S3D Unable to Connect and on Reboot Cycle

Suddenly I'v not been able to connect to my Printer via S3D. I get some strange corruption look alike code with a connection failed error on the Communication window. I've started from scratch with new Firmware a few times with no luck. I noticed that the Printer screen/LCD reboots right after the Error message pops up on S3D.

Thoughts?

Are you using an SD card? We have found that sometimes the sd card can cause a boot loop when starting up. It goes away when the SD card is removed and formatted. If you are only printing via USB, try starting the printer up without the USB cable plugged in.

I’m not using an SD Card however, when I do use an SD card it prints ok. Still haven’t been able to connect via USB with Cura or S3D. Hmm so strange. I’ve rebooted my Mac, also tried an other computer with same results. When the Printer is connected to the computer it seems to only get I to a Boot loop when S3D is launched and it tries to communicate.

Do you have another USB cord that you can use? If you do, I would reinstall with the new cord and then connect with s3d. If that still doesnt work, the arduino may need to be replaced.

I did. It installs without problems. The crazy thing is that the loop only starts happening when I startup S3D. Cura still can’t connect. Tried an old Printrbot for troubleshooting and I can connect normally.

Also, are you using any type of network connected printer controller like octoprint? And, do you still have the SD card inserted when trying to connect through USB?

I’ve actually tried 250000 and a few others. Sometimes I get that Alien looking text as shown on the screenshot.

I do not have any network controllers. Just my Mac straight to the Printer.

I managed to get the printer running but it jumps back boot loop right before it starts printing. Got the same results several times so I guess I may have a bad board. How do I go about replacing it? – Thanks!

Hi there Joshua.. So I've connected the new Arduino.. and I'm getting the same boot loop when I click on Connect To Printer from S3D. I got it to connect once randomly after a bunch of tries. Also tried an other computer (MacBook Pro) with new USB cable with same results. Basically, as the printer sits uninterrupted, the LCD seems fine. But the soonest I open S3d and click on Connect - It Reboots the printer.... Thoughts?

Looks like I connected now, let's see if it keeps happening...
