I have just had two prints stop at the same layer, along with another that failed in a similar manner. In each case the print had simply stopped, but commnuncation seemed to be intact as I was able to disconnect and then reconnect - althogh without being able to resume the print. It was possible to home the printer, so motor control was O.K.
Further details: Rostock printer with Arduino Mega 2650 and Ramps 1.4, Repetier firmware and Repetier host 0.90C using Slic3r. This printer has never suffered from the uSB related communication issue which I got quite familiar with on my Prusa with Generation 6 electronics.
Both prints stopped at layer 91 of 299. For full disclosure: Slicing gave reports of a hole and intersecting facets, even though Netfabb cloud, Netfabb Studio and sthe Fix STL on Slic3r had been used to try to fix the files. The print that failed in a similar manner was a near mirror image of the pair, but gave no reports of problems during slicing.
Any thoughts, clues or places to look?
