Trying to set up the printer for the first time in years. New laptop & am trying to print a test file using the updated XYZ platform.

The printer works as it successfully printed the test vase & the xyz software appears to connect fine with the printer. Problem is that the print button is greyed out.

Using a Windows 10 machine.http://soliforum.com/i/?siyhsmF.jpg

You may have thermal runs away during printing but manual heating maybe ok if the hotend is not moving.

I have reached out to XYZ to see if they can assist in identifying and replacement of said wire.  Is this the "harness" that many have complained about??  Any ideas?

Thanks for your lead and help.

i am printing a known good file from repetier host v2.1.6 sliced with cura via usb cable.

I think what I  will try is printing a file from the memory card just to eliminate external software altogether..

I inherited a davinci 1.0  that is not working right. It had been updated to repetier xx but I reflashed it just in case it was a bad load.  It is now on 0.92.10 - 1.17-08-01_1.1 

it seems that all of the components are working fine - just not together.  It appears to have all original equipment

I can send a job and it will go thru the motions of "printing" but the extruder does not get hot so will not deposit any filament.

when I heat up the extruder manually it works fine - it is not clogged as I have taken apart the head to verify that.

My thoughts is that it has to be one of 3 things but would love some thoughts on it.
1 - bad extruder $100
2. bad main board $
3. bad harness? $50

your input would be appreciated  - i really dont want to spend much on it since I can get another newer machine for about $200 and will sell the davinci if it is over $50 or so.

Exactly how are you sending a job to it? What software? Do you have the software configured correctly? Can you send M commands from the host and control the heaters?
