Hi,
I have finished my new printer. And it worked the first print (see youtube link below)
I still have some issues with interference on the cables towards the endstop signal but once printing that shouldn't matter(?).
Problem is that every print after this first one just stops randomly and after every stop I have to reboot the connected laptop before I can reconnect with Ramps. In Pronterface I get a 'Com9 :[Error 2]'.
The stop can happen anywhere during print. But so far every print I tried stopped eventually.
I can still access the ramps board with the connected lcd panel and move motors etc.
I have tried using a shorter and shielded usb cable to connect the laptop but that did not help.
I am wondering if the interference I am experiencing with the endstops could be related to the connection loss.
But before I am going to rewire everything I hope to get some new insight I can use doing that.
Is it even possible for an endstop error to shut down the usb connection and halt the print?
This is the printer I am hoping to fix

(its 8 times the original speed)
Thanks for any advice!

NB the SDcard was also not working correctly (from the beginning) so for now I have disconnected it and shut it down in the arduino code. I'll have to order a replacement.
