I'm back in house and have gone through my printer. Measured continuity, checked connections, measured temperature wiggled heater and the thermocouple. Moving the print head about and checking connections did not give any results. Could not find any problems. It may have been a bad connection, electrical interference, earlier Cura models not being compatible.... Started printer and all is well - have printed several different prints and they run through to the end and turn out normal. Great relief and great frustration not to know what really happened. For the time being I settle for bad connection in screw connector on top of printing head - most probable I think. I learned one thing though, the temperature measured is about 6% off the real temperature of the Al head/nozzle. Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks Illuminarti, I will go trought the wiring when I get back to my printer. I already did a visual, but agree that checking for continuity is required to be sure. Any info on where I can look to get to understand the error log?

Having bought my kit about a year ago and assembling it without problems and running it successfully since, I am suddenly in a new situation: Every time I start a print it will go normal for a few minutes and then suddenly the set temperature drops from 220 to 0 degrees and the printing aborts. I've done the following changes between sucessful printing and the new situation: Updated the firmware Updated Cura to 13.10 and then to 13.11 Gone back to 13.03 There is no differnce between running directly from my PC or from the Controller. Below I've printed the error log. I can see something is happening, but I have no idea what is causing it. Any of you out there being able to help me?
