                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you by any chance have the USB thumb drive inserted in your MK4? It is just a suspicion of mine, but the USB port on the display and the USB port on the buddy port that is used to connect to OctoPrint perhaps conflict with each other. I only connect my USB drive to the MK4 for firmware updates and have it not inserted when I print with OctoPrint. The drive is not needed at all when printing via OctoPrint. I vaguely remember seeing that error some time in the early days with my MK4, but I am not sure if it was that same error.</p><p>I would suggest removing the USB drive from the MK4 and give it another try if it works that way for you.</p><p>About the file size I use with OctoPrint, see screenshot from today. I also have a similarly sized print currently running on my MK3S+ and I have printed files sized over 90 MB in the past with no problem.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/12/e20d0b81-bildschirmfoto-vom-2024-12-26-23-43-07.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-172806" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2024/12/e20d0b81-bildschirmfoto-vom-2024-12-26-23-43-07-600x500.png" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>Did any one of you try to print big file ( &gt;20Mbyte) using the OctoPrint and it work ?</p>
<p>all my tries was stop after few hour with  serial exception error  you can see the  full story in  a post that  i wrote and did not get any</p>
<p>response from this forum or the OP forum</p>
<p>MK4  Framework   6.1.3</p>
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I doubt I have printed a gcode file that large with Octoprint, but file size should not matter -- commands are sent to the printer one-by-one.  I have certainly printed 12+ hours-long prints, whereas the last failure was at 3hours 15 minutes. That's a relatively short time, and I routinely have prints longer that that which complete without any issues.</p>
<p>I found your logs on the Octoprint forum and reviewed them.  From the logs, the issue does not look like an Octoprint problem or Rpi power problem.  The error you are getting indicates a communication loss (i.e., either the printer stopped responding to Octoprint, or communication between the two was lost). </p>
<p>It *could* be a Prusa firmware fault, but I have not experienced this or seen anyone else report it.  What was the state of the MK4 screen after this happened?  Did it still show "serial printing"?  Was it responsive?  Was it still heating the bed and toolhead?  There have been (rare) overheating problems with the buddy board; particularly with long prints in an enclosure, a few folks have had it "red-screen" and spontaneously reboot.  </p>
<p>It *could* be a bad cable, poorly shielded cable, or loose cable connection. An easy test would be to replace the cable and try again.  </p>
<p>It *could* be some other process on the Pi interfering with comms.  Do you have anything other than Octoprint running on the Pi?</p>]]></content:encoded>
