It might have happened before but then I just had to refresh or, at most, restart the page to fix it. This time I restarted the page during the print and then, even after the print was done, I tried to connect....

While printing with the Prusa Mini+ printer I lost the connection between Octoprint (hosted on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W). I noticed first on the web-frontend, that is how I monitor the progress. Raspberry Pi… I was going through the troubleshooting guide accessible from Octoprint.

The cable winder job on the Ender printer had a difficult start, first layer was giving issues. It was sticking OK, but the problem was that it was pushing around surplus filament on the print bed....
