What is the problem?
I have an Anycubic Kobra NEO, that I have been using over more than 6 months with OctoPrint with close to no major issues until now. I tried several times to print a somewhat large print with only 1cm or so left from the edges of the build plate. The print starts normally and randomly stops in one place keeping the extruder and build plate ON at the set temperature for the printing but the head does not move, which is a HUGE fire hazard and there fore I can't rely on that printer printing with OctoPrint through the night, and printing large objects is impossible that way.
The print stops very randomly, one time it can print 6 layers with no issues and then freeze. Other times freezes half way through the first layer of the same print. I was stubborn and kept trying to print the object several times.
The printer is connected through a UPS to the main grid and on that main power line the only other thing is a refrigerator, but it is not connected through the UPS. And this is months of printing like that with no issues.
The error that OctoPrint gives me is:

Apparently the OctoPrint log has been erased since there were a couple of days since I last had the chance to fiddle with the printer So I can't provide the log but in general it said "...an error occurred sending M112 disconnect due to error..."
What did you already try to solve it?
I updated OctoPrint from 1.9.0 to 1.9.2
I updated the firmware on the printer itself to version 1.3.3 from 1.2.8
I tried running the print in safe mode
Updated the slicer Ultimaker Cura from 5.2.2 to 5.4.0 and sliced the model again
Have you tried running in safe mode?
Yes, the same problem occurred
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?
No
