Hi,

Thank you for your help this is just weird and I cannot figure out what is going on.

After a little bit of printing between 30-60min the extruder just stops moving, it is still powered up and holding steps. If I push on the filament hard enough I can feel it skip a step, but it is not even trying to extrude. The temps are showing normal at 190 deg, and it is still moving like it is printing.

But here is where it is really odd, when I reset the printer and go to prepare move - extrude it extrudes without question.

It is a Makergear Prusa, Marlin Ramps 1.4

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Does your stepper motor on the extruder get hot? (maybe the motor has an internal heat shutoff)
