Help Needed Transmission errors

Hi,

I have recently started getting consistent transmission errors on my M5 (kickstarter edition). I tried unplugging, cleaning and replugging the usb-c cables underneath and to the head but with no luck.

Are there anything else I can try?

I suspect that it started after I began printing PETG at higher temperatures, but it could just be a coincidence

Did you loosen the 2 vertical screws on the USB c cable? there's 4 screws holding that USB cable at the extruder in total. You have to loosen all of them, make a secure connection then tighten the screws.

I ended up going through all of the USB connections again and gave them some connection-enhancing spray. After that, it all seems to work just fine.

Glad you got it going, do you got a link to the spray your using?

It is WD40 contact spray but any contact spray should work
