So basically like it will just randomly disconnect from my klipper mid-print, I also noticed a while ago that it would also disconnect if I just left everything idle for a while, however I did do a lot of changes since then.
Here is what I’ve done so far:
Proper PSU *I was previously running a phone charger on pi but I fixed that, still idles out at like 90’ish %*
Different Cables (Specifically for data connection from ender 3 to rpi3)
Different USB ports on pi
Complete reinstallation of Both OS and Printer firmware (But I did keep my same configs)
Technical Specifications
Printer: Ender 3 with 4.2.2 mainboard
Host: Rasperry pi 3 Model b Revision 1.2
UI: KlipperScreen + Fluidd
Printer.cfg
# This file contains pin mappings for the stock 2020 Creality Ender 3
# V2. To use this config, during “make menuconfig” select the
# STM32F103 with a “28KiB bootloader” and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)
# communication.
# If you prefer a direct serial connection, in “make menuconfig”
# select “Enable extra low-level configuration options” and select
# serial (on USART3 PB11/PB10), which is broken out on the 10 pin IDC
# cable used for the LCD module as follows:
# 3: Tx, 4: Rx, 9: GND, 10: VCC
# Flash this firmware by copying “out/klipper.bin” to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The firmware
# filename must end in “.bin” and must not match the last filename
# that was flashed.
# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.

(Oh also I did add a glass bed and CR touch) the CR touch does behave just fine so I don’t think it’s the culprit, but then again I am somewhat new so I may be wrong on that end.
