Printer Shuts off intermittently
Assembled myself. Worked great for 100 hours of printing. First large print part way through the printer stopped and screen went dark with power still on. Powered off then on and screen lights up, goes to status screen with temperatures then goes dark again after a variable number of seconds. Have not upgraded to new firmware yet. Do not see any loose connectors. Any suggestions? I am about to verify the power supply voltages.

Try preheating PLA, measure voltages on the hotend and headbed. Should be 24V
My PSU failed before I managed to finish my first time calibration (feels bad man. had the thing a week) and the voltages on that were showing 12V. Took the PSU off and now they're showing 6V directly off the PSU.

Sounds a bit like a composant is about to fail, have a read through this below, and contact Prusa they are really great to deal with.

I plugged it in another outlet and now it seems to work now. I will see if it happens again and check the voltages. (of course the batteries were dead in my voltmeter so I had to charge them.)
