Printer not moving after starting a job, but gcode is running in console

seacuello · August 2017

Hi!

Just an amateur printer trying to hook up repetier server to free up my laptop from dedicated printing sessions.. i used repetier host in the past and also played with octoprint..

I can control my printer manually, but when I start a job the printer just sits there. In the console if i turn on commands and ack i can see the following gcode running:

13:28:51.624: ok (2)

13:28:51.624: N1167 G1 Z30.000 F120

13:28:51.624: N1168 G92 E0.0000

13:28:51.624: N1169 G1 F120

13:28:51.632: ok (3)

Is something wrong with the communication of the server to the printer??

Thanks for any and all help in advance!

This code in the console seems to be repeating or hinting at what the communication error may be.. just cant decipher the lines myself --

that is strange - why should server need 340 byte to send a command. No firmware has such a big buffer and no gcode should need it. Only comments could be that long but do not get send. Any idea what command it want's to send here?
