Print Stopping Mid Print

FullSizeRender

Hello,

I have ran into this issue on 3 different prints in the last few days. The prints start fine, but part way through it stops printing and then eventually the z-axis drops the hot end into the print ruining it. Not sure if it is the firmware, mechanical, or a setting I messed up on the prusa slicer.

I have been having issues like this as well.. The print would start fine usually with the first 30% or so printing fine. Then it would start printing in mid-air and eventually dive into my print. The error it gave me after waiting a few mins was "Bed leveling failed" Apparently it was trying to probe the print bed in the middle of printing a model. Today I swapped out the USB thumbdrive that came with my MINI for one I had lying around. Every print from the new thumbdrive has been successful, even the models that had serious issues previously. I suspect that the one sent with the MINI has issues when adding files to it as all of the pre-loaded models printed fine. I hope this helps you too!

Awesome and thanks. I found an old USB and tried it on a print that failed twice before, exact same file, and it worked perfectly. That is definitely not something I would have thought to troubleshoot.
