We have a Lulzbot Mini at my office (i.e. it's not my personal printer). It's connected to an OctoPi and I've been able to get just one file to print on it (which I had to cancel due to leveling issues). Others have used it successfully in the past.

However, right now, every time I try to connect to it through OctoPrint, I just get gibberish back:

No answer from the printer within the connection timeout, trying another hello

There was a timeout while trying to connect to the printer

Connection closed, closing down monitor

The only thing I can think of right now is refreshing the firmware, but before I do that, I figured I'd ask here. Does any one know what this gibberish is and how I can restore this printer to regular operation?

If the printer returns gibberish, the Baud rate of the connection is incorrect. You are using 115200 in the example above. For older Mini firmwares, it should indeed be 115200. For the newer 1.1.5.xx builds, it should be 250000.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks! This turned out to be the issue with connecting to OctoPrint. I'm still having other issues with the printer, but that's outside the scope of this question. $\endgroup$
