<p>On my Anet A8 3 printer, running Skynet. When I <strong>do not</strong> use the <code>G29</code> command, Auto Bed Level, the printer won't print and just extrudes plastic in mid-air. But when I do use the <code>G29</code> command it will home and start to print but no plastic will come out. The extruder motor and the connector both work.

<p>Here is the start G-code I use:</p>

G28 Z0

Probably inside the code there is a wrong parameter or the secuence is not correct, you should post here some initial lines to start printing to verify.
