Printrbot Play crashes into frame after printing

[Anonymous]

My Printrbot play prints perfectly in print studio.

However, the printer head rises after the print is complete.

It continues to rise until it crashes into the frame and will not stop.

How do I get the the printer to stop raising indefinitely after the print stops.

Hi @Anonymous

I don't see how the trouble you are having with your printer has anything to do with Fusion360.

Have you downloaded the latest firmware for your printer?

Maybe a problem with your slicer program?

Are you using Cura or some other slicer program?

You are correct. My problem is with print studio not fusion 360.
My fusion 360 project prints fine using Cura but not with print studio.
It is a Print studio software issue and not a printer problem.

I think your asking for help in the wrong place as this is a community for help with Fusion 360.

First: Verify your endstops are working correctly.

Second: Inspect the gcode created by Cura and by Print Studio, specifically, the end gcode.

You should see something like this in each one:

G1 E0.04866 F1200.00000 ; This is the last line that is printed.  Everything after this is the shutdown code.
G92 E0
G1 Z12.350 F9000.000
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off bed
G28 X0  ; home X axis
M84     ; disable motors

Note: The above is from Slic3r, but all of the slicers should generate very similar shutdown code.

Note 2: Delta's ignore the axis code in the G28 command.  It should show Z0 for cartesian printers.

If there is a difference between the Cura and Print Studio output, then analyze each line of gCode to see what it is expected to do.  If the gCode looks correct then you have either a hardware or firmware issue.

p.s. Print Studio doesn't have a dedicated forum, so the few people that are able to use it use the Fusion 360 forum.
