RE: printer stopt and start randomly with usb
Better to use the SD card to reduce the chance of errors.
If the laptop goes into a sleep or idle mode your prints will be interrupted.
To eliminate the SD card shuffle, consider getting a raspberry pi and installing octoprint.

RE: printer stopt and start randomly with usb
Printing through USB is not recommended as it is prone to stops and starts as the USB goes to sleep on the PC, and or another process has a higher priority than the printer software so takes control of the PC causing USB data to be interrupted.
You are better off using an SD card or Octoprint running on a dedicated Raspberry Pi.
