Solved Printer aborts print 15 minutes, motors sound like jammed

Hi all,

So lately I can't get my R1+ with an e3d volcano to print. It will print the skirt and first 5 layers fine, then the printer will make a god awful noise and simplify3d will abort the print due to temp error(temp is reset). The motors and everything will then act as if they don't have enough power (creaking and such), and then 1 min later everything will work fine again.

The strange thing is, the temp hold steady until the creaking noise beings; The creaking noise starts first, then you can see the temperature begin to drop. I was thinking it may be a power supply issue, but I JUST replaced it a week ago, and it has worked fine up until now.

Any ideas?

 

It won't let me scroll any further than that

Running another print now.
Will try and pull the USB right as it fails to capture the original error

 

Also , Is your ramps fan on the bottom working. This sounds like drivers over heating to me.

 

DING DING DING! Winner!

The fan was running, but the board was still overheating I think. I rigged a second externally powered fan to cool the board and its printing just fine now!

Thanks man!!!!

 

Happy to help. I have been helped many times here by others. This is a great place with many guys having a wealth of knowledge on the Robos.

 

I'm more amazed you were able to know the issue from that little info.
