Random Pauses? Please Help!
I am having issues with this print randomly pausing partway through the print. It never stops in the same place and never shows anything in the console. Any ideas what’s causing this? I’m so confused. I re-sliced it and again pauses random places. I have an orbiter filament sensor and a broken sensor that’s wired in, but I have yet to add anything to the configuration.

do you have a filament sensor attached?
Yeah I have the orbiter filament sensor attached and in my config. I have the btt smart filament sensor 2 wired in but nothing in the config for it
then it smost likely false alerts that trigger the pause command
deactivate the sensors and try again
The prints are over a day long. Would I be able to see a trigger in the klipper.log?
you could see it in the console output
This is my console. Nothing seems to be shown
enable debug output
Ok I’ll do that
This is now what displays
So the sensor is false triggering
Any idea how to fix?
@Helge Keck
You would need to find out why it falsely triggers, it's switch based right?
Yeah it’s switch based
I’m wondering if I can add some kind of a delay to see if it stays triggered for a period of time before actually causing a pause
No easy way to do that
But instead of having it run the RatOS macros, you could debug it by running
RATOS_ECHO PREFIX="FILAMENT SENSOR" MSG="Runout triggered" and RATOS_ECHO PREFIX="FILAMENT SENSOR" MSG="Filament inserted" instead
Then monitor the console as you printOk thanks. Yeah the console is showing random triggers
Must be an issue with a switch or lose wire somewhere
can also be the ptfe tube routing that is pulling at the sensor
Oh like the reverse Bowden tube ptfe?
yes
Is there a way to fix that or route the tubing better?
make sure the ptfe tube doesnt pull at the hotend
Oh I see what you’re saying
I don’t think it does, as I have some slack. Maybe I’ll cut a longer piece and give it some more flexibility
