    Maybe you have it set to use a second extruder that you do not have. Manually check your Gcode.

    i checked the code and slicer and it only uses one extruder.
    but it must be som error with my gcode.

    are there any software that i han test to emulate a print with?

    What slicer are you using?

    Post your Gcode.

    Well monitor your temprature, The chance is pretty big that its going below 170c wich is the minimum set in the Makerfarm printers in the Marlin software.
    When it goes below 170c and doesnt go up again, it will simple quit printing (extruding).

    You can view what the printer will do using a viewer like http://gcode.ws/. Click on the layer info button and then move the slider on the far right up and down to review each layer. The bottom slider can be moved to follow the head move throughout the selected layer.

    Is it intentional that all the layers are 0.35 or 0.4mm in height?
