I hesitate to answer this question because I have become somewhat
superstitious about the behavior of my SLS machine.
There just seems to be no discernable pattern as to when it's going to
stall or why. It can go for a LONG time without any problem, then it
can pop up for a while and go away just as quickly.
It seems like if I tell someone that the machine has been running well
for a long time without a stall, there's a jinx or a hex or something
that makes it stall within the next week.
Like I said . . . it has caused me to become superstitious.
