    Hi all,

    UPDATE: I took the SD card out of the Raspberry PI and now the prints work, is this expected?

    I have just finished the build and gone through all the calibration steps for the nozzles, I am now trying to do the filament length calibration or the 3DBenchy.gcode, however selecting either of these does nothing (with the filament length calibration I have first manually heated nozzle 1 to 210).

    I have also manually moved the nozzle 1 and can see it rotating.

    I have the Octoprint but have not configured it etc. But the Pi is plugged in.

    Any help please?

    Ray

    Go through the OctoPrint configuration and you should be able to print from the LCD. I had the same problem. Maybe the board gets hung up waiting for a response from the Pi or something when OctoPrint is not configured.

    Sorry I meant to reply back, I did as you suggested and as you say, it works fine with OctoPrint running.

    This is odd, I worked through the build doc sequentially and the benchy print worked, then I configured OctoPrint.

    I'm sure that a print direct from the front panel should work regardless of OctoPrint being installed or running as it is also an option.
