Erratic axis movements, then print slows to a crawl and stops.
I'm having issues on some prints where as the print progresses the extruder movement starts to become erratic, moving away from the print in x, y and z directions. This gets more common with increasing layers until the movement begins to slow down and the nozzle starts to hit the print. The print speed then slows to a stop and freezes.
It happens about every third print. I have no idea what it could be. Any suggestions?

Do you print of an USB stick? Maybe try another.

Good shout, I'll give that a go over the weekend, my next few prints are loaded on a second USB memory stick.
Thanks.

Haven't seen the issue since switching from the USB supplied with the printer to a spare I had lying around. Cheers for the suggestion. Very much appreciated.
