Anyone know any ways around this?. I had to print a new spool holder and filament guide to use the cd-writer 1kg spools these are...

Re: UP! Crashes ?
Good news my supplier is sending me a CPU.
Last night I tried another print ( my third since the last crash ) and this time very near the end of the print
The table lowered a few inches and then continued to extrude in mid air until I reset the machine
my machine is crazy
