Background
Whereas Time too close rather indicates an overloaded / jammed host, this error points to an overloaded MCU
Reasons
- Too high step rate
Potential solutions
- Check for approaching the limit:
- Check the Benchmarks document and find the 3 stepper value for your MCU type
- Check the
klippy.log
file and find lines similar toqueue_step 0: t=72950209107 p=7317 i=28714 c=-29 a=214
- If the
i=xxx
values are about the same or even lower than the 3 stepper value from the MCU benchmark then too many steps are requested
- Reduce the
microsteps
setting of the steppers (typically X and Y) - Reduce printing speed
