Please consider becoming a patron

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps.

Also, i kinda found a "FIX" when the printer stops printing. Everything stays the same. RPI is still online, Interface still works. But when i plug out the Cable of my camera the print resumes.

Does this have something to do because i use a Sony Camera ?

Camera i'm using : Sony Alpha 6000

Followed your video tutorials how to use a DSLR with Octoprint. Works fine, but somehow the printer stops randomly.

Sorry this took me a while to get to. I tend to get to DLSR issues last, since they are so hard for me to debug. However, this time you are in luck! I recently received an issue from the maintainer of gphoto2 (excellent program, thanks to the author!) that addresses issues with your camera that have been plaguing users (and my github, lol) for a LONG time. There is an update to a usb driver that apparently fixes this issue, though I don't have an Alpha to test. I updated the gphoto2 installation script in this guide (see Step 2 - Create the GPhoto2 Installer Script), and running it again may solve your issue. Please let me know!

Hi, thanks alot.

I will re run the Script, and we'll see if the problem still appears :)
