Prusa Link / Connect weirdness  

Prusa Link / Connect weirdness

Running a large farm and started with Prusa Connect . The overall experience so far has been phenomenal and I absolutely love how the integration and controls work and interface with the machines . Currently using Pi4 4gb boards with 32gb storage . So far we have 7 MK3S+ and 1 MK4 setup . The MK3 machines are issuing wireless and the MK4 I have hardwired . I’m really hoping Prusa puts a lot of development resources behind this project to expand it and really improve the platform. Here’s a few things to note that I have experienced over the last several weeks with the setup . 

1) the MK4 has very very slow upload speeds to the machine . We are running the latest firmware on the machine and we are direct hardwire connected with Cat 6 cable through a Ubiquity Gigabit network switch . 

2) Prusaslicer throws a weird error when uploading to the MK4 saying “ HTTP communication error upload failed “ BUT it does upload and it does start printing 

3) the MK3 machines will upload and print no problem most of the time , it seems after a few prints the Pi board needs to be reset becuase it looses communication to the printer . Even though the printer displays Prusalink OK and when you test communication in the slicer it successfully connects . When you try to print it fails with a communication error . Reset the board and then it’ll work like normal for a days .
