That was it!! I got both the filastruder and filawinder kits and I mixed up the power supplies not realizing or checking that they might be different amp ratings. Hooked the filastruder up to the 5 amp power supply and it stayed on. Thanks a million!!!

You're losing power, probably overloading the power supply. Are you sure you're using the correct power supply? Should be rated for 5 amps.

As the subject says, I have an issue with my filastruder power cycling off and on every few seconds. I have read on another post that it is likely the over current protection circuit in the power supply but I can't find any shorts. I am getting positive 12V between the power wire into the main switch and pin 10 on the controller. When it is on I also get positive 12V between the wires going into the stall protection board so I don't think I have a polarity issue. Best I can tell I have wired it correctly per the instructions, I just can't figure out what might be tripping the power supply. On the temperature controller Pins 7 and 10 have continuity across the heater ring, pins 8 and 9 have continuity across the jumper, and pins 3 and 4 have continuity across the thermocouple. There isn't any continuity between any other combination of pins. I am at a loss. I've put pictures of the wiring, voltage readings, and stall board display values in the google drive file linked below. Any help would be appreciated
