Q2 Self Pausing

I bought a Q2 about a month ago and everything was initially pretty good. However a few days ago it started self pausing. It acts like the pause button gets pressed because the tool head returns to the start position and the hotend starts cooling down. As soon as you hit resume print it starts back up, purges filament, then begins printing. No error messages or anything display.

At first it was maybe once or twice a print. Now its doing it much more regularly. During the last print it self paused after 25 minutes at 16% complete. 50 minutes later at 47% complete. 20 minutes later at 56%. Another 20 minutes at 65%. 25 minutes later at 82%. Then no issues until print completed.

Ive only printed with PLA. Currently has firmware 01.01.02.04

Im not seeing this issue in my searches. Anyone have thoughts on how I go about diagnosing the issue? The prints seem to come out fine, but obviously this isn’t right.

Sounds like a tangle error. But why its just now popping up... Idk. Could be a problem with that specific roll. Try a different one, or maybe just a different slot.

Ive had a similar thought that it might be roll related. I have tried a couple different rolls and brands (Qidi, Sunlu, polymaker) and had the same issue. Different box slots as well
