I noticed how detailed and clear the rafts print on the MakerGear M2 V4 before the actual print and I actually need to print a raft, rather than a product about 6mm high. Is there any way I can do this?

I could just print a giant raft and halt the printing process but I need the .stl file to edit.

Thanks insta. When you say replacement, what exactly am I replacing and how did this happen? My printer looks like I just bought it today and I've never moved it. UPDATE I've been attempting to replace the thermistor but it is incredibly jammed in the extruder and the side screws won't budge either....

Bingo! Found the error! READ: Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart. (Temperature is reset. Set it after restarting) READ: Printer stopped due to errors.

Thank you Jules for all your help! You are awesome.

Thanks for the tip, am already filling out the Support form. In the meantime, I attempted to print from SD Card with .gcode file using the original M2 default software and immediately unplugged USB and first main layer printed and then halted about an hour into the print leaving me a frisbee again. ...

I've narrowed it down to that first layer error at this point. • MakerGear M2 24 V4 Hotend turns on with 0 errors and all fans work. • Simplify3D has no program errors throughout the process. • SD Card works flawlessly with no read problems and detects .gcode files when retrieving list and is format...

OK, it's not the SD Card nor the reader. Got it working as it was formatted as Mac OS Journaled and worked immediately with FAT MS-DOS. My only thing left I'm guessing is the .gcode file which I downloaded off of Thingiverse which was then customized with Customizer. (See attached). I'll try printin...

Will pop open cover now. In the meantime though, would that cause a print to fail when it's printing via USB?

As for safely ejecting, that's on Macs as well and I always do that before pulling out the card.

I'm getting SD card initialized failed turning the printer off and on and quitting and re-opening Simplify3d. The memory card is formatted as Mac OS Journal but should it be Case Sensitive or MS-DOS or FAT or does that matter at all? Tried another memory card and still get SD card initialized failed...

The nozzle always stops, in addition, I downloaded Simplify3D on another Mac, installed and activated it, made sure nothing else was running on the other Mac, ran a USB print, stopped about 6% into the print just completing about 60% of the planter/vase first layer base AKA I've been ripping frisbee...
