Printer stopped after retract

Posts: 27Member
Hello, colleagues,
Someone else faced out with strange behaviour of printer?:
After each retract it has stopped to approx 10 sec. No any message, errors on display. After printing resumed by usual way. But when nozzle freezed, come material blow out and surface become is not good.
The models w/o retract printed OK.
This behavior is not depend from temperature, length of retract or speed. It seems, that these stop occured after i update my slicer cura to release 4.1.0. But at the same period i make reassembling of Z-X-axis system (new bearings was installed), so i am not sure about root cause.

- Double check all wires and connections are tight, including motors and sensors.
- Try to format the USB, or try another USB stick, and try to print again.
- Try to print via USB cable via pronterface, and see if the problem is the same.
- Do you have the same problem with the sample gcode files that were provided by jgaurora on the original USB stick?
- Please also upload the gcode file here that is causing the issue.
Please let us know how you goIn this case, the cause was communication disruption between LCD module and motherboard due to a loose motor wire.
Thanks for your comments.
I have done some your recommendations. Results at this moment:
1. Model was sliced in cura 4.1.0:
- USB stick was changed for other one. Stops occured;
- Print was started from PC (from Cura monitor). Stops occured in the same places. No errors/messages in serial monitor;
- Print was started from PC (Pronterface). Stops occured in the same places. No errors/messages in serial monitor;
2. Model was sliced in Simplify3D 4.1.0:
- Print was started from PC(from Simplify3D). No any stops.
- Print was started from USB stick. No any stops.
No abnormal extra values in gcode anymore.
But 100 mm/s for Z axis seems veru much, isn't it?
