Print just stops?

Print just stops?

The print starts fine then stops after the first few layers. I done a 5 hour print yesterday and it was fine.

I'm using Simplify3D and this is the message I get:

Marlin: 1.0.0 RC2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you print the object from SD card? This will isolate a communication problem.

If it still fails then perhaps Simplify3D is sending some GCode that confuses Marlin. Trying with another slicer would isolate that problem.

Beyond that you would need to check the hardware out for e.g. bad usb cable connection if printing over USB or poor power supply to Melzi connections. These are speculative but I would rule out a communications or software issue first.
