Dear people,
I would like to find out the solution to a problem I'm unable to solve with my Ender 3. I'm in a hurry to make my printer work, due to the coronavirus hospitals are asking for 3d prints of masks and mechanical pieces for breather machines and I would like to keep going on as soon as possible. After printing several models without any trouble, for no reason at all, while developing another model exactly the same as the done before failed in the way I write you here. The machine starts working perfectly, but by the way the project is printed, it increasingly looses power. The fan below the printing platform didn't work at any time. All elements loose power, all motors, including the extruder, and lacks power progressively until it definetly stucks. Then I'm even unable to activate the screen. I have mounted and built again the machine, doesn't seem a problem of the motors. The electric boxes are clean and theoretically in order (except by the fan I tell you about before). I the trials before submitting the model happened the same: at first everything works fine, but by the time the mototrs are increasingly turning slower with weird noises. I changed the SD card and still have the problem. I assume it may be related to the PSU but I opened it and it seemed everything fine, lights and fan worked properlly. The voltage is correct and I have not done any change from were the machine works properlly, neither technicall neither of the configuration.
I bought the printer year a half ago but I've been using it very punctually.
Thanks for your help,
Regards from Barcelona, Jordi Damià.
