<p>I have just built my Anet A8 and it won't print. </p>

<p>I will preheat it (190°C 60°C) and then press "<code>Print File</code>" and select, then it starts for a second, gets to around 11% and stops and shows "<code>Preheat PLA</code>". The PLA is already preheated - it is coming out of the nozzle. </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

I fixed this by securing the thermistor and putting a thermal insulator between the block and the wires. I also put a small piece of heat shrink between the wires to insulate them so they will never touch. Thank you and I hope this helps.</p>\n"}, {'answer_id': 6638, 'author': 'joe b', 'author_id': 12626, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/12626', 'pm_score': 0, 'selected': False, 'text': "<p>The Anet A8 files that come preloaded are <code>.stl</code> so if you try to print those it will say printing zero percent and then just switch right back to preheating PLA without any error message.
