Overheat print after update

My printer always overheats after some time during printing after I updated my Slicer version. I didn't change my presets. I did load new filament spool in, but when I print stuff that I sliced before the update it works just fine. So filament prints normaly. My old g-codes work but not the new ones? Also it doesn't do it in the same spot every time but it does overheat every time I try to print g-code from the updated version. Anyone have the same problem? Where do I look to fix it? I's not even some complicated prints, one is basic square bin, one is dollhouse window - two milimeter thick flat block realy...

RE: Overheat print after update

Which printer?  Are you sure it's overheating and not just triggering a thermal error?  I've found a few times that if I have a small print near the centre of the bed (where the thermistor is), and especially if there's a hole in the centre of the part, then the part cooling fan spends a lot of time over the thermistor and drops the plate temperature locally faster than the heater can keep up.  This then triggers a 'red screen of death'.  The simple workaround is just to print such parts off-centre, so that the part cooling fan isn't so close to the thermistor.

Ah, ok, I don't remember the screen exactly, but I think you're right, there's "thermal error". Printer is Ender 3 upgraded with SKR mini E3 v2.0 and E3DV6 hotend. Here's the thing, with the bin, the print is in the middle of the plate but the error triggers after 50% of the print is done so it's like 5cm up and plate already cooling. It happens more than hour into the print When I print similar thing with old g-code, also in the center, 6cm high, it doesn't do it. Like I said, all the g-code I sliced before the update print normaly, I can do one after another just fine and I usualy do have it in the centre of the plate... But with newly done g-codes it allways stops. I tried tweaking during the printing, lowering the temperature and turning off the bed heating, still errors.
