I just post this for others to be aware, me using "Hishell X5" cat printer:
- longer prints (e.g. more than 10cm or 4in) with a lot of dark tend to overheat the printer, and as result smears rest of the print; as the printer is made out of plastic, it takes a few mins to cool off
- solution: increase
ble.py line 33 WAIT_AFTER_EACH_CHUNK to 0.9 (from 0.02) - this will make the printer stutter and print slowly, but it won't overheat so easily anymore
- longer prints also are too fast delivered and the end of the print may be missing
- similar solution: increase
ble.py: line 33 WAIT_AFTER_EACH_CHUNK set to 0.1 (from 0.02) - which resolved the issue for me
