I just recently did a firmware update and now the printing stops only after a few layers. it starts as normal then after a few minutes I get “initializing printer” on the screen then it resets and I get Error code 41. I understand I may need to reseat the galvanometer cables? Any ideas how to do this?
If your problem starts after a firmware update try rolling the firmware back to see if it fixes the issue first.
If it fixes the issue try updating the firmware manually (I don’t allow any automatic updates).
Start a support ticket regardless because it helps Formlabs document issues and the actual solution.
So I got in touch with support and they sent me a PDF on how to re-seat the galvanometer cables. Very simple procedure to do, took me about 20 mins. It involves removing 6 screws and disconnecting the cable for the control screen. Then disconnecting and reconnecting the galvanometer cables. Its all back together again and running a print and so far (fingers crossed) its working. I have to admit I didn’t think it would but happy, happy.

Is there any chance you could send that PDF along? I’m on a deadline to print and keep receiving this error…

@mdesign, I realize that you just had your printer serviced, but again Formlabs support will be the best place to get info on error 41. If you haven’t done so already, you can create the support ticket here.
