Topic: Pauses during a print

I am just trying to print a gear vase and it seems it pauses every so often causing blobs of filament. My computer is not that old and have not had this happen before and just got the SD2 less then a week ago.

Re: Pauses during a print

If your computer is running other things, you may just be getting momentary timeouts on your printing software... What else do you use the machine for?

Nothing besides my browser. Maybe I should try a different slicer.

Re: Pauses during a print

My printer will pause when I switch between two of my PCs (Windows 7). Are you adding/removing another USB device by chance?

Nope but I did notice the vase I was printing was solid for some reason. Maybe it just stressed the system. Didn't mean to try and print it solid. Good thing I noticed.
