Watchdog reset on every print

Hi there, 

I got my Prusa Mini today and after calibration started a few test prints. I started the prusa logo as recommended and half way in the print the screen showed "Watchdog reset" - nothing else. After trying again, I was able to print the logo adn started a 1:30 test print. Unfortunately that print was interrupted by Watchdog reset after about 50% of the print.

That's pretty annoying... any ideas how I can fix that?

I was in touch with customer support and they told me to preheat to PLA temp and then wiggle the cables to check if the error occurs (due to loose/faulty cables). Done that, no error. I then started a print (the screw, from the usb stick I got) and it was printing perfectly for the first hour or so. Then again: watchdog reset.

This is very frustrating, I really hope for a quick fix. 

 

thx

Sven

Me too. I tried reslicing, wiggling cables, reflashing FW, recalibration. Can't get through a print, no matter what it is.

Are you printing from the supplied usb stick? I was having the same issue and saw that the usb was really warm to touch. After trying one of my own usb sticks the error did not return.

I just finished putting my printer together and I am getting the same problem with every test print I have tried

After trying many things, it was that POS thumb drive Prusa sent with the mini. Any other thumb drive works fine, I don't see the issue.

Got my mini today and had the same issue, it turn out to also be the POS thumb drive. Thing was pretty hot to the touch.

I must be the only one who's not having trouble with the Prusa provided USB Stick.

My original supplied USB stick got very hot after seconds and was defective after 2 weeks of moderate use. I replaced the stick with a noname product, which still works today. I think that this problem is very widespread. Apparently there was once a bad batch delivered.

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

I'm going to +1 this, the thumb drive that came with my Mini died pretty quickly, I use a SanDisk now to update the firmware and OctoPrint to send prints to the printer.

Prusa I3 Mk2 kit upgraded to Mk2.5s, Ender3 with many mods, Prusa Mini kit with Bondtech heat break, Prusa I3 Mk3s+ kit

Had the same problem on my Mini, but I use USB extension cord so my thumb drive is not directly plugged in and never got hot.

I ended up replacing hotbed thermistor and since I had a single error in over two hundred hours of printing.
