Hi, I am using Cura. I don't know why when I try to print the Extruder stops moving at the beginning of the first layer. It works prior to that as the print head moves down and then stops. I believe Cura is set correctly but I appear to be missing something but do not know what.

Can you post your before print gcode that you've got, and what version of marlin are you running?

I am using Marlin, Cerambot Master with the Configuration h and Configuration_adv.h files from the group site. Is it the version of Marlin that is in conflict? What version have you been using?

That's the problem, the Cerambot master from their site is an old version of Marlin, and the config files (there are two of them) one is for the latest version of marlin 1.1.x and the other is for Marlin 2.0.

There are instructions about which version to download from Marlinfw.org and how to update it to match your printer if you are using the stock controller board, or if you've upgraded it to a SKR v1.3 or MKS Gen L with TMC2208 drivers.

You can just use the marlin firmware here:

DO NOT use the firmware from cerambots site with these new config files.
1. The version on the site is older
2. There's no guarantee that the new config files will work with that older version of the firmware.

Please follow the instructions that were posted with those config files to make sure you get a good firmware installation.

Cerambot also modified files that aren't supposed to be changed in Marlin that they've posted on their site. The changes they made have been moved into the configuration_adv.h where they won't get lost when you upgrade Marlin.

I am having the same problem with my Cerambot Pro.

Were you able to diagnose and solve the problem?

Thank you,

Alex
