Could you pls check the logs and see what’s going on this morning? From about 9:30 - 11:30 Arizona time. I’ve had 3 Print Stopped error messages and have had to reboot each time. It also has taken much longer than usual to calibrate, scan and prepare for print. thx!
P.S. It also has indicated a status of Offline twice when it was on and seemingly ready to print. I’m up to 5 reboots in the last 4 hours.
Thanks for letting us know about this. I extracted the logs from your Glowforge to investigate, and it looks like your Glowforge connected successfully to your Wi-Fi network, but is having trouble maintaining a stable connection. A couple of prints failed prior to your report because the attempt to download information from our servers timed out. Connectivity issues can also lead to longer-than-usual calibration times, because of the information being uploaded and downloaded during this process.
You won’t need to go through Wi-Fi setup again, but it should help to perform some troubleshooting of your Wi-Fi network. The most common solution to Wi-Fi challenges is to restart all the devices involved in connecting to the internet.
Turn off the computer, phone, or tablet that you’re using
Turn off your Glowforge
Unplug your modem
Unplug your Wi-Fi access point
Wait one minute, then plug everything back in and turn them back on
If that doesn’t work, we have two more suggestions that often make a big difference:
Improve the signal path between your Glowforge and your Wi-Fi access point
Wi-Fi signals need a clear path. Remove physical barriers, and move devices closer together:
Move your Wi-Fi access point up high and make sure it’s in an open space. Avoid locating your Wi-Fi access point on the ground, under a desk, in a cabinet, or in a corner where its signal can be blocked.
Relocate your Wi-Fi access point closer to your Glowforge
Move your Glowforge closer to your Wi-Fi access point
Install a Wi-Fi range extender closer to your Glowforge
Run an ethernet cable and install a second Wi-Fi access point next to your Glowforge
Reduce electronic and Wi-Fi interference
If your unit is near other devices that use Wi-Fi or a large number of electronics, temporarily turn off other electronics and devices in the area.
I hope this helps! If you run into any other trouble please start a new thread or email us at support@glowforge.com.
