Strange stop happened..

I have recently bought a smoothieboard for my delta.

Today i got a strange thing happening.
I was printing a new extruder when suddenly in the middle of the print the printer stopped, and in the console
it said "print finished in xx.xxx" ????

Just like that.. No error messages or anything. And no hanging of board or software.

Normally at end of print i have it to raise the head and turn everything off, but it did not do that,
it just stopped in the middle of a line, with everything still on.

When i resliced and started again, it printed to the real end.

PS: I forgot to say i print over USB, have always done that with ramps and never had any problems.

One thing with the Smoothieboard, is that it tends not to respond to G92 E0 commands well. https://github.com/Smoothieware/Smoothieware/issues/432


If you go to the G-Code tab and uncheck "Allow zeroing of extrusion distances(i.e. G92 E0)" that may help.

the random stopping on smoothie has been talked about before. do a search for smoothie. it was a recent discussion. i believe officially smoothie is not supported by simplify......or the other way around. i dont have one so its best you read the thread from other smoothie users.

Yes i have read that, but that only seem to be the case when printing from SD card.
I am not.
And did people get the "print finished" ?
