Yep. It was the cable. Better cable and it hasn't disconnected yet after 15 hours of run time. Thanks guys.

I use an apc brand ups. A tiny power outage can easily cause a loss in connection.

A long shot but a good shielded USB cable can help with this. Haven't had trouble on my Solidoodle but my cnc router would frequently break comms mid job until I bought a double shielded cable.

Make sure the drive and usb power you've got the software installed on doesn't have a sleep timer going.
Assuming you've got win7 you should be able to simply type 'power' into the start bar and find all the relevant settings.

Make sure your computer isn't set to go to sleep or hibernate automatically. If it isn't set to automatically sleep, then some other process may be at fault. Unfortunately, computers run many processes at once, and sometimes things just don't work out for one process (Repeteir Host) if another decides to freeze up. My old computer would do this occasionally with long prints.

My SD2 runs great I absolutley love it. However, if I get over 9 to 10 of straight run time it will just stop and lose all communication. There is no recovering from that. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm at a loss.
