pausing instead of z hop

Just got my A10 last week and it has a strange issue. when it should do a z hop the printer just pauses for a several seconds and makes a deep kinda thumping/thrumming sound before eventually resuming.

I'm running the standard 1.1.8 firmware. i tried changing to the most recent build of 2.0 but instead of pausing it just locks up and becomes unresponsive until restart so i reverted back to 1.1.8

i recorded a rather clumsy video, https://youtu.be/5AfZkt2pA8E but the noise seems to not have made it onto the recording.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

(apart from the video quality :P )

Hi, Does this happen when you print all the models?

Yes, it happens no matter the model being printed, just whether or not it has z hop enabled when sliced.

I tried the exact same model sliced without z hop and it had no problems printing.

I'm using Cura 4.1 for my slicer

Thanks jjjji, that's probably the issue. i'll try the solution i found and update if that fixes it :)
