Mid print issue
I have 2 i3MK3S+ units and both have done this before, has anyone seen something like this? Do you know how to fix? It seems like the print is bad but everything looks fine when I slice.

Usual things to check are for loose pulleys on that axis and / or belt tensions.
RE: Mid print issue
If similar things have happend to both machines, i might check using a different sd-card
Prusa Mini+ kit. BondTech extruder. FW 5.1.2
Prusa MK3S+ kit. Stock. FW 3.11.0
Prusa MK3S+, used. Stock. FW 3.13.3
RE: Mid print issue
I will check that out. Thank you for your help!
RE: Mid print issue
I agree. If it fails on separate printers, your gcode or SD card may be the issue.

Are you using Prusament?
Sometimes the filament jams on the edge of the reel, where the end of the filament can be parked.
this issue can cause intermittent feed issues.

RE: Mid print issue
It seems that for every problem there are a dozen causes. I've had an issue that looked exactly like that printing PLA on a hot day (or in an enclosure) Printing PLA in an ambient temperature of more than about 30°C will cause heat creep and a partial or complete blockage.
Just one more thing to check!
