Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
As per the title, I keep getting this notification repeatedly, maybe 4-5 times per print.
No idea why, everything appears ok, print completes fine.
Does anyone know the actual condition that occurs that cause this notification to fire off?
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
I always get that at the start of a print and funny enough, only on my Apple Watch. I'm assuming you are using PrusaConnect? There is an undocumented M-code (I forget which one) that notifies PrusaConnect that there is a "problem" which then sends out an alert your phone etc. Maybe there are spurious messages being sent out. I don't recall getting a multiple of these though.
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
Well I only use Prusa Link now (for sending to the printer), but these notifications are coming via Prusaconnect to my phone.
Bit annoying because I'm at the point where I just dismiss it without even looking now.
Its' a bit like a car alarm thats always going off, you wont bat an eyelid if someone were to actually break into the car.

If you are not using PrusaConnect then just go into Settings -> Network -> PrusaConnect and disable it. These spurious messages though are probably a bug in the firmware.

I wont get camera then though, will I?

Ah yes, there is that... The camera has it's own IP address so if you are not at home there maybe a way to monitor it remotely without PrusaConnect. I'm intrigued. I'll give it some thought.
Anyway that #@%*%& "buddy" camera never works for me anyway. As soon as the chamber gets above 50° the camera shuts down.

I noticed this quite often with my own setup, it's rather annoying. And makes the other notifications useless if you just tune them out due to excessive cries for attention 🙂
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
Exactly , this is my main fear that when it does actually require attention, I’ll probably just dismiss it out of hand.
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
This problem should have been addressed already, but what I can do is for anyone still having this issue, please DM me (do not reply to this thread) with your prusa connect account email address. I can then submit that to the connect developers and they can look at your account on the backend and see what the story is and what can be done to correct your issues.

Thanks, but I had it occur at about 4 times last night during the same print...I'll DM you my Prusa Connect email when I'm in my office later today.
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
I researched the problem a little and I think in some cases (not always) I came up with a reason why printers require your attention. You think you're locking printers in basements, garages and all sorts of sheds. Printers get bored, cold, lonely and complain and demand attention. Try locking your pet cat or dog in this way. It will also meow, bark or howl. In short, it will demand attention. But animal rights activists may come to you and demand a fine for animal cruelty. There is no such thing as a printer, because there are no rights activists for abused and lonely printers. So hurry up and run to your printer, stroke its print head, scratch it on the build plate, feed it some good filament and maybe it will stop being angry with you. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
P.S. The text was supposed to be published ten days ago, but I didn't have time.

Honestly it's like being married again ! 😂
On a serious note its such a vague message, obviously some condition/s trigger this notification, it would be very useful to the end user to have that information also, even if it was just a code that could be looked up.

You did not understand what the date was ten days ago? Just for you and other incomprehensible people: Ten days ago was APRIL 1! And that is where the whole discussion begins. But let's not argue about an April Fool's joke here.

You may have overlooked gb160's "On a serious note..." comment? He acknowledged the joking nature of your post first, then came back to the persisting issue of an unclear and distracting system message.
Next time, please take a deep breath and re-read the post you respond to before you hit "Add reply". Your posts do often come across as rather aggressive.
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
Okay. The next part just seemed to me like instead of that joke post I should be hunting for error messages that I don't have even though my printers are connected the same way (PrusaLink and PrusaConnect). That's why I responded this way. But let's not argue, I don't mean to argue.
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
I think is the door sensor.. which reacts on vibration.. just adust it to have more tolerance...it thinks the door is opened/ closed for part of a sec.?
RE: Repeated 'Printer requires your attention' notifications
Doubtful, I have it disabled.
I mean there could be a bug where although it’s disabled it’s still causing these notifications, but with such a vague notification with no details whatsoever , the cause is anyone’s guess.

🙂 Well: If you want to add a few extra ${Zeros} to the price, you could get one of those cameras that
NASA uses on the rocket launch pad to show the engine ignition from up close.
I am not sure why anyone or any company would put a cheap consumer grade toy camera inside a 3D
printer chamber, which is basically a bread oven.
The lower cost choice for keeping a camera cooler, is to put it just outside the chamber looking in.
Sort of like this type, that can hang right on the plastic front door:
