Hi there, last year I got a P1S and it printed well for about half a year then it started to just stop printing mid-print – – for no reason I can see. Now if I make anything but a small model it will most likely print some then stop in the middle of the print, since it started to do this I have swapped the hot end for a new one and it does exactly the same thing, can someone please suggest what might be causing this ? as it is very annoying.
Different plastics with or without a filament drier it just randomly stops - If I tell it to make the same model twice it will stop in two different places,
Any ideas ?
This behavior has been previously documented - it happened to me. One cause is that the SD card is corrupt and the card needs reformatting or replacement if formatting doesn’t work.
The reigning theory is that the when the G-code is being read from the SD card, corrupted values are stalling the firmware.
Just go into the panel menu and navigate to the SD card and format from within the printer.

Your SD card could be full. Or there could be something wrong with the printer that causes it to think there’s a problem and stop. Try recalibrating and tightening your Z-axis band
Thanks so much, I’ll give that a try
: )
I formatted the sd card from the printer as you said and it has been printing various things since with success from then until now, thank you so much YAY ! ! ! ! ! ! !
