Well it looks like that new firmware version fixed it.  Here is my first completely printed part!

Thank you all for your help!

It has been printing for 8 minutes now.  The print has about 30 minutes left, but that is at least a few minutes longer than it has printed thus far.

This one.

I think you are running into a problem with the filament alarm section that is in the M600 version.

I did put an E3D on it and changed the firmware successfully - posted on page 2 I think - please feel free to look at it closely.

Also (and forgive me if we've covered this) have you done anything on the heater side of things?
What version of firmware are you using?  E3d?

Any suggestions?

In two weeks I have not solved anything.

Temperature curve attached.

Anyone?

first print in progress.  Keep your fingers crossed.

You have got to be kidding me.

But I am so close to getting it right...

I am sure that a lot of people here are more qualified than me to answer this, but maybe try following the steps I went through on the heater: checking voltage on the pins coming out from the board and checking the resistance of the heater itself.

My heat wasn't dropping off like this until I tried to flash the updated firmware. Previously I had a steps/mm issue that I solved, then when I tried to update (which didn't take) my heat started dropping out like this. I'm about ready to give this machine a viking funeral.
