UPDATE - I've been printing from USB port because the SD card slot was jammed. I got a USB extender and have been printing from the SD card for a week without incident. Also learned what you all were talking with regard to reading & sending "codes" to the printer. I downloaded Prontoface to fix a bed leveling issue on my other printer after it was suggested on a user group for the Ender-5 Plus. I had no idea you could talk directly to the printer! Thank you for the help! David

Hi All, It's been doing it again! 3 times in a week on 9 hour overnight prints. I have a major project too finish and I can't have this. Can anyone recommend another slicer?

I just wanted to follow up on this discussion. No printing problems since implementing the 8 character rule. Thanks everyone! David

snekmeseht Before you export the file to print in Cura, modify the file name to no more than 8 characters in the file name. Remember DOS? That fixed it for me. David

Started a new print this morning and made sure the file name was within 8 characters. After an hour, no pausing problems. So far so good. Thanks all for the help! David

Thank you all for the input. After this print, I'll give the shorter filename a try. Also noticed that after the 1.5mm Z height, the issue goes away. EDIT 6/9/2020 I was wrong, it still did it later on in the print. Thanks again, David

Hello all. Got back in the studio this morning and the printer was paused. I'm guessing I wasted at least 6 hours on a 2 day print. Does anyone have any ideas? This is starting to affect my projects.

Just happened again on a new file. So far 5 events in a 3 hour period. I would really like some direction on this problem! Current print will take 2 days. Is there a paid version of Cura that gets more support? Free software is great until it's not. I have this software as part of my business. I can't sleep in my studio pressing the "go" button to continue printing! Help me Obe Wan Kanobie, you're my only hope!

Jason, yes very odd on the randomness. Just came into the studio this morning and halfway through a 24 hour print. So far so good. David Can anyone from Ultimaker jump in here for any advise? Most of my prints take between 8 and 24 hours. I really don't feel that sleeping in my studio waiting to press a button is a good way to go. Any solutions? Thank you.

Update: I uninstalled Cura, ran a registry cleaner then rebooted. Reinstalled Cura without the old configuration files. I received four "Wait for User Input " in a 10 minute period.

Good Morning, What is causing the wait for user input issue. I do not have the code in post-processing. It has been an intermittent issue over previous Cura versions. Is there a way to look at the actual gcode to see if something is being inserted by the software? CR-10 USB connected Cura 4.6.1 Thank you, David
