RE:
you are really funny. 🤣 Your post just amused me a lot. Thank you for it. 🤩 🤣 🤣
not half a dozen for sure ;). And reconnect also solved the problem for me for the time being. It remains to be seen whether it will really go away for those who have the mod. it does indeed take a long time for the error to reappear. Sometimes up to 100+ printing hours. And I don't think anyone has been using the mod for that long
Interesting though that they write that the plug is held too tight and not that it is too loose. This means that the plug mod would have exactly the opposite effect.

You were faster. xD
Thanks!The long-promised FW has finally arrived and the error has also been mentioned.
An apology is also included. I didn't expect that.
I'm not sure, but there half a dozen on the forum so far that this plug mod has completely solved their issue.
The plug being tight is probably the fit between the dwarf case and the plug cover maybe not allowing it to plug in all the way, thus leading to a poor connection.
Not half a dozen..... There's 6 people in this thread on the last 2 pages... And the other thread your posting on had at least 2 that I can think of without even going back to look.
You do realize there are multiple different threads on this and your posting on 2 of them, so the number is probably much more than that
I'm not sure where your skepticism comes from, or if it's intentional, but you appear to enjoy casting doubt and negativity.
I guess do whatever brings you enjoyment, but it doesn't help the situation at all.
Good luck.
RE: Xl extruder stops
So about 20 hours of printing to another fail. this time it didn't dock #2 correctly. Not sure what's to blame. Tomorrow will be spent with a doctors appontment. I'm ready to remove the plugs altogether and just solder and heatshrink the cables. I'm sure it would void the warranty though. This is utterly ridiculous. It seems like a bottomless pit...

Have you greased the dock pins? Prusa recommends you do so. I'd also check to make sure your docks are tight. Try and wiggle your dock. It should not move at all. If it does you need to tighten the screw at the back. I recommend removing the metal mesh plate to get better access. It comes of easy. I'd also recommend some thread locker on the screws.
After this rerun the dock calibration.
I happen to be checking my printer statistics tonight and I have over 2,000 changes on dock 5. It has never missed once. That's the one I usually put support material on hence the reason it has the most changes but all of my other docks have more than 500 changes, again its never missed
I think prusa should offer a fully assembled XL. And I mean fully assembled currently you still have to install the docs yourself even if you buy it fully assembled which I think has led to many problems for people. I'm not saying this is the case with you but being things like tightening the docks being finicky there should be the option to purchase it already completed.
Anyway check that out and let us know. Plus look at the positive side at least it didn't stop extruding.
I've been printing some pretty big prints over the past two weeks each one more than 20 hours and I've not had one failure.
