Hey guys,
We have an Ultimaker 2 in our institute at the university and lately it runs really incredibly good!
But 2 days ago I ran into a problem. I was printing a "large" file which took about 32 hours or so to print. The file itself is roughly 90 MB. I started the print and everything runs fine for quite some hours. When I came back the next day for a check, the nozzle just stopped while the build plate was still up. So it just stopped printing.
I had no idea why but also didn't look into this deeper.
Today the same thing happened with a different print. Again a long print for like 22.5 hours. The file size now was around 46 MB. Starting the print was fine and printing for several hours was alos fine. When I checked in the morning, it was the same situation again. The movement has just stopped, the nozzle and build plate are cold but still are in the last position of a print.
I have no idea whats happeing here. We are checking our Ultimaker also online with OctoPrint and there I saw in the status area where it says "printed" it was something like "16 of 46 MB", and this didnt change. Maybe that was the point where it stopped?
Is there a possibilty that the RAM is overloading or so and the Ultimaker cannot handle such "big" files?
Hope you guys have some ideas.
Thanks,
Jamo
