This just happened for a second time… I’m running octoprint on a windows desktop computer that lives next to the printer (no raspberry pi for me yet).
Twice now, it has disconnected mid-print. The printer and PC are both online and physically connected. Disconnecting and reconnecting in octoprint works, and I have been manually checking the last gcode sent successfully in the terminal and copying the remaining code out of the file from there and printing that - it works but if it has been disconnected for a while before I notice, the spot where the extruder was sitting gets a little melty and there are some artifacts in the print.
Is there any octoprint plug in that can automate this process so I don’t have to manually edit the gcode? Or any tips on preventing disconnects?
I’m pretty new to this whole world of 3d printing and even newer to octoprint so I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks!
Octoprint is a software to manage a printer running marlin firmware.
Klipper is a different printer firmware, and is not something you can use to manage a printer running marlin.
I do want to look at flashing klipper to my sv06 someday but right now I’m just trying to print stuff without manually moving an SD card every time.
I used Octoprint for a few years before switching to Klipper. Octoprint was good but Klipper was like discovering that you can fly.
Are you using mainsail to interface with the printer? That is what I have seen most people recommend for klipper printers
