    Suddenly, about 50% done with a print, my printer randomly started printing an OLD print from last month (Thats not even on the SD card anymore) this is completely insane and I have no idea what caused it.... any clues?

    How did you do the print? Attached to a computer over USB, attached ot a computer but off of the SD card, from the SD card with no computer, etc.

    Via SD card, no USB connected.

    Then that sir, is both terrifying and awesome :)

    Format that SD card and try again. There is not any way the arduino could have stored information on an old sliced print. The SD card might be corrupted is about all I can think of.

    Ah good idea...reformating the SD card is the only logical idea. Thanks!

    Alright, I'll do a long full format of the SD card and remake the STL files and let you know what happens :)
