· 3d printer stops at random times in the print
If this happened on an ultimaker I would say it's probably the power supply. The Ultimaker power bricks will just suddenly cut power for a portion of a second and the printer reboots and if you aren't watching it the moment it happens it has already rebooted by the time you look.
You can reduce power consumption by not using the heated bed at all for a print (use blue tape) or set the heated bed to a *higher* temp (it uses less power at higher power because it is warmer - overall it uses more power but on the second to second bases it uses less max power).
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

Thank you, I'll try to reduce power consumption. And do you think adding a powerful capacitor to the output of the power supply could help?
