First print - printer pausing repeatedly
First off, this is my first post! I just finished assembling and leveling my new Prusa i3v 10".
I'm in the middle of printing the test cube, and the printer keeps stopping for a few seconds at a time, sometimes jerking a little here and there while stopped. Then it will go just fine for a bit.
I'm printing from Pronterface on a Macbook Air. Any thoughts?

Can you post a video of what's going on?

Welcome to the board.
Does it restart by itself or do you have the restart? What slicer are you using?

I will try to capture one if it happens again. I suspect it might have been my Macbook Air's limited memory? I was browsing the web while Pronterface was running (I was running the print from Pronterface rather than the SD card).
It stopped doing it once I left the Macbook Air alone. Weird.

It is quite normal to do this if you print over the USB. Use the SD card to print at least until you are sure of the setup you have.
