I just got a Prntrbot Simple Metal the other day and I'm trying to figure out all the stuff it can do. Unfortunately, I've been unable to print anything because it keeps stopping in the middle of a print. what it will do is, just stop moving in the X and Y access, and keep feeding PLA into a blob until a pull the power. Here's a picture of it http://imgur.com/jX381ET


It happens randomly at different points in the print, but so far it has done it on 3 different models and usually on like the third layer in a different spot. That tells me it's most likely not a corrupt STL. when I check the error log it says


Code:
Recv: Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 365
Recv: Resend: 366
Recv: ok
Send: N366G1 X94.757 Y93.944 E27.86820*123
Recv: ok
Send: N367G1 X95.065 Y93.636 E27.88993*112
Communication timeout during printing, forcing a line
Send: M105 T0


But I believe the communication error is because I have unplugged it. The most info I can find on this is a USB cable losing connection, but I would imagine I would hear the windows USB disconnect sound if that happened...


I HAVE successfully managed to print 2 things, which came out kind of crappy, but I can't even begin to get into fine tuning settings if I can't even get it to complete a print >.< Heres my cura settings
