What is the problem?
The printer keeps halting mid print. I am noticing that there are randomly missing OK responses, and as such sending the manual ok can fix the print for between 1 layer and 2 layers. I am also noticing random "Recv: o-áok" sometimes, but I am unsure if this is the issue.
What did you already try to solve it?
Switching BAUD rates and usb ports.

Hello @martonbaksa!
In the serial.log, from 20:50:13 on, transmission issues occur (character garbage, checksum errors).
Similar on the octoprint.log on other timestamps.
This can be caused by RFI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference) from ACs, and other power electric devices (fridges, drills etc).
You may check for a high quality USB cable as short as possible. Using a different power outlet.

Hi!
Thank you for the information. I can't believe that I didn't think about that, I have realized that I was running the USB cable (internally) over one of the stepper motors. I believe that would most likely be causing our issues because of the electromagnetic fields they can generate. I will try to find a cable with the ferule on it, and route the USB cable around the stepper motor, and if that doesn't work I will write you back.
thank you!

Hi @Ewald_Ikemann,
I don't seem to have noticed much change. I have also added copper tape around the USB for additional shielding, but this seems to have little effect. Is there anything else that this issue could be?
Best,
M
