I don't think the problems are related, first because the stopping started long before I started messing with the warmup sequence and second because the stopping also happen after 10 minutes pre-warming

hm... can you give some more data here? My buddy had similar problem, and it was the temperature problem, so I've posted that as an answer.

I don't have more data to give, I haven't found any consistency in when this happens (except that it's always in the first layer), it just happens randomly, I really have no idea what is causing this - I will look at the temperature reading next time this happens

<p>I'm using Cura with the Pronterface UI to slice/print and sometimes printing just stops - always in the first layer - when it happens the printing screen shows "Waiting for user", when I press the button on the printer printing resumes.</p>

<p>I don't know when this happens, it just happens about once every 5-10 prints, when this happens if I close the printing window and immediately click "print to usb" to reopen it the problem doesn't repeat.</p>

<p>This only happens with the Pronterface UI, it doesn't happen with Cura basic UI or when printing using an SD card.</p>

<p>Not using Pronterface isn't a good option because when I'm fine-tuning a model it much more convenient to send a test print from the computer and not copy the gcode to an SD card and print from the printer.</p>

Hi! Do you know if this happens when Pronterface is the "program in front"? I have had issues like this where Pronterface gets starved for resources because it is laying in the background while I do other stuff on my computer.

@TormodHaugene no, its not related, it also happens when Pronterface is the active window and the computer isn't doing anything else

What makes Pronterface wait for user?
