I have 3 crafting stations (food & chemical kit, generic kit, and a weapon, droid, and general item kit) and none will work. Every time I try to open them, they just give me the message "failed to start the crafting session". There is NOTHING in the hopper of any of the 3, nor is my inventory full. I've crafted fine for a long time now, this problem just popped up yesterday. The command to stop crafting doesn't seem to work either. I don't know if death can also cause stations to decay but the stations do not list item condition. Being logged off for a long period didn't remedy the problem either. There is nothing in the knowledge base and my past 2 inquiries were given inadequate responses. One told me to clear the hopper after I had already stated that the hopper was empty; the other just locked the forum since this isn't really considered a tech support problem (I think I'm getting EQCSR flashbacks...). Any help is greatly appreciated; thanks.

I haven't had this problem in quite some time myself, but try typing "/stopcrafting" then try to craft again...

Did they fully decay upon death?
If they did, this renders them useless and they will "fail".

from what it sounds like is that your inventory was full when an item was done crafting, make sure you have room in your inventory, right click and hold on the crafting station, drag the cursor to the "Start Crafting" or whatever it says above the crafting station, but dont let go of the mouse button, a new option should appear that says get prototype item. Move your cursor up and then let go of the button, the item should show up in your inventory and you shouold be able to craft with it again.

i had the same problem, but after a while it finally let me get the prototype from the craft kit. It took like 2 days i think.

I had this problem and finally realized it was because they had decayed, and I had to get rid of them all. And like they said above, make sure you don't have items in them because your inventory was full.

sounds like they're fully decayed. I'd just destroy them and make/purchase some new ones. That's what i had to do a little while back. Accidentally took them with me when i went up to the Corvette...Oopss

Foe what its worth, you get the same message when the crafting _tool_ -- not station -- has decayed to zero. You may want to try the station with a new crafting tool to see if it works. It would be a shame to dump a whole crafting station when all you need is a new crafting tool

Yeah it is the tool not the station
they are insurable for a reason, and decay to 0 which actually disables them unlike clothing. 
No there is no way to check this out and no way to see how decayed they are until you die the next time. I think it might tell you then in the popup window, but I have never really looked since I rarely die with my crafting stuff on me anymore.
Just get or make some new ones and see if they work. then you know it is the tool.
