This just happened for a second time… I’m running octoprint on a windows desktop computer that lives next to the printer (no raspberry pi for me yet).

Twice now, it has disconnected mid-print. The printer and PC are both online and physically connected. Disconnecting and reconnecting in octoprint works, and I have been manually checking the last gcode sent successfully in the terminal and copying the remaining code out of the file from there and printing that - it works but if it has been disconnected for a while before I notice, the spot where the extruder was sitting gets a little melty and there are some artifacts in the print.

Is there any octoprint plug in that can automate this process so I don’t have to manually edit the gcode? Or any tips on preventing disconnects?

I’m pretty new to this whole world of 3d printing and even newer to octoprint so I may be missing something obvious.

Thanks!
