randome print stops
Hi good people anyone else having random print stops ...... i am a lot of them my setup Raspberry pi 4 4GB rasbian os up to date Cura-mb-master-armhf-20200328 Geeetech A10
starts printing with no problems but randomly stops no errors on printer or raspberry pi
and ideas anyone??
Hi, sorry to hear you are having problems. I have never tried printing from Cura using USB (I guess that is what you are doing). Could you please zip up the ~/.local/share/cura/master/cura.log and attach to this issue so I can see if there are any errors there. Thanks.
Thank you for the reply first yes i am using it through USB and pi 4 has 2 USB 2 AND 2 USB 3 ports i have tried all of them with the same issue.... linux does not keep log files in the location you gave me logs under linux are normally in /var/logs i have looked in there and even done a search for cura.log i got no hits at all ???????
Thanks for the file. Unfortunately, it doesn't show any messages related to the USB failing so I can't say what is going wrong. Personally, I don't use Cura to drive the printer directly, I use Octoprint. I have a Pi 2 and a Pi 3 both driving printers that use Marlin and have no problems at all. So maybe the easiest solution is to switch to using Octoprint rather than Cura to drive the printer?
hi there mark i tried octoprint like you said printed ok first time round however started getting timeouts and the printer would just stop mid print this is a snippet of the console log

i am not sure if its the pi4 or the firmware in the printer so i am going to print directly from sd card on the printer see if i have any drop outs then
Hi, Sometimes I do have these kinds of issues when i run on different baudrate. So can you switch to different baudrates and try to print with Repetier host or Octoprint, try and see if that fixes the issue?
