I bought a centauri carbon 1 in nov 2025, it was printing ok until couple of days ago. Suddenly, prints started stopping mid way. Printer has absolutely no modifications. Here is what happens

  1. Lights turn off
  2. Heatbed reading shows 0 degrees Celsius.hotend is at printing temp. Hotend fan, chamber fan, chamber lights, all turn off.
  3. None of the controls on the screen respond anymore - can't set new hotbed temp, turn on fans.

If I power cycle, everything is responsive again. I can set heatbed temp and confirm it is heating. Set hotend temp, confirm it is heating up. Left it for 10-15 min updating the temp from time to time so that it doesn't reset/idle out on me.

As soon as I start a print, at some random height for any print (yes, it is not on same layer and tried on several different prints) issue however is consistent.

Troubleshooting:

  1. Power cycling doesn't help - consistently fails at different heights along the print.
  2. Powered down, unplugged the power cable for couple of hours, started back up, started printing fine for 5-6 hours and started failing again -power cycled after that.
  3. Factory reset - printed fine for couple of hours, started failing again - power cycled after that.
  4. Moved from orca to elegoo slicer, printed 2 pieces failed again.
  5. Left the printer on the "stuck state" overnight. No change in the morning - saw error 101 message.
  6. Checked online documentation, and opened the bottom panel, unseated and reseated the HBED cable on both ends. Unseated and reseated the prong cables - printed 1 piece and failed again.

Can't open logs, or check what is failing on the machine. Has anyone had this issue before? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
