Since last Firmware Update Prints stop mid print
I recently updated my FIRMWARE to latest version and now have problems with prints stopping mid print. The extruder shuts off and the printer keeps going.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I also found that periodically when I tell the filament to unload the motor doesn;t push it out. I have had the machine for about 1 year. Is it common for the motor to fail that quickly?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

First open the nextruder idler and blow/brush out any residue then do a cold pull. Come back if the problem persists.
Cheerio,

Cleared out any residue and had machine perform coldpull twice. Was able to print a small item but then the larger item stopped mid print.
Is this an issue with one particular print or with all larger prints?
If you have micrometer, measure your filament diameter in three places about 50cm apart and average the result - is it within spec?
Try tweaking your extruder idler pressure - keep a careful count of the turns, it might be as little as a quarter turn off and you need to be able to go back accurately.

Not sure how to do all that, but I guess it will be a learning curve. Thank you for the information.
