Basic Information: Printer Model: Ender 3 Pro, Highly Modified MCU / Printerboard: SKR Mini E3 V3.0 PSU: Mean Well LRS-350-24 Files: [printer.cfg](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/jD9BT4hS3Zra8PkGOT7SkYb3B4S.cfg) (14.7 KB) [klippy(1).log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/ktA8eaOyCw2ndDNypYiGMiqMaAp.log) (3.6 MB) Host / SBC: BTT Pi V1.2 klippy.log attached _Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ Describe your issue: Hello All! I am running into a weird issue. My printer keeps pausing as soon as my printer starts to actually print. I am not sure why, everything seems to be working, but I am not getting errors, minus the communication error at the end. I did rearrange some wires in the electronics box, but I doubt that is causing issues. Please let me know what information you might need. Thanks in advance! ---

Hello @Soren.R ! The extruder temp is quite fluctuating and Klipper waits for it to settle. Have you already run a PID-Tune? [https://www.klipper3d.org/Config\_checks.html?h=pid#calibrate-pid-settings](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_checks.html?h=pid#calibrate-pid-settings) ---

I will do that real quick. Thank you for your feedback! ---

So I calibrated the extender and was able to print a test print multiple times with no issue, but a different file is pausing it. Nothing changed between the slicing of the files, not getting any errors, or seeing much in the log. Attached are the 2 g-code files in question. First Layer Calibration works fine, Bottom does not.

A question for clarification: - The printer pauses - and works on alter or - The printer cancels/halts/stops/aborts the print ---

It is pausing. I am able to click resume, and it works for a second or two, then pauses again. ---

Okay, it’s a hardware issue. I unplugged the screen and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for your help! Silly thing haha ---
