Machine Stops Carving. HELP!?

I have used this machine solid every day for 3 years without any problems at all , the router and x controller are on the same circuit I did run a few air passes but all got to the same point and said the cut had finished then returned home I have also had it where they run for say 20 mins then just stops while the router runs on and says connection is lost

Might also be worth checking the PC Power Management for the USB-ports, if it halt after a certain amount of time it may be the USB-port that is put to sleep.

Or if a certain carve halt at the same point may indicate faulty gcode.

I found this thread and have the same question.

For the last couple of months or so, if I am carving a 3d carving prepared in V-carve desktop and adjust the carving speed with the + - controls at the top of the Easel interface, the carve continues for a little while and then stops. It’s definitely a “software” stop, with no indication of overheat or stall. I usually managed to get through the carve, but quite honestly, don’t remember what I did to “fix” the problem.

Today, it happened. I reset and tried again without changing the speed. Again, it carved for a while, but then stops without any error shown.

I then reloaded the gcode file into a new easel project and it is now merrily carving away, well past the points it previously quit.

Would changing the speed with the + - control cause this problem? would it change the project file?

In the meantime, I won’t be using the + - keys!

USB interference.
Have you checked your Dewalt brushes for wear?
Do you run at speed 1?
