It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the communication between your OctoPrint setup and the 3D printer. This could be caused by a variety of factors such as a slow or unreliable connection, an overloaded Raspberry Pi, or incorrect printer settings in OctoPrint.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check the USB cable and connections between the Raspberry Pi and the 3D printer to ensure they are secure and not damaged.
  2. Verify that the power source for the Raspberry Pi is stable and not causing any voltage drops.
  3. Monitor the system resources on the Raspberry Pi while printing to see if it is being overloaded.
  4. Check the baud rate and other communication settings in OctoPrint to ensure they match those of your 3D printer.
  5. Consider upgrading your setup in the future to address potential limitations.

If the issue persists, you may want to seek further assistance from the OctoPrint community or consider alternative solutions.

use a data only cable

#

You are using the phone/tablet in battery mode? Is it still "in use"?

#

you could solder a powerline directly into it

#

try taping down the +5V pin of the usb cable

#

why not check first if its a system load/optimization issue?

#

try running a task manager esque app while on split screen

#

then print

Does not mean it doesn't run some crap in the bsckground

#

you should try checking the normal culprits first tbh

#

system load, android auto-optimization, throttling

Or get a pi0 2w

#

especially since phones don't really have a big surface area to cool down

Or a cheap used thin client

#

even tablets also has the same footprint in cooling as phones

We only give advice, you do with thst what you want🤷

#

if you can consider this, try custom romming with lineage OS and see if octo4a works still

#

it has lesser bloat still that could help

#

but try to def troubleshoot your current setup first

#

it could have just been android not being nice and giving priority to background apps
