Hello,
During the middle of the print my filament stops extruding. The motors are still running and the software has no issue.
I also have this issue when its creating a raft. I have to push down my filament for it to keep extruding.
I tried to print the same part using mattercontrol and have no issues. Not sure what is wrong with this software.
I have a robo3d printer, kickstarter version.
Please help. Thanks

Re: filament stops extruding
If the motor is spinning and filament isn't coming out of the nozzle then either you stripped the filament (meaning that the drive gear has nothing left to grab on to) or the nozzle is clogged.
If you stripped the filament, perhaps you can try running at a lower speed. Sometimes if you try to print too fast, it will end up causing this issue.
If it's because of the nozzle being clogged, then fix that and maybe try a slightly higher temperature (actually, slower speed would likely help here too!)
