Printer Just Stops Sometimes
I'm having this problem with my MK3 S printer. I assembled it about 6-9 months ago, worked great for quite a while. Recently though every few prints fail. I don't get an error or crash, the print just stops. The extruder stays in place but the temperature of the bed and extruder are set to 0. Sometimes a print will fail, I'll try again with no modifications and then it works.
I'm using Octoprint and there are no suspicious messages in the logs. I've also looked through all the menus on my printer and they all look fine.
Any ideas? Where should I start looking?
RE: Printer Just Stops Sometimes
I have had that happen a few times when doing a filament swap after runout detection. I think part of it is bumping the USB cable. I've learned to stage filament so I don't have to fumble around the printer when changing. Check the USB cable to make sure it's not pulling when the print moves. Finally, verify you don't have the issue when printing from SD card.

I'll try looking at the USB cable but it doesn't have any correlation to filament swapping.
