OctoPrint Low Voltage warning.

I have the power and serial connection running off the headers on the PI to the jumpers on the Einsey Board and this has been working fine for quite a while. However recently I started getting low voltage warnings when I start a print. I upgraded the power supply to the MeanWell. I didn't expect that to fix the issue and it didn't.

Would anyone mind sharing a resolution? I know I can just run the PI on a dedicated transformer but I'd like keep external power connections to a minimum. Maybe recommend a buck converter?

Thanks!

RE: OctoPrint Low Voltage warning.

to ensure proper function, i would use an ext. power supply with an output power of at least 12.5 watt for the pi.

RE: OctoPrint Low Voltage warning.

I use a secondary power supply as that was the recommendation of the folks who made my enclosure. I've since read that taking power off the PSU for the printer itself isn't recommended.

Here's the power supply I use: https://www.printables.com/model/441095-mean-well-rs-75-power-switch-enclosure
