print. No filament is extruded before the error is received.

This problem does not occur when running in Cura 14.06. I can manually extrude filament using the manual control. My printer is a ANet A8 with the factory extruder. Thank-you in advance.

  • Found the problem. It has to do with the M117 command. Here is what Repetier recommended:
    "Here it seems the M117 command confuses the firmware. I guess it is the same in case 1 also we do not see it but line 37 seems also a M117 command.

    So my guess is your firmware can not handle M117 with line number and checksum.

    Only solution is in printer settings to deselect "Send ETA to printer display". This disables sending the M117 command coming from host it self. Of course your gcode should also not contain them."

    Hope it helps someone else!
