    Hi

    During a print the printer started to sound "tired" and then stoped. After a reboot the motors wont respond and the printhead temp is 350 degrees. Other then that the fan and the heatbord still works.

    Anyone have a clue of what needs to be replaced?

    Have you checked the wireing? maybe somethings loose, a connection etc.
    the "temperature" of the printhead means that the wire is open (loose connection, wire broken oder thermistor failure).

    A high reading like 350 means you have a short on the thermistor cable

    I removed the J head today in preparation for installing an E3D head and noticed that one of the thermistor wires was jammed inside the J head groove next to one of the screws. The screw did not work its way through the insulation yet but it very close.
