Hi. I'm fairly new to printing at home and have had an issue with larger prints, I was wondering if anyone can help.

The file, sliced on Cura, has a print time of 9hrs 10min. I load it up and start printing. All good. Tidy lines, good base etc. I go away, and at some point, the print time goes from 9hrs to 1hrs and the print completion says 45% or something similar. The print is nowhere near complete and when I let it finish, the extruder does not return to 'home' it just stops.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Printing on an Elegoo Neptune Pro.
 
It’s got all the symptoms of a corrupt gcode file or SD card/usb drive. Try:

- slicing again, preview resulting gcode file in gcode preview see if it looks ok

- try different thumb drive or SD card
It was corrupt g code. Not sure of the cause, but I am now checking the code is complete before printing. For some reason, Cura has not been completing the save to "end of Gcode".

Thanks for the help
