Printer constantly pauses with no obvious reason
Hello people. Since yesterday evening my VCore4 pauses every couple of minutes. At some point it manages to run normal for half an hour and then again pausing. Both filament sensors are disabled. I'm printing with T0 only currently.
Nothing shows in the console and I saw no Pause mentioning in Klippy.log exept in the inital paragraph with the macros. Any hint to where to search for the culprit? Could it be overheating or loose connection?

You can see the time in the console and the time of the screenshot. In the meantime, multiple pauses.
When mine did that it was drag in the filament path. I only caught it because I noticed the orange ring LED (normally green solid)would start flashing then it would pause with no errors or messages so I guess you would calll it the tangle detection. I’m sure I could change the macro to throw a message when tangle detection is triggered.
Yes, It was the tangle detection. No idea why it triggered, but I've tried the same print with sensors' cables uplugged and it finished just fine. Now with another roll and the sensors back on all is good. Lesson learned - tangle detection is on a separate pin from the filament detecion and is not turned off by switching off the sensors through the screen/mainsail menu.
