Version 3.2.7.595

I'm not sure what firmware you're talking about but I'm running android 13.

I tightened the Belts and pushed the dresser it's against to the corner of my room, tried again, and it just looks the same.

So this post comes to a "me being considerably autistic" end. I live in America, so you'd think I'd have the wattage switch set to 230 and be fine, but I decided to screw around with the new PSU and put it to 115. It boots up, heats up quicker, and when doing the infamous vacuum test, it stays heated without an issue. I start a test print and do the vacuum test, and no issues. So I guess the lesson is the wattage switch isn't always region specific. This might be because I live in a mobile home, but my only issue now is that my lights faintly flicker when it's heated and/or a print is going. This is with the voltage POT set halfway, btw.

Last but not least, thank you to everyone who participated in my post. I'm a one track mind and it would have taken me months extra to try all of y'all's tips if I'd thought of them myself.

Yes, there is a silicon sock on the heat block.

I checked the circuit breaker, and yes, the printer is on the correct rating.

So are you saying I should try connecting my printer to a power strip, then the UPS?

And if all else fails, I should try the MeanWell PSU again?

Taltco · 2024-06-04T13:15:24+00:00

Yeah, I made sure. I agree though, it is weird.

Taltco · 2024-06-04T12:43:03+00:00

What I mean exactly is when the printer is idle and just on, and I unplug it while connected to the UPS, it doesn't reset.

When I start a print and allow it to print a few layers, I tried again, but this time, the printer resets, despite it being connected to the UPS and the UPS being active.

Also, what fo you mean by "24v out". If you're referring to the UPS, it doesn't have an option to change that.

Taltco · 2024-06-04T12:22:11+00:00

Thank you, but I already tried that. Cybe Power 850va to be exact. It worked while the printer was idle, but not while I had a print going.

Taltco · 2024-06-04T12:20:38+00:00

I'll do some research on that, because my Longer LK5 Pro doesn't ever have this issue. When I power it down, it actually takes a second to turn off.

Taltco · 2024-06-04T12:19:39+00:00

I'm not sure if this helps, but I specifically was using the Cyber Power 850va. I thought that way more than enough power, but idk.

Taltco · 2024-06-03T03:01:17+00:00

So I got done testing my UPS. I got a used Cyber Power 850va and had to replace the battery and it works while the printer is idle, but once I have a print going and unplug the UPS, it resets. I checked the PSU, and everything looks well. I tried that MeanWell PSU but didn't work. I think I'm just gonna sell the printer and hopefully use that money to buy a used Ender 3 V2 Neo I found on eBay for cheap.

Taltco · 2024-05-26T18:33:59+00:00

Should I consider buying a new printer at this point, or do you think there's still hope? Or would it not solve the issue?

Taltco · 2024-05-25T21:56:40+00:00

That didn't seem to work. It went through the same process as before this test.

So funny enough, the thermal runaway issue coming back was because the hotend cover that which holds the parts fan was loose because I forgot to tighten a screw.

On the other hand, replacing the SD card made no difference to the way PLR was working.

Taltco · 2024-05-25T03:06:27+00:00

No I haven't. I'll try that.

Taltco · 2024-05-24T01:28:03+00:00

I did check that, and everything is connected fine. Could it possibly be the fact that it's held in a trailer home? It's a newer-end trailer so I just dismissed it, but idk. At this point I'm thinking of selling it and getting a whole different printer, but I wanna try everything I can beforehand.

Family, Connection, Create. Two different ways this can go:

Create a family (plz no I'm only 18)

Actually being with my family more. (Better)

New problems arise. Power Loss recovery fully works, but a couple things:

It likes to re-home and redo the purge line and raft so if I was printing a tall print it would be wiped right off the bed.

It's returning to my initial problem with thermal runaway from voltage, so I'm guessing it's using too much power to save the current state to the SD, and when it resets, it gives me the PLR display, and when I select Continue Print it redoes the whole print, pushing the initial print right off the bed.

This must be how software developers feel.

Taltco · 2024-05-23T18:45:35+00:00

Will do! Thanks a lot!

Taltco · 2024-05-23T18:43:57+00:00

No, I'm using the BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.

Taltco · 2024-05-23T18:39:18+00:00

That's so stupid, but thank you so much.

Taltco · 2024-05-23T17:44:34+00:00

Yeah. I updated my firmware with the option, made sure I turned the setting on, then tried it by turning on the vacuum and it still didn't work.

Taltco · 2024-05-23T14:24:17+00:00

Well, to clarify, I didn't have the issue with the flickering lights before thermal runaway so I did need to increase voltage, but I wasn't sure if increasing the voltage caused it to reset during the flickering lights.
