The printer turns off in the middle of printing

My 3D printer started acting strange recently.
After a few minutes of printing it just shuts down.
I tried changing the power supply and I tried changing the SD card but none of these things solved the problem.
The only thing that makes the printer continue to work without turning off in the middle of printing is printing without heating the printbed.

Does anyone have a direction to give me how to solve this problem?

*I did the test prints with files that were printed successfully in the past, so the problem is not related to GCODE

The most likely cause is a loose connection - pull and reseat all plugs.

Do you still have power to the printer and a visible display?

Is there an error message?

Does power panic offer to resume the print?

Cheerio,

thanks for the reply!

The printer just shuts down.
There is no error message, the screen turns off and there is no indication that the printer is on.
If I turn the power button off and on immediately when this happens, the printer does not turn on.
Only after a few minutes the printer turns on again with the power button.

On the board and power supply all the connections look tight.

As I mentioned, I changed the power supply to another power supply that I have and it still happens.
But when I tried to print without heating the bed, the printing did not stop and the printer did not turn off.

Do you have any idea what makes this happen?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't go by looks, actually break and remake the connections.

Cheerio,

In settings there is a switch that says "turn Off USB when computer goes to sleep" turn it to OFF

Ok there is a short I can guarantee it. They have electroncly resetting fuses so when there is an onboard short the fuse trips and resets after 3 minutes insure there is no shorting and everything is wired correctly also xheck the heatbed end connection. Like deim said reseat all connections.
