Prusa Slicer Crashing  

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Well your project slices on my windows pc.  It takes awhile to generate the gcode (around 5 minutes) and then it seems to pause and be non responsive for about another 3-5 minutes while it generates the preview layers/colour coded preview.  It doesn't actually crash my pc though.

I will say that the choice of gyroid for infill is one of the worst you could make for large models.  It uses way more memory and its bigger too as the infill is constantly changing direction.  Using Cubic works out much much quicker to process and the infill is just as strong as gyroid.  Basically unless it for aesthetic reasons I avoid gyroid.

Also you have Avoid Cross perimeters enabled which is apparently very memory intensive.  On something like this that asking to slow things way down.

Also I hope you weren't planning on printing the project like that if you could slice it ?  It would result in one big mess of plastic.  Parts are not orientated in the best angles for printing and there is zero support.  Its just asking for a Blob of doom.

I do think PS has some form of memory issue though, as even now its sliced it stutters when I try and rotate the sliced preview, its jerky in response to mouse movements.  I mean I don't have the fastest machine but even so its was new last year and it doesn't have these issues with other software.  It should be able to rotate the preview around.  Glad I dont have a bed size that big (300x300 is my max).

See if this project will slice for you ?

I installed the latest PS 2.3.0 and ran your .3mf.

Calculation time approx. 1 minute 50 seconds. Here the gcode:

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

gave it some thought and decided to remove amdgpu.dcfeaturemask=2 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff from my kernel parameters

(allowed memory down clocking with multi displays) it seems something must be going wrong with the slicer when the memory is idling under 100mhz

now instead of GPU crashing the slicing program just segfaults

attached log

@mastercatz

You need to post any errors to the github site really.  I know there are a few currently active for linux systems and segfaults.

@karl-herbert I was interested to see if @mastercatz could slice it successfully on his system with the changed infill type to cubic rather than gyroid and with avoid cross perimeters off .  On mine is generates it in a little over a minute too but seeing as mine doesn't have an issue at the moment and will slice it with gyroid (even if slow) its not very useful.

@neophyl

same issue with your settings 

it is more of a quick part dump on plate to work out how many metres it was going to use 

looks like I will have to use virtualbox for slicing for now 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

All I  did was Disable Nvida Drivers in Device Manager then tried opening PursaSlicer again.

It again crashed PursaSlicer after I did this.

Then I re-enabled the Nvida drivers in Device Manager, opened PursaSlicer and this time everything worked perfectly. Driver Glitch maybe? 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

None of the above solutions have been successful for me. The software functions stably only when operating in "Windows 11 efficiency mode" (Intel i7-13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090)

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Oh god THANK YOU!

For 5 days straight I was having the same crashes,

my slicer would always crash on some models, I am running on i9-14900k overclocked, 64GB RAM, RTX3080 and I noticed huge amount of power draw at peak ~300w during slicing and then ending in a crash of prusaslicer NOT windows,

So for a test I enabled Eficiency mode (green leaf) for PrusaSlicer from the task manager and VOILA! no more crashes...

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

As a follow up,

I am running on an i9-14900K and I was having headaches with the slicer crashing at 80% of the times!

I just want to say that the latest intel 0x129 microcode patch fixed all the stability issues for me, no longer needed to run the prusa slicer on specific affinity or eco mode.

Update your Bios guys!

Thanks! I was having the same problem slicing a larger file and having the app crash or the entire PC lock. Updated the BIOS with microcode fix and it's seems to be resolved.

For context this is the first large print since upgrading to an i7 14700k

Enabling efficiency mode seems like a good workaround if your MOBO manufacturer hasn't released the patches yet. It'll avoid putting too much power through the chip which causes the crash & damages the CPU.
