  1. Just recently I've had this exact problem with my S5, and upon further investigation found it was my filament sensor. Mine was doing the same exact thing that yours is where it pauses, homes, then cools down the hotend and says "print paused" on the screen. I didn't think to take a look at the filament sensor because the screen said nothing about filament runout, but upon attaching the filament sensor cable to the small sensor substitute that came with the printer (the one that tricks the printer into thinking the sensor is active) the printer worked as normal. One potential cause of the issue could be a bend in the filament which creates enough of a gap to deactivate the sensor's limit switch, but it is possible you could fix the problem by layering tape on the sensor to make sure it triggers no matter what.
  2. So my printer (reprap prusa i3) worked just fine, until one day, the extruder just started trying to eject the filament rather than push it out the hot end. I use Cura, and I believe that the issue is due to a setting that I may have changed accidentally. I printed a file that used older settings, and it printed just fine. I have seen many posts that mention switching around the wires, however, I do not think that that would fix the problem because it worked fine before. Any suggestions?
