#FixMyPrint

This video is part of my ongoing series to help diagnose & fix a range of 3D printing issues to help my 3DTomorrow Filament customers get the best results from their filament. Of course, if you use another filament brand, this video should still be very helpful for you.
Firstly, a shoutout to Rich G, who's comment on my Sunlu S8 review, prompted this video.
In this video, I discuss how the power loss recovery feature in Marlin, could be creating artefacts on your prints, particularly if you've got a budget printer with budget electronics. I also discuss how you can mitigate the issues by turning off the feature in Gcode, or if that doesn't work updating the firmware.
As promised, here is the link I mentioned in the video to the full length guide on updating firmware: • Updated Marlin firmwar...

Thank You! I'm brand new to this and tried to print an ornament in vase mode and had nothing but problems. This fixed it! Definitely earned a new sub.

[@CallumColes]

Glad it helped! Appreciate the comment

If it isn't broken don't fix it, this is the lesson I have learned over and over. If you have unreliable power, buy a UPS.

[@CallumColes]

You’re not wrong, I am yet to see a power loss recovery solution actually work reliably.

You saved my day!

[@paimond223]

You rock. I had this issue. This fixed it. Might also have to do with a cheap/terribly MicroSD card btw.

[@CallumColes]

Pleased to hear it! Yeah cheap MicroSDs can play their part, especially in conjunction with a slow controller board...

[@lufebr]

you saved my day!

[@CallumColes]

Pleased to hear it, cheers for the comment:)

Great video Callum, I never had a problem with “zits” on my ender 3 s1 but all of a sudden they started appearing when printing from the sdcard, turned out to be a faulty card. Like everything there’s never one answer. Just bought an new Ender 5 Plus as a build/upgrade platform and with the big build volume of this printer, is there an update on 2kg spools of your pla range?

[@CallumColes]

Yes SD cards can play a big role, I've had to replace many over the years! Trouble is, it's never the first thing you think of when you start having problems. Even in the case of these printers, a higher quality SD card would have no doubt improved the situation. 2kg rolls are now live! They've been ready for a while actually, but was planning on announcing them in the newsletter, which I'll send out tomorrow now. So anyway, you're the first to know :D

[@bdunni88]

Does the Sunlu S8 Pro have the ability to turn off Powerloss recovery or is it the same as the non-pro version?

[@CallumColes]

I’m not sure! But there’s always the option to flash new firmware if the gcode command doesn’t work

[@WayneKo]

How do I update the firmware on the longer 5 pro

[@CallumColes]

Longer have an article that may help here: www.longer3d.com/blogs/news/longer-lk4-pro-lk5-pro-3d-printer-firmware-update Alternatively, if you feel like installing a custom Marlin firmware with the power loss recovery turned off, this video should be helpful for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6LCqpqsfatlb6s&ab_channel=TeachingTech

[@breadface3665]

Hi can you turn this feature off using pronterface?

[@CallumColes]

Worth a try! But it didn't work on mine when I tried
