Is this something you designed yourself? Maybe try download a .STL file from www.thingiverse.com and try print it. Make sure your extruder is not slipping. Maybe it's slipping sometimes and cause the printer not to print.

It could be loads of other things causing the problem though. Please post your setting you are using.

Have you calibrated your printer properly?

Calibration is so important. That is probably why your 3D printer is not printing good quality prints. Have a look at the link below and read through EVERYTHING. There is a lot of information all regarding calibration and it will definitely help. Please read though all of it and apply it to your printer. Then let me know if it has helped
