Strange print issue
It was about 9ish hours into a print this morning when I happened to notice the nozzle seemed to be stalled on top of the print. It struggled for a moment then raised about 10mm and continued to try to print in mod air. The reported Z height on the display was correct for the model but not accurate to current position. Printer has 52 days of print time and I have not seen this issue prior.
where should I start with this?
thanks!
RE: Strange print issue
Did you have any power issues? That would be my first thought. You might want to check your connections, the Z axis may not be getting proper signals.

RE: Strange print issue
No power issues as far as I can tell. I did order new nuts for the z axis just in case it slipped though it seems okay. It has not done it again since this incident. One really strange thing I noticed today was it now shows 104 days 17h 57m print time in statistics. This just can’t be correct or even in the ballpark.

I don't think the Stats are reliable!
