MK2s suddenly experiencing Bed Thermal Drop
I have been printing face shields for a few weeks (about 80 so far) with no issues. Now suddenly this evening I'm experiencing temperature drops in the bed and after 3 or 4 layers Thermal Runaway stops to the prints. Is there a solution more likely than another. I've checked the fuses and read about raising the voltage, but it has been working without incident for months.

RE: MK2s suddenly experiencing Bed Thermal Drop
had similar problems with mine. turned out the thermistor was cracked/broken. as it heated up, it would expand/change and the readings would fluctuate so the point the thermal_runaway message occurred.
i took apart the thermistor from the hotend and could replicate the problem on the bench while it wasn't moving.
anyway, replaced thermistor and all is good again.
