Error:Printer halted. kill() called!

7 comments

My X & Y motors have completely stopped working (Z is fine)

and I’m getting this error message:

 

Proforge>Tools>Home>Confirm

 

Error:Printer halted. kill() called!

 

anyone have an idea what’s going on?

Further to the Facebook post have you run a home command in pronterface to see what error comes up?

Hi Antony,

 

The Z works fine, but wen I home a red alarm pop up box appears with the same error code that previously came up on the printer touchscreen. And the only thing that comes up on pronterface is:

 

23:04:37.844 : N16 G28*36

23:04:49.066 : Error:Printer halted. kill() called!

I just want to check a couple of things on mine but it's early into a 24 hour print at the moment and due to daddytaxi I won't get chance until Saturday afternoon. Sorry but I appreciate that it's rustrating!

Frustrating. Doh. Fat fingers...

Check your X and Y endstops. Could be from failing to trigger them during homing, or them shorting out when triggered.

Hi Dataris. Yes good suggestion! I did actually think of this a few days ago so I did actually check. But I think I’ve actually found the issue with the 2 x TMC2100’s not working. I had a new TMC2208 that was a spare so tried it, and it worked! I’ve now ordered another to replace the TMC2100.

    Max heated bed temp

    I'm trying to raise to 130° (planning to print pom-c) but it goes up to 100° and then stops: (Error: Heating failed, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed - Printer halted. kill() called!) Has anyone tested the max temperature heated bed can reach? It's due to hardware limit?

    XYZ defunct

    Whilst trying to cure the lines in the print, it looks like I’ve turned the pots on the 2 TMC1200’s just ever so slightly too much clockwise (Too many volts). The display disappeared. I’ve since replaced the TMC1200’s and whilst the display works, there is still no movement on the XYZ axis’. I wish I had used a DVM to properly calibrate the volts instead of doing it by eyesight as the destructions suggested. As the XYZ doesn’t work, I’m lost to how to identify if it’s the main control board, display board, or something else. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Layer Shifting or missed steps on an axis

    I'm getting layer shifting on the y axis. Sometimes it will do ~100 layers just fine, other times every 3rd layer or so seems to miss steps and get offset from the ones underneath it. I've checked the pulley lead screws are tight and the belt is properly tensioned. Do I need to adjust the stepper driver? How much and which way? The motor for the carriage seems underpowered.
