#Frankenstein Upgrade of a CR10 keeps going to PAUSE

Hey! I upgraded my old CR10 that, since I got my VCore3.1 500, just sits there and collects dust. I got an direct extruder, an Octopus V1.1 and a BLTouch - I am running the board with the original 12V powersupply. No filament runout sensor yet.

I installed the latest RatOS on the RPi 3 that used to be the home to Octoprint. Sensorless homing works, PIDs are optimized, bed is level and so on...

If I start a new print the printer goes through the START_PRINT macro (I used the v_minion templates and then modified what I needed from there) - and then it starts printing for maybe 2 seconds and then goes to PAUSE - the console shows no hint for the reason. THe CPU of the Pi is at about 20% load - memory at around 50% , all temperatures are super stable - Octopus at 40°C, Pi at 56°C

If I continue the print it takes just a few seconds of printing before the printer pauses again.

Is there any way I can narrow down the possible causes for this - or does anyone have an idea what could be going on?

All help is appreciated!

Printer.cfg?

@distant wagon in the meantime I did quite a number of tests and optimized whatever I could. I am not too happy with the bed mesh results - pretty sure this can not lead to frequent pausing - right?

Using OrcaSlicer as I do for my vcore 500

Not sure if OrcaSlicer has this, but if it does it should be checked

what happens if you have other start gcode is that imports all of that before hand and it causes pauses. I would get like 10-15 second pause after prime line before printing

I did not find this check box in orca but I saw something funny during the last test print: the ratrig dashboard keeps showing all kind of different current layers during the 1st layer.
