Hi!
I have just built my Tevo Tarantula printer. Using the SD card I have managed to print two testcubes with decent results.
The problem I have is that when I connect to the printer with either my Windows 10 laptop, or a Pi 3 running octoprint (using the supplied USB cable) it initially connects and seems to work great. But in both cases it disconnects within 30seconds to 1 minute with the computer or Pi saying the printer timed out and stopped responding. I got the below log out of octoprint:
The log shows me being able to connect, and use the web controls to move the printer head around and then the printer just stops communicating. After it disconnects I can reconnect about 1 minute later and repeat the process.
I would really appreciate some suggestions as to what I can do. I am using the supplied USB cable and the printer seems to be working as intended in other areas.
