Re: Printer randomly stops whilst printing

I am using the latest stable Version of repitier and sometimes have hiccups as well . IMHO  some websites have lots of spyware that interfere. Tripod .com seems to bog down my prints. The best way to run cnc is a clean system not contented to the web. The older RH seems to run smoother.

I would lean towards unstable power or possible  USB interruption.

Re: Printer randomly stops whilst printing

It could be, but I think you'd notce the USB port being loose or bad solder joints.
Have you discussed this issue with SD support?

So maybe it's a bad PSU?  That's an easy test.
