"Print Paused by the user"

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a recurring issue over my last 4 or 5 prints. After about 20 minutes, my printer stops with the message ‘Print stopped by the user’ or ‘Filament clogged or heatbed crooked.’

The weird thing is that neither of these issues is actually happening, and I definitely didn’t pause the print myself. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Keeping an eye on this. I’ve started having the same issue.

I hope that someone can help us!
I can’t post a photo of my last print, but it’s clearly visible where the print stopped and started again. It’s systematic. I’m not printing anything right now because of frustration.

My did that for a few prints and now it’s is taking twice as long to print items.

I was able to figure out my issue. Apparently Bambu Wood PLA doesn’t play well with the .4mm hardened steel nozzle.

I usually see two reasons for this:

  1. For some reason your 3mf file has pauses set on the preview tab. Maybe you forgot, maybe you downloaded the file from makerworld, maybe ghosts - it happens. Check this bar for pauses.

  2. Your microSD card is going bad. In my experience microSD cards are a consumable part for bambu printers. It’s strange and a little annoying, but I find my average sd card lasts about 9 months in the printer before it starts misbehaving. I keep a few spares on hand just for them. Try a different one, or at least formatting the current card.
