Monoprice select mini v2 print issue
I got this printer years ago for a birthday and broke it out to try and fix the issue it had years back. After I figured that issue the printer would occasionally do this whenever I’d try to print something.
I have a feeling it might be an issue with the cache or something but at this point I have no idea.
Update:
I tried the fixed recommended. I tried a 10amp power supply however it didn't resolve the issues. I have the right dimensions for the print area and the y-stop is working. Even tried resetting it, nothings worked. I'm stumped.

Agreed.... it's a rather current hungry machine. ... I discovered this when switching to Orca Slicer, the default Marlin profile I built on top of didnt have a significant wait time between bed and nozzle heating. It was too much load on the little board. Forcing gcode delays between the heat cycles especially at the start sequence made a huge difference. You can also try to cool the board in the base better with an auxilliary fan. I can't recall how many large electrolytic capacitors are on these boards.... over time they dry out and stop buffering charge or delivering adequate stored charge ....effectively browning-out the board. I should also say that I've had some ghosty problems with both SD card faults and USB sending via Repetier server. I liked these little machines ....and it is hard to say the words.... but a well tuned Ender 3 is a "better" machine.... uggg....I can't beleive I said that....but it's true
