Sparkx i7 stops mid print but says complete.

Sparkx i7

Happens semi regularly, 1 in every 5 prints. Somewhere midway through a print the printer head just stops moving. Still hot, fans still on, and the nozzle is still in contact with print, but it’s not moving and the display says print complete. I have to go to settings and send it to home before I can remove the print and power cycle the printer in order to print again. Then the next print usually completes fine. No errors. Just a confused printer that thinks it’s done while stuck mid print.

Usually happens near the end of the print, during the last few layers.

I don’t know what issues you might be having—it could be anything—but I recommend that all Sparkx i7 users check all the printer’s screws. It is especially important to thoroughly check the screws on the X-axis guide rail (mine were loose when I checked them after two weeks), as well as the ones at the back that connect to the Z-axis (those where WAY too loose on the right side when i saw them i freak out like WTF).
