Extruder stops extruding
Hi, I'm having problems with repetier firmware 0.92 (latest) wich I been having for some time (several months). The problem is that the printer stops extruding somewhere mid print (but continues printing and heating, just like dry-run, or when a heater is decopled). However, there is no mensaje in the lcd nor in the repetier host (the log shows the layer progress).
The printer won't extrude until restarted, and it could happen printing with repetier host or from sd-card and from different slicers. I'm pretty sure is related with repetier since both the motor and the driver have been replaced and another user in the reprap forums reported that switching to marlin fixed it.
Any way to get more info from repetier so there is something to start working on?
BTW, the printer is a delta

Ok, the next time it happens i'll test that and report back. I'll also redo the last failed print to see it they fail at the same time (i allways tied to resume those prints, so i haven't tried reprinting the failed print)
I enabled and disabled dry run while the printer continued painting mid air.
How can I check what is triggering dry run? The log is "clean" it only shows a checksum error at the first layers (and the printer continued painting normally) and BLK 5 (I know it means that the path planner was late for generating a stepper signal, but not the exact meaning of the 5). Could this be related? Unfortunately, I haven't recompiled the firmware yet so no additional debug info
The problem I'm having is that the printer enters dry run mode but there is no error mensaje, not even the mensaje you have when entering dry run mode manually, so I have no clue why is this happening, and it only happens with large prints (longer than 4 hours) but can happen early in the print (as soon as 10 minutes) but I never experienced those problems with shorter prints.
