Rostock Max stops during print "Cannot connect to printer"

Post by beilmandesign »

Any ideas or similar experiences to share?

The problem I am seeing is that the printer stops mid-print. If I try the same file it stops at various stages and never in the same place. Mattercontrol says it has stopped working and if I restart it cannot connect to the printer. A restart is required to clear my com port 7.

This is happening on every build & every file I try. I have over 200 hours previously with no issues.
Reboots, & re-installation of the Rambo drivers have had no effect.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try the sd card?

That way you can know if it is the computer or the rambo.

Yes, Sorry I should have provided that information in my original message. Using the SD card exhibits the same mid-print freeze-up problem.

I removed the acrylic panel on the side of the enclosure and aimed a small fan directly at the rambo board - problem solved.
