Gen6 disconnects when attempting to print
July 25, 2013 08:37PM
I have recently constructed a Prusa Mendel i2, with a Gen6 for a brain. All the mechanics work good, I am able to manually move every axis and extrude plastic. I am able to begin a print. It seems to be working fine. Then it just disconnects and stops moving. The printer is still on, but I have to disconnect and reconnect to get pronterface to control it.

I had similar problems before . In my case it was the USB cable plug at the Gen 6 end. i tried a different cable and i havent had the problem since.
it may also be the connector on the Gen 6 board

Good luck
