Topic: Print stops abruptly with M999 error

Hi Soliforum,

I haven't printed in awhile but I pulled it out to print some more. When I print, it prints a little bit (though the filament catches on the nozzle a little bit and balls up sometimes?), but after 15-30 seconds of printing, I get the error

09:47:52.264 : Printer stopped deu to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart!. (Temperature is reset. Set it before restarting)

and the job just stops. Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
TGB

PS: I have a solidoodle 2 and am using repetier v0.85

Re: Print stops abruptly with M999 error

Mind testing again and having a look at the temperature graph of your print? Would also be helpful posting said graph here.
If its a short or a broken wire somewhere it will show up as a drop to 0 on the graph.

Might look a bit like this: http://imgur.com/F7CC42h

This is a crowd funding thing that I'm running: http://www.gofundme.com/bvi140 It's for pretty selfish reasons tongue

Re: Print stops abruptly with M999 error

I had the same error till I dropped the temp of the filament. By the looks of it, the temp controller was maxing out trying to maintain the temp but couldn't do it so returned an error. Works fine now.
