Topic: Soliprint wont start printing

Hello

My Press doesnt start printing in Soliprint (v.1.00 and v.1.10). Nothing happens. I have tried Repetier host, and it starts printing, but the result is very poor. The ABS is just curling, and wont stick to the  bed. I have tried acetone, and change the temperature.

Should I try to reset it, or will it not make any difference?

You just cleaned the bed with acetone?  Or did you make an acetone+abs slurry?

ABS doesn't stick to the glass bed very well, people use all sorts of tricks to get better adhesion with the bed. 

These tricks include:

  • hairspray

  • blue painter's tape

  • gluestick

  • diluted elmer's glue slurry

  • Kapton tape

  • acetone+abs slurry

  • replacing the glass with a sheet of PEI.

I have the same problem soliprint 1.0 1.1 not working

What language do you have on your windows?
Got a little tip on a norwegian forum about software that dont work on norwegian windows.
After work today i will do a new clean install of windows 8.1 with all settings on US language.
It sounds weird, but i feel it's worth a try.

Cheers Skippy. I will try that.

Hotony, I can only calibrate with Soliprint V.1.0, but it wont start printing. In v. 1.10 I cant calibrate or print.
It will only start printing with repetier host, and as said, with a poor result.

Re: Soliprint wont start printing

Yes im on the same boat as you, i haven't been able to calibrate, so i've been manually setting up the z-axis. Trial and error now and finally found the right one.

Doesnt seems like Soliprint gets the G-code when I press print? Nothing happens, eventhough it heated. But cant print in repetier host, but still struckling to get a better result.

I wrote this in the sticky thread:

Issue: Nothing happens when you press print on Soliprint.
Cause: Bad programming?
Fix: Go to Control panel, clock language and region. Change all settings to United States.
This concerns people with windows on a different language than US. Atleast it looks that way to me.
I do not know if the same problem is on Mac, since i do not have a Mac.

So, looks like poor programming from Solidoodle.
This has worked for me, and the others that has seen my post on their facebook page i believe.

I can confirm that OSX is affected by the same issue, switching to US english fix it.

Re: Soliprint wont start printing

I have tried to calibrate so many times now. Also reset the settings, but even my calibration is a poor result. Im complety new with a 3D printer, so dont know what to do anymore.

I have recorded my last calibration. Is it my extruder I need to calibrate or what should I try?
At 4.55 I got a okay result, and tried to print in Soliprint- The first layer was okay, but the it failed again. In repetier host it keeps printing in the air, eventhough I have used a G-code settings that z-offset before.

I have tried to get the abs to stick better with acetone and hairspray.
