Any chance your raspberry pi (assuming you’re using a Pi) is overheating or showing under voltage warnings (both should be showing up in OctoPrint’s UI)? Also, have you tried swapping the USB cable just in case it happens to have an issue?
I don’t know what exactly would be causing your issue, but I’m using the firmware from around that time and have been printing literally everything via OctoPrint on a Pi 3 connected to it. I haven’t had any of those issues. The only issue I’ve ever experienced is if I pause & resume a print via OctoPrint’s UI, there is a chance the printer starts going into slow motion. I’ve seen that on other printers as well though, so that isn’t unique to the SV06. That’s the only issue I’ve personally hit with OctoPrint on my SV06 after maybe a hundred or so prints.
dont know if this could help, but you can try fixing the auto-homing parameters first:
its the “advanced conf->TMC Drivers->sensorless homing” or smth, and set both to 68 (1 of them is 65 for some reason and then it starts to bang and grind the x-axis at every launch)
Update:
Bought an usb powerblocker as someone suggested it’s back powering the printer.
And now, it’s no longer doing odd things and is working well. BTW I’m using Octpi for Android on an older phone and it’s working well with both printing and timelapse.
Thank you all for the suggestions looks like we’re good.
Current Mods:
Z-axis rods stabilization with bearings
Washers under bed supports to level out the right side of bed that was too low
Filament wrangler
TPU Feet on a fatigue mat to isolate vibration
Cable chain for XY to keep it from scraping on bed
After these updates and a little tweaking of Cura settings I get reliable and beautiful PLA prints at 65mm/s and if external surface quality isn’t needed - 100mm/s. However, 100mm/s it looks like a 1970’s economy car going over a pothole infested road at 60mph. I don’t want it to shake itself apart, therefore I keep it at 65mm/s and under.
I’m using the default settings. I did end up getting a powerblocker USB adapter so the phone wouldnt power the sv06 board. Much more stable afterwards. I’ll check to see if there is a thing else I can find that may help.
My powerblocker is on it’s way, for now i tried taping the 5V pin with electricians tape.
I will also try reinstalling octo4a, perhaps something went wrong there.
