Hello World,

I was in a hurry so I did not have [an hour to wait for the temp to reach 35C](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/maintaining-heat-to-35c/10844) so I used the “Start Anyway” button and now its printing but has been in “Print will start shortly” mode for more than an hour and I can’t see how much time is left.

thanks

It looks the UI might have frozen on you. After the print completes, you might try power cycling the machine to see if that corrects the issue for future prints. If not, you should [open a ticket with our support team](https://tickets.formlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) so that we can help to troubleshoot.

The print came out correctly and asked me if the print was successful but then it said something like “Warning, there was a problem with your print.” with a Cancel button and Dismiss button I believe.

I’ll cycle it and open a ticket if it shows up again.

thanks
