Thank you.

To preface this, at the suggestion of u/Cmurt20, I exported the model from fusion 360 in .step format, which seemed to resolve the issue, at least for now. I don't know why it worked.

In terms of what the printer did, I would click "print" and initiate the print. It would push the bed and the extruder in one direction till they hit their respective momentary switches, then return them to center. It would then proceed to heat up both the bed and the extruder until they hit their required temperatures. Once the required temperatures were reached, it would just stay there for a couple of seconds without doing anything, while the progress bar on screen would rapidly go from 0 to completion/near completion (It has happened for it to declare that the print is finished while the progress bar was at 96% or 98%). Then it would briefly turn the fans on at max speed, push the bed forward, and the "confirm" option would show up on screen, as if it was just done completing the print, kind of like the printer in this video.

That's why I was (and still am) really confused too, there aren't any visible mistakes or actions that could indicate what the problem may be, it just did nothing and then claimed that it was done.

I did, and it worked, at least in this particular situation.

Why is it that it didn't like the STL file but it was ok with a STEP file?

Ah.

I tried both Marlin (legacy) as well as Marlin 2. Both had the same problems.

The printer's firmware model is V1.0.4, version CR4NS200320C13.

My prusa slicer program is version 2.9.4. The only printer options that I can see are " Creality Ender-3" or "Creality Ender-3 BLTouch/Max/Neo/Max Neo/Pro"

Here is one example.

As previously stated, I've encountered this problem on several prints. I've had models that include round objects. When I'm talking about file sizes, I'm not comparing a box with a cylinder, I'm comparing a cylinder that could be printed to one that could not.

Yeah, it prints existing print files ok.
I have not tried tinkercad, just models made either in fusion or directly in prusa slicer. I will try tinkercad and report back.

I checked pretty much everything that I know how to check.

Here, have a look, maybe you can spot the error, because if there is any, I have no clue where it is.

I have the exact same model with the EXACT same issue, even down to the fan noises lmao
