I am new to 3D printing and am trying to get started with a FlashForge Finder. Unfortunately, the printer keeps shutting off mid print, and I am unable to find a cause. Here's what I have tried thus far: 

  • System Settings
    • Factory Reset - When I attempt a factory reset, nothing happens (the menu closes, but usage stats & wifi do not get reset) 
    • Firmware Update - Updating the firmware from the touchscreen immediately fails every time
  • Printing
    • I can start a new print, but the machine turns off after about ~10-15 minutes at temperature
    • The transformer on the power cable remains lit green even after the machine fails and turns off
    • I have tried printing multiple files from Thingiverse with no edits (an elephant and an owl)
    • Temperature is set to 220 °C
  • Observations
    • One of the times that the print failed, I noticed that the temperature had dropped to ~204 °C prior to failing. I don't know if that's normal behavior or not

Try unplugging the USB lead as soon as the printer starts to print (I had similar issue and this worked for me).
