What is the problem?
Consistently Octopi will allow me to print for 40-50mins with no failure. RPi temp would be around 58-60C. 20mins into the next print, printer will stall.
What did you already try to solve it?
-
Tried two (2) RPis 3 B
-
Tried three (3) different power supplies. Links below:
First one because I have this lying around. Description says each USB port provides 2.4A
Second, bought this adapter that's rated at 3A. Tested on a RPi 3 using Retroarch and lightning bolt didn't show
Still tried isolating if it's a power issue, I tried a third power adapter bought from Microcenter.
https://www.microcenter.com/product/465196/51v-3a-power-supply-for-raspberry-pi-zero,-zero-w,-2---3-with-built-in-4ft-micro-usb-cable
All power supplies will produce the same behavior described above.
-
Thinking it could be due to overheating, I added a heat sink to the RPi. Checked several logs and didn't find any text that says "overheating" or "throttled"
-
Updated the RPi firmware doing the following commands:
sudo rpi-update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -
Increased the timeout settings as described in this post:
https://discourse.octoprint.org/t/i-see-a-lot-of-communication-timeout-messages-in-the-log/218
Before I give up, I thought maybe asking the community first. I kinda liked already the convenience that Octoprint provides but with numerous failed prints and trying out several solutions, still no luck.
