			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>What do you mean it stops printing? Does one or more axis freeze? Does it stop extruding? </p><p>From the photo it appears that the head is still moving but extrusion has stopped, and before completely stopping it&#039;s severely under-extruding for a half cm or so (if I have the scale of those photos right).</p><p>Overheating of the extruder stepper or is driver seems possible,though it&#039;s hard to tell. My first thought would be a hot end clog, but if you&#039;re not having trouble starting the next print and you say it&#039;s been recently cleaned, I guess that probably rules that out. </p><p>While printing are you getting any skipping noises from your extruder like it&#039;s having a hard time pushing it through?</p><p>I don&#039;t know if the Jr mainboard has trim pots for its drivers. I&#039;ll have to inspect mine. If so, you could try tweaking those down (if you suspect overheating) a tiny bit and see if it lasts longer. Maybe even just try removing the bottom cover to get a bit more airflow to the board? The blue 4-pin 2mm connector goes to the extruder. If there is a trim pot it&#039;s probably close to that.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Ladies and gents,</p><p>Quick one.</p><p>Any print which takes more than an hour or so ends up like in the photo.<br />(it&#039;s not caused by my heater block upgrade, it&#039;s been doing this for a week or so)</p><p>Any ideas?<br />Extruder was disassembled last night and brushed out clean like new.<br />Hotend also went through the weekly maintenance.<br />All my filaments are stored in boxes with massive desiccant bags inside. Temperature +/- 22c, humidity never goes over 30%<br />I hope it&#039;s not stepper controller which overheats or so...</p><p>Thanks in advance.</p>]]></content>
