I am printing some pretty large part using Simplify3D.
After one hour printing the printer freezes and I can read the following text on the Simplify3D output window:
…

(it continues forever)

What may be happening here? :frowning:

Are you printing from a computer? Is it possible your computer is “going to sleep” during print?

Note that I am talking about “output window” so, yes, I am printing from the computer.
And no, it was not sleeping obviously, it was printing !

Make sure your computer isn’t turning off the USB port for power savings.

Control Panel => Hardware and Sound => Power Options
Make sure High Performance is selected.

USB does not go down while there is activity on the wire, And there was a heavy activity ant the moment of the error. So i belive this cannot be the problem.
