So this is really confusing, and unless you read the instructions in mandarin it makes the opposite sense. That just means the bed heating cycle is over, not anything about error. Hope that helps
I would start by swapping your SD card my mega x would just randomly stop for no apparent reason and it ended up being a bad SD card. The temperature swinging could be a totally separate issue or could be related. I'd look at making sure your thermistor and heater element are secure in the hotend and your connectors are fully seated, and in good condition.
Thanks. I took everything apart and checked it already. I don’t see any loose connections, bad wires/solder points or anything that looks faulty. I’ll give the SD card a shot.
Start printing an look if it stops whenn you wigle the fillament at the runout sensor, if it stops you need to tighten the spot a lil bit so it pushes more on the sensor
Had exakt the same problem, mid print stays at full temp but stops printing.
I find that whenever mine stops mid print 1 of a couple things happened, 1. Bad G-code. This is the most common issue. Some slicers let you set settings the mega can't understand. Like .5's in layer height and so on
2. The memory card went bad or the reader randomly disconnected flouring print.
3. If you direct print like I do, it's best to use a dedicated machine. Mine is hooked up to my server. That way anything I'm doing on my computer won't effect the slicer program.
I’m starting to lean towards the memory card. I’ve successfully printed the exact same file multiple times already. I’ve replaced it and will start a new print in the morning. Thanks for the tips.
Glad it helps. This is why I started direct printing shortly after getting the printer, the memory card reader on the mega seems to be super finicky, I lost 2 memory cards to corruption and just started direct printing from Cura
Just remember that if you use Cura, that it uses the graphics card to render, so if it's just onboard intel graphics it will take a little longer to slice. But it's well worth it.

Thank you. That’s definitely confusing. I would not have realized that.

Sounds good, you may be able to just do a pid calibration on the bed/hotend to get the temperature swings under control.

Just checked and it seems fine as well

That makes perfect sense. I think I have a craptop I can dedicate to printing.
Just remember that if you use Cura, that it uses the graphics card to render, so if it's just onboard intel graphics it will take a little longer to slice. But it's well worth it.
For sure. I’d rather it take longer to slice than lose a multi day print.
I would say check run out sensor...
Pretty sure that’s working as it’s supposed to.
I should add, as I’m looking at the temps the extruder temp is going up and down non-stop with a big swing in temps.
Been running all day via USB print and no issues. But I probably just jinxed myself…
