Incomplete File when adding material change

Hi All - quite new to the 3D print world - but getting on OK. I have done some prints with one colour change no problem. I have now got a new print - that works fine with no changes - but when I add 2 colour changes ( to get a middle layer a separate colour) - the G-Code file is flagged as 'incomplete' by the printer. I cannot figure out why this is - any tips ? Thanks Jonathan

RE: Incomplete File when adding material change

An incomplete file is often times a result of not properly dismounting (ejecting) a removable drive.  On some versions of Linux, for example, it can leave an incomplete file or else a 'runt' (zero bytes) file.

Other OSes may or may not be more forgiving. This may or may not be your issue, of course.

Hi - Thanks for the reply. I had done some reading around this before I asked the forum. I have negated the corrupt card problem - by re formatting the card - and using an alternative card too - still the problem persists.  I am at a bit of a loss....

Thanks Jonathan

Any more ideas out there ? It could be a TinkerCad issue - as I am not getting this problem with other designs I have made ? What to look for / fox on my simple design ?  Any help appreciated this is driving me mad.
