Post Moving but not drawing

First of all... Love the machine!

Build it using an Mega I had lying around, ordered the motorshield and printed some parts.

I've printed some pictures with a nice result. But for some reason it stopped, it will move to the location of the pixels but it doesn't draw the pixel itself?

And when printing vectors only the servo goes up and down.

Tried to restart a few times with no result.

I'm probably doing something wrong aren't I?

Regards

Peter

While the machine is running, but not drawing as it should, hit cntrl-c to open the console. It might be sending useful messages.

This problem sounds familiar, but I can't remember the solution. Maybe Sandy will know the answer off the top of his head, but it's good to know about the console anyway, so if other problems arise....

Don't exactly know what i did to make it work again, but i think it had something to do with testing the pen width and sending it to the machine.
