UM3 UM3 randomly shutdown during print

[Macooki 1]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with my UM3: it restarts randomly during a print job.
I already had this problem a few weeks ago, it disappeared then reappeared. Now it's systematic and random during printing.

I first suspected my print head cable and changed it, it wasn't in great condition. That didn't change anything. 

 

Here's a list of different info:
- original printcores
- printbed heating is proceeding normally.
- machine fully reset

- test with different usb drive

- Cura 5.4 and 5.3 firmware

I think it may be my power supply failing, but I'd find it odd if it happened randomly during printing and not during heating.

 

 

I've attached all log files in a zip. Also, is there a tutorial to know how to interpret its?

 

Thank you!

Some news, i found a cable that was a little clamp, not cut at all, and change it.

Unfortunately nothing change...

I'll try dissasemble the printhead and check if everything is good.

Sounds like a short, or a bad power supply.

I completly disassembly my printhead and deep clean it with isopropyl alcool, two things occur to me:

- the screw that hold printhead's pcb was a little loose, now it's steady. To be more accurate, the nut was not glue onto the PCB so the screw couldn't be tighten without holding the nut.

- there was some oil on the PCB

 

I think it was those two things that occur that crash

 

I just launch a print, i'll be back to tell you if it was these.

So it crash again, i'm going to buy a new power supply...

And it was the power supply... Everything is perfect now

 

 

So for people questioning, if you can printing without any problem on your UM3 but your leds are flikering time to time, i think it's beginning of the failing power supply before it completly failed. With a new power supply leds lights aren't flikering anymore 😉
