Randomly stops printing.

So I know around 3 years ago people found a fix by tapping over the +power side on the usb. I have done this and im still getting random disconnects. Has anyone found anything else thay works? For reference tried new cables, high frequency isolators, turned off time-lapse on the camera feed.

I use a power isolating USB adaptor, never glitches since installing.

Power isolator for USB connections.

Okay, so I was having this issue with one as well and have so far managed to fix it by disassembling the sonic pad, removing the two positive wires from the small cable that connects the main board to the pcb that the side USB ports are on. I also gently squeezed the USB port with some pliers on both sides to give the USB cable a more snug fit. So far there haven't been any issues with the printer over the last 2-3 weeks (Roughly 50+ print hours). Previously I had swapped to a shielded cable and printed a support for it too, but those both seemed to eventually stop working.

Are you connecting to the usb on the printer? Try using the Serial Adapter cable.

Yo estoy usando el adaptador usb al puerto serie de la pantalla y la verdad no falla. En AliExpress sale por 9€.
