What is the problem?
On Octoprint 1.3.12, my printer fails every ~second print because of communication issues.
OctoPrint introduced detection of endless resend requests in 1.3.12, but I'm not sure if it takes the firmware setting "ignore consecutive resend requests of the same line" into account. It looks like it doesn't and thus disconnects my printer, failing the print. Also, OctoPrint reacted to every resend request by sending the line again, seemingly ignoring the firmware setting again.
From the logs of a correctly resolved communication issue it looks like it takes a little above a half second before the printer acknowledges that the line was sent successfully. During this time, the resend request flood already triggered the new feature in 13.12, disconnecting the printer.
Note: Most resend requests get resolved in a few milliseconds, I'm not sure why occasionally it takes so long. Is it normal to have ~1000 resend requests over ~ 1.6 million lines or is that too high?
What did you already try to solve it?
Changing the power source of the raspberry, changing the data cable between raspberry and arduino.
Switching firmware detection between automatic and selecting the features manually.
Next i'm trying to downgrade to 1.3.11 and look if it prints normally (it did in the past).
Logs (octoprint.log
, serial.log
or output on terminal tab at a minimum, browser error console if UI issue ... no logs, no support!)
Here is an example communication issue which lead to a failed print:
