RE: USB error mid print
After months of working I finally got the USB error midprint after a day of printing today again. Yes, I did have Prusa Connect turned on - AND - the USB drive started filling up again.
So - I will have to clear up the USB drive and turning Prusa Connect off .... again. 🙁 But at least I was able to resume and therefore there is still hope that this print will make it.
So crossing fingers that the big update will address this. (I can see in Prusa Connect that a new update was coming in, but I am still hoping this print will make it).

Today I added some shielding to my LCD cable. Some copper tape wrapped around each of the 4 sections individually, starting a couple inches from either end. I would recommend some other option, or at least sending two of the sections in each direction, since the copper tape made the ribbon harder to bend and a bit thicker, it was difficult to get all the wires in the right place. For grounding I ran a wire from the shielding to the PE connector. At 5h the print was still going good, and it looks to be going good now at 7h, but I am remote now and it is hard to tell from this camera angle.
Either I didn't do the shielding right, or it isn't the (sole) cause of the USB issues, I just got a USB disconnect again today.

I did format my USB sticks (the Prusa ones) and only put the single bgcode file on it via PrusaLink - and so far I have a 3 day print without any error, and a 2 day print on the other one, also without an error.
I also reduced the travel accel and speeds roughly about 20% - otherwise I have lots of layer shifts. Idk but maybe that does something too here, as the cables are so close and the mainboard gets hot from the drivers.

I'm tired of it. So I am selling my 5 head. Such an expensive machine and as usual with Prusa, issues after issues after a rushed release.
3 day print, multiple USB errors.
And one toolhead crash at the typical upper right corner.

Did you try the latest alpha version (6.2)? It was stated that that would solve the issue.

I haven't printed anything in 2 weeks due to finishing my costume for Comic-Con, then attending and then building my XL enclosure (this weekend). Once I do the final step and check the belts, I'll be starting on next years costume parts and quite a few other projects. I'm on 6.1.3+7898 right now and will report back if I get any hangs.
