This error comes up when there should be low load on everything. My RPI is not enclosed and the room temperature is in the 60's (20's c). Printing continues but my connection to Fluidd kicks out constantly.

What RPi? Does it have heatsing? Does any fan blow on the heatsink? If yes, it is possible there is not good contact between heatsing and CPU.

I am using a RPi 4B. No heat sink and no fan. I was told it wouldn’t need one with as little as the processor is used. I typically only see about 3% cpu usage on the RPi.

There may still be other operations outside raw CPU usage which use computation power.

Who told you you do not need it? 😮

#

I highly recommend getting heatsink and blow some air onto it.

oh. Pi4 tends to run hot. definitely get a heatsink and a fan on that thing

If it's electronics bay, there should be at least a pair of fans

#

yeah that one can be good

#

only problem with MOST of these is, if you use the GPIO for power... you will have to somehow finagle this into it...
