Hey all, I wonder if anyone else has this problem (and hopefully a solution
): when I try to pause and then resume a print on my TAZ 5, whether from the LCD interface or via Cura/USB connection, it starts moving again (x, y, and z axes) but NEVER extruding! I’ve tried this several times with different prints, and it always fails, so I end up reprinting the whole thing. I don’t think the nozzle is immediately getting clogged, because I move the print head away from the model, replace/re-insert the filament, and successfully extrude a decent amount before resuming. Whaaaat is going on. Can’t seem to find anyone else discussing this (maybe my search skills suck).
I don’t know if this is related, but I’ve also had a few prints just… freeze midway through—i.e. the head stops moving, extruder stops extruding (well, that’s lucky), but both the hotend and bed stay at temp, and the LCD says it’s still printing. Head scratcher, that. This has only happened printing from the SD card; however, I don’t typically print from a computer anymore, since I need to drag my laptop to work… and that’s prime printin’ time. So I can’t definitively say it wouldn’t do the same.
Edit: not sure if this is relevant, but for the second issue (stopping mid-print), even after I “Stop Print”, it still says “Printing…”.
S.O.S. Please send help!
