			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>For those of you that have been waiting for the correct answer.....<br />Bad (intermittent) connection to the heat cartridge is the cause.&nbsp; The interesting part is that it only does this if I increase the speeds and it begins to wiggle the connector.&nbsp; You can see this in the screenshot as I increase the feed rate to 150 that is when the temps become erratic.&nbsp; <br />To answer the other question I posed &quot;Is it Repeatable?&quot;&nbsp; Well yes and no,&nbsp; I have duplicated this five times now by just increasing the speed near the end of the print.&nbsp; Would I be willing to count on it? NO... I have a bad connection that needs to be fixed!!!</p><br /><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/RO9xGqV.png" alt="http://i.imgur.com/RO9xGqV.png" /></span></p><p>I chose this failed print because bad connections are one of the most common problems out there.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t always easy to find when they are intermittent such as this one.&nbsp; When this first happened I thought the exact same thing as Hazer, must have a clog!&nbsp; I new it wasn&#039;t dirty drive gear as I have a Bulldog XL and have never seen it strip the filament.<br />So if you run into problems during a print that is going to cause a failure.&nbsp; Don&#039;t just stare at your printer and hope it all works out.&nbsp; Instead bring up your temp chart and verify things are as they should be.</p><p>Hope this helps someone </p><p>As I always say &quot;If it isn&#039;t fun why would you do it&quot;?</p>]]></content>
