New build, serious problem
Just built my MK3s kit, assembly went fine and the printer passed self test and calibration (after I'd lowered the PINDA slightly).
Performed Z adjust no problem setting -0.6.
First print, Prusa logo from SD card in supplied silver PLA, printed very well and so printed the whistle. Left the printer, came back to see that it had stopped 20 layers in, that was last Friday night, decided to repeat again but this time sitting by. This time it reset (splash screen on LCD) 11 layers in.
Have attempted to print multiple times but printer always fails to complete usually <20mins into the print. The fail is usually a reset, occasionally printer displays garbage on screen, and one instance it displayed...
 
Garbage...
 
I've contacted tech support chat twice (about 3hours each time) - they've ruled out anything obvious and ended up concluding intermittent fault on bed thermistor (they're sending one out Monday). I think it's more serious and more like Einsey or PSU. Any ideas?
