Hey !prusa, maybe you can help me. I have a self-assembled Mk3s+ that I put together about a year ago, but never really used because of the following problem.

If I print on draft quality, it makes it through most prints. I've printed a dozen cubes, several brackets, and some other odds and ends.

If I try to print on higher detail settings, however, it behaves very strangely. Most often it'll just hang, and keep oozing out more plastic. Once in a while, the steppers will keep turning and ram the bed or print head against the ends of their tracks.

I've tried updating and downgrading the firmware, different SD cards, etc. to no avail. Support hasn't been much help either.

Any ideas?

Ended up talking to support and they replaced my mainboard. Works great now!
