Describe your issue:

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a random and hard-to-diagnose issue with Klipper and would appreciate any help or guidance.

  1. The printer stops in the middle of a print
  2. KlipperScreen freezes and the touchscreen becomes unresponsive
  3. Web interface (Mainsail/Fluidd) is not accessible
  4. SSH connection also fails
  5. No clear error message is shown on the screen

Behavior:

  1. Happens completely at random

  2. Sometimes the printer runs fine for up to 10 hours

  3. Sometimes it freezes within 5 minutes after starting a print

  4. Not related to a specific G-code file (tested multiple files)

  5. Mainboard: mks monster8 v2.0

  6. SBC: rbpi 3B+

  7. Touchscreen running KlipperScreen

  8. Web interface: Mainsail

What I have tried so far:

  • Checked power supply for the rpbpi

  • Replaced USB cable

  • Reduced print speed

  • Checked CPU temperature (not overheating)
    → The issue still occurs

  • Has anyone experienced a complete system freeze like this (screen + web + SSH)?

Please let me know what logs or additional information I should provide to help diagnose this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :folded_hands:

Sorry, I forgot to attach the klippy.log file in my previous post.

I have also tried reinstalling Klipper from scratch (fresh install), but the problem still happens.
The printer continues to stop randomly while printing — sometimes after around 10 hours, sometimes just 5 minutes after starting a print.

I would also like to ask if Obico could be the cause of this issue.
I am using a Logitech Brio 100 camera, and my crowsnest settings are:

  • Resolution: 640x480

  • Max FPS: 15

Could Obico or the camera streaming be causing the random freezes or disconnects?
Updates since the initial post:

  1. I replaced the USB cable between the SBC and the MCU with a thicker, higher-quality cable that supports higher data transfer speeds.

  2. I added a dedicated Mean Well 5V 5A power supply for the Raspberry Pi.
