RE: USB error mid print
@peter-larsen
Good to see that there is an improvement. Though my question is that if it was a hardware issue , noise sensitivity etc why didn't most of us have this issue with the 5.* firmware? Also as @jan-kratochvil stated above they found the possible culprit and they are working towards a solution. But to be honest im also curious if at the end a ferrite choke is the "proper" remedy to a buggy hardware design and better that software based workarounds.
RE: USB error mid print
Hi Would you have a link for the model / type of ferrite choke you used?

RE: USB error mid print
Hi,
did two separate test:
1. Cooling: active cooling of electronics in the back. First run with fans switched of second with fans running. Guess what. Both failed
2. Ferrite: Unlike every Test before, print stoped but I was able to choose proceed and it did so. How ether not very long. This time stopping without any massage and I was not able to proceed.
might a second ferret close to the control panel would be a test worth?
RE: USB error mid print
I have ended my tests, and i have now a 3k big paperweight. I can say that are not the answer:
- Back cover fan (It is recommended even it is not solution).
- Firmware 6.0.2
- New usb Cable
- New LCD/board
- New Pendrive
- Direct usb file copy (without prusalink/connect)
RE: USB error mid print
I have not had any new USB issues since I upgraded firmware long ago. I do connect my USB stick using a USB extension cable, but that's really just for convenience of plugging in the USB stick without having to bend over to reach the printer. I'm on 6.0.2 now.
I have noticed that the USB stick gets quite hot, even when I'm not using/printing anything. It's as if the XL is actively engaging / polling the USB stick even when it's idle? I wonder if this might shorten the lifetime of the drive ... maybe I'll try to keep it unplugged from now on.
RE: USB error mid print
Has anyone had success with the new 6.0.3 firmware? I just ran a successful print overnight after updating.
RE: USB error mid print
So far I haven't had any issues with 6.0.3 and have had about 3 successful prints. But still a little too soon to tell I think.
RE: USB error mid print
Spoke too soon. Got the same error on 6.03. Luckily, keeping the sliced file open on my computer and replacing it in the USB worked.
RE:
Today i got to experience this issue again myself half way through a 16 hour print. On the newest firmware, 6.0.3, with an MMU3 print.
This is great, considering that the new firmware promised to make this issue easier to circumvent! Unfortunately, no matter what i tried, the "continue" button did not work but just lead to the same issue again. Replacing the file from my computer also didn't work. I had no issues like this since a few months. And a friend of mine is now also experiencing USB issues since upgtrading to the 6.0.3 firmware, and she never did before. So this update made it worse, seemingly?
Meanwhile, due to "too little" activity, the related issue on GitHub was closed by stalebot. Awesome. Thanks!
