Hello, I have an k8200 connected to the pc with a usb cable, the default one.
I was having heavy disconnections problems while printing, so i decide to try to plug the printer to a different power cord on the AC plug.
Doing this I have improoved the stability and for many hours never disconnected me anymore, until 40 min ago were for a disconnection I screw up a 3d print and waste filament and time.
Honestly I really dont know what to think.
I was thinking if a very rapid electricity fault can cause the printer to suddenly disconnect to the repetier…
Before to buy a UPS that should regolarize the volts input and spend 50 bucks I want to be sure that this can be the problem.
Any suggestions by the expert user that write in this forum?
Thx in advance

Yep!
Such disconnections are mainly caused by mains power noise.
Can it be you switched some Fluorescent lighting near the printer?
Switching those lighting tubes often causes such trouble.
