I'm still having the problem it's completely useless can't print anything large, ran through Netfabb and Meshlab fixing everything I could but model's just stop printing while the hot end and bed stays on heated. And not at the same point always at a different spot
I have a quad core computer and the computer has plenty of speed only using a fraction of the CPU power.
Could it be a bad thermistor or something causing this?
I've tried printing many different models it's not likely that all the models I print have bad code when I never encountered this problem originally.
I read these threads a lot and many have experienced the same problem. I doubt if it is related to thermistors or the like.
Some have tried forcing ASCII mode, shielding the usb cables, shielding the LCD cables, etc, etc. The programmers will eventually get this fixed; I just
hope that it is sooner rather than later.

Try turning on the "Checksum" option in Repetier. It should force a retransmit on bad packets.
I've never had this issue with any of my machines, so I'm really at a loss as to what to suggest.

Gene, are you using the alpha version of the firmware?

I can't find a checksum option in my version, I'm using the most recent mac version. 0.56
I just started printing the same object 30 minutes ago with the "Ping Pong" setting ON in Repetier and so far it hasn't stopped!
I'll update when finished

I might be wrong, but I think checksums are required during prints regardless of if you have them forced or not. If truenorthtrader is having the same issue as me, I don't think it's simply bad packets.
I would expect to see a lot of resend requests with interference. I saw it happen on one of my prints and the serial communication from the printer just stops. The host started forcing lines but Rx light on the Rambo wasn't lighting up.

Ok so far it hasn't stopped ONCE. The model printed perfectly but 4/5 the way through was knocked from the bed but kept printing spaghettini.
( my last problem of the nozzle touching the model too much causing it to knock off, still working on flow settings since the extruder calibration set perfectly still flows too much on big models )
I'm printing the portion not printed and ABS gluing & sanding to make a full model.
The only thing I changed was the "Ping Pong" option turned ON hopefully it keeps working, so far it seems to have done the job and hasn't stopped once yet!

hi ;
seems this is a common trouble for large objects sliced via Cura, i faced similar incident when trying to print 15cm height model. i kick my head on trying and trying to play around with the GCode on the stooping point, nothing succeed.
did any body find a solution for this,

Update: So the latest update to the 0.90b has a couple of changes that will hopefully fix this issue.
I've deleted all slices that cause stalls, so I'm lacking a file that I can test this update on.
https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Fi ... issues/120
That's the issue thread on github. If anyone has any files I can test out, or wants to give this a try for themselves I figured I'd post this here.
Also, if it doesn't work. It might be related to the Crowning Threshold setting in KS, and the gap fill setting in Cura.

I had been having this same issue. I was and am still using slicr. I switched from 0.2mm layer height to 0.157mm and the problem went away.

I thought I solved it but it's still doing it. I just had a cut out on a large print, 3 Hours of printing gone!
I printed a small version first without one problem.
All I did was resize it and reprint with slightly more refined Cura settings.
PAIN in the ass!
I also use Cura as Slicer just doesn't cut it when I compare Quality of prints.
Any FIRM solution yet??
This has to be fixed it's really a pain I can't even go anywhere for fear it will quit on me and I loose lots of filament.
