pausing instead of z hop

Post by Cat of Many Faces » Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:59 am

Just got my A10 last week and it has a strange issue. when it should do a z hop the printer just pauses for a several seconds and makes a deep kinda thumping/thrumming sound before eventually resuming.

I'm running the standard 1.1.8 firmware. i tried changing to the most recent build of 2.0 but instead of pausing it just locks up and becomes unresponsive until restart so i reverted back to 1.1.8

i recorded a rather clumsy video, https://youtu.be/5AfZkt2pA8E but the noise seems to not have made it onto the recording.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

(apart from the video quality :P )

Hi, Does this happen when you print all the models?

Yes, it happens no matter the model being printed, just whether or not it has z hop enabled when sliced.

I tried the exact same model sliced without z hop and it had no problems printing.

I'm using Cura 4.1 for my slicer

Creo que el otro día leí que el cura 4.1 tiene un fallo en el zhop podrias provar otra versión a ver que tal
