Glowforge centering and focusing is working fine. When I press print, I can hear it start up but then nothing happens

Hello! I have not used my laser in about 2 months but was trying to start again today. I go through my normal routine that has already worked but nothing is moving when I hit print. At first I though nothing was moving, but I watched it center and focus and then return to start just fine. I click print on the app, and the pressed the magic button and I hear it start up like normal. However, after that the noise from the fan keeps going as if it is cutting but nothing is moving and the cut does not happen.

Any suggestions?

How long does the machine fan keep running with no cut? Does the interface countdown? Do you get any error messages?

Try opening a different file and printing it on construction paper. Do you get the same result?

I would try and print the “gift of good measure” from your dashboard. Another question, has your exhaust been connected to the outside all this time? Our Glowforges are strictly indoor pets and get cranky if temps or humidity are not ideal, even if turned off, or moved about too roughly.
