check first time prints in netfab before slicing then page through Gcode b4 printing I have found lots of odd things either added or removed that way instead of descovering it while trying to print and seeing strange results lol

I have been just tried to do one to many pint in the center of the bed without freshening up the surface.

Well the print completed but a rough finish guess i need to figure out the cura settings seems like slic3r has a lot more control . but it just will not complete the slicing on this file. I tried the older software still no joy.
the happy Halloween headless dog. Oh well only plastic.
it is demonstrator to show the infill yea that's it!!! I stopped the print on purpose in the same spot twice !!
If this was easy everyone would be doing it. Easy stuff 5 year old can do this with 10 years experience . but home level 3 d printers have only been available for 3 years!! anyway life goes on.

Use glass and aquanet man. No need to fight adhesion trouble. Haven't had a print pop off since. Rip up the kapton too so you can get the glass off easily without knocking the bed out of level.

well did as you said and it shows the poodle without a head. Looks like slicer did not complete the task. tried reslicing in cura looks better now trying to print been a bad day for printing one failure after another.
Had a print pop off the bed anther the print shiftedon another one probably my fault. .......

Thanks again

On the Gcode tab in RH , click on "show complete code" and see if it shows the complete object.

I have been at his about 10 weeks or so. Have done a lot of reading and some experimenting I have loaded the newer versions of RH and Slic3r Possibly the cause of my problem(s). I have had pretty good results so far and made a fair amount of good prints as well as some ugly ones. I have figured out the source of some problems
1) Rh has seemed reluctant to connect, last night no problem.
2) I fixed the isue of parking after the print.
the real and current question a I attempted to print a solidoodle poodle and it comes out headless. a second attempt did the same thing .
I have had prints quit before but not repeatedly in the same place in the print.
I checked the printer settings in rh and slicer and the print envelope setting look right.
The dog is only about 80mm high and the print stops at 60mm.
I am using a SD4 so plenty of room for this print.
Ideas?
