    I had a print going for 14 hours and was almost complete. (15 minutes from completion) It was printing via the memory card and when I plugged in the USB it stopped printing? Is there anything I can do to continue my print?

    That's normal operation. If you print from the SD, then disconnect, and then reconnect the USB cable, the print will stop.
    And no, you cannot resume, since the gcode file is on the SD card. When you plugged in the USB cable, it reinitiates the printer. So lesson learned especially when doing a 14 hour print at 13:45.

    You will need to rehearse your expletives if you are to 3d print properly.
