Hi and welcome. Could you [edit] your answer to say *which* version you used to fix this, and also which version gave you problems? It would be useful to know which versions are problematic and which aren't.

<p>My ender 3 is repeatedly claiming there is a power outage at the exact same spot in a specific print over and over again. There obviously has been no power outage.

Gcode could be corrupted and crashing the printer, try reslicing on a new install of cura. You can also try formatting the SD card, or reflashing the firmware but I dont suspect this to be an issue

@F.Ahmed Thanks for the comment. I don't know why, but it's working again. Either, reslicing the gcode fixed the problem as you suggested, or increasing the layer width (though I have no idea why that would fix it; that's just the only other thing I changed). It's odd, because I resliced thrice with the same results, but I guess fourth time two weeks later was the charm?

# ender 3 repeated power outage issue

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-05-08)

My ender 3 is repeatedly claiming there is a power outage at the exact same spot in a specific print over and over again. There obviously has been no power outage. The chord is very secure in the outlet, nothing else in the house has turned off or reset, and it happens in the exact same spot over and over again. I've run this print probably about 5 times now, and other prints in between as well. My other prints seem to work (I didn't really want them, so I stop them pretty early on, but long enough I feel confident those prints aren't having the same problem.)

It stops about a couple millimeters after the first circuit of the brim. It claims there was a power outage, and asks if I'd like to resume or quit the print. If I choose to resume, it does not resume from the same spot; it restarts the print from the beginning, makes one circuit of the brim and then dies in the exact same way.

What on earth is going on?
