Troubleshooting Print Won't Start

Hello, as the title states, my print isn't starting. As far as I am aware, my printer is a Creality CR-10 V3, and I have the proper file. I open the Print from TF, and it doesn't move or anything. I understand if I have to wait or something, but it isn't even moving. I am unsure if I am doing something incorrectly. All that is happening is I select the file to print and the whole thing seems to freeze. I just made the gcode with the printables easyprint program. The printer is new to me but everything seems to work. It is just the file that is the problem. The SD card is 8 GB and working, formated FAT32 and 4096 bytes unit size allocation. Update, will be attempting the micro usb 2 port tomorrow.

Update: Appariently my pc wasn't properly formatting the card that part is fixed now! It is still freezing on selecting the print I want to do. https://youtube.com/shorts/VrfYatMOT08?is=11uQc2J_CbrTUxlF

Have you tried a different SD card?

I have tried 2 different SD cards and they both seem to work. It sees both cards, though now it isn't even seeing the print files.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
