Possible duplication of https://github.com/PrintMakerLab/mks-wifi-plugin/issues/351

Jeredian commented 4 months ago

Also please try this workaround:

Due to hardware limitations, the printer board can only support one connection an a time. That's why we need to keep only 1 Cura instance running. Sometimes when plugin updates Cura does not close previous connections, and therefore it is necessary to restart the application, or sometimes even the system itself.

For Elegoo and Artillery users we also suggest to manually remove MKSWifiPlugin first time, because the version of Cura and the plugin from the manufacturer of these printers are different from the actual versions.

HI, I don't know why, but my folder structure looks nothing like this.  I can't even find a Cura plugin folder by running a general search on the whole PC. I did try to uninstall through marketplace and reinstall by drag an drop in one instance only running. I generally only have one instance open anyway.   On Monday, February 19, 2024 at 04:15:21 AM EST, Pavel Polyakov @.***> wrote:

@NXS26 , you can try another way. Inside Cura application, from the application menu in Help -> Show settings folder . It will open the same folder. Because AppData sometimes hidden on windows os.

Then you need to send "cura" (aka cura.log) file, it's the single one text document inside that folder : image

And for plugin - it placed in the "plugins" folder

Hope, it helps.

Could you try to:

  1. Clean up plugin settings (list of IP adresses)
  2. Close Cura
  3. Restart PC
  4. Run Cura
  5. Set IP address of your printer (in the plugin settings dialog)
  6. And click to connect to the printer
  7. If the issue still be there, please, send log file ( according to the screenshots above)

I will try to reproduce same thing too, but it's hard to catch.
