    My printer just started this today. It is printing out the first layer in squiggles. 1420224039688-582578536.jpg It almost looks as if it is printing out a raft. But i have raft disabled. I did the auto print leveling configuration. But it still did it.
    Edit: UMMMMM OKAY NOW IT JUST SHUT OFF! What the heck does that mean?
    Edit: It looks as if the power cable was loose. But it is still doing the "Squiggles".
    Edit: i reconnected the printer. Its working now. But now it is only pronting on one side.

    I was getting the same thing I tried leveling more times then I can remember in the end I figured out that my 2 rods were not set the same. turn the higher one down or the lower one up and then re config the height and try again. repeat till its perfect.

    Good luck.

    Your first layer is way too high

    Classic example of filament 'dropped' into place, not 'pressed' into place.
