        <title>Print stopping unexpectedly</title>
        <description> Hello, recently bought a ramp shell 1.4 and am using the Arduino Mega 1280 with the 10.10 pronterface and ubuntu, but I had problems with printing, because each time the print in the middle, someone could help me with this? 
thank you 
ps. worked hard to put part of buffer&#039;m not getting satisfactory results using firmware sprinter</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I don't have Ramps electronics (Sanguinololu) but I do get periodic disconnects of the USB connection. One thing I found that was causing it was a fluorescent magnifier that I have near the printer. Any time I moved the magnifier, the USB would disconnect from the printer and stop printing. I stopped using the magnifier but still get disconnects, so I supposed it is some other EMI in the house causing it. Trying to eliminate things on at a time.<br />
<br />
Where can I get one of those ferrous torus magnets?<br />

<br />
My result was different. EMI disconnects (or maybe reconnection) would reset my Arduino MEGA when printing from SD (so print was stopped).<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I added debug into the sprinter linear_move() function. It read the state of each end stop while it was doing the move and built a string with a 1 for end activated and 0 for not activated and then printed it out if any of the end stops were activated.<br />
<br />
I didn't test with endstops unplugged, but, yes, it could still happen with them unplugged as it was just electical noise in my circuit which was sometimes enough to register on the arduino pin being used for endstop testing.<br />
<br />
The EMI disconnect shouldn't cause you trouble when printing from SD - I've had them while printing from SD and the print has continued ok. However, the fact that they occur means that there is something up with the electronics which can cause other issues.<br />
<br />
Note that when I was getting spurious end stop activations, they were only momentary and didn't stop the print - they just caused it to go a bit haywire as illustrated <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leadlinedboot/6335435070/" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">here</a>.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ @ CeeThreeEs - How did you manage to prove that you were getting spurious end stop activations? And could this still happen with the endstops unplugged? Finally could EMI still cause trouble when printing from SD? Sorry for the barrage - any comments much appreciated :-)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I was getting random resets - each of which I later found was matched with a usb disconnect due to EMI as reported in the ubuntu syslog. I didn't ever prove it but I think they were the result of glitches induced when the extruder heater switches off. When I enabled PID control of the heater (which makes the problem worse because it switches the heater much more frequently), the resets happened more frequently and I was getting spurious end stop activations as well (I did manage to prove those). I fixed it (fingers crossed) by installing a transient voltage suppression diode as described here (<a href="http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?13,101472,101487#msg-101487" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">forums.reprap.org</a>)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Daniel,<br />
<br />
Sorry just got back to your PM. Not sure if I can help - is your printer stopping completely, or pausing? IE missing or skipping steps? I have a very similar setup to yours and have had trouble with missing steps. Never fully resolved though, my latest effort to fix is adjusting the buffer like this - [<a href="http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?218,86984,86984" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">forums.reprap.org</a>]<br />
<br />
Hard to tell if it worked or not though - have previously gotten through three hour prints only to have the problem re occur ...<br />
<br />
Might look at the driver again and retest with windows too. This seems to be quite a broad issue and not based on a single cause. Opto end stops can cause trouble, power supplies too, usb cables, pololu settings all seem to be possible influences.<br />
<br />
Anyway let us know how you get on / got on. I'd be particularly interested to see if that buffering link above has any effect for you.<br />
<br />
