Wrong Temperature Displays

Some people report that the temperature displayed in the browser is different than the temperature displayed on the printer LCD. There can be a few reasons for this.

1. Communication Interrupted​

Communication between the printer and Pi / Hub may have been interrupted. This can be caused by different issues as follows.

1.1 Unstable Power Supply​

Ensure your Raspberry Pi / Print Farm Hub is plugged into a power outlet with a stable power supply.

If you're running a high-power appliance on the same circuit (e.g. refrigerator, AC, toaster, kettle, microwave, multiple 3D printers heating up at the same time) this can cause a momentary dip in power, which can interrupt the power to the Raspberry Pi or Print Farm Hub, causing instability issues.

1.2 System Needs to be Reset​

"Just turn it off and on again". Believe it or not, this can solve stability issues like this in some cases.

Try rebooting your Pi / Print Farm Hub.

1.3 Corrupted SD Card​

Try re-flashing AutoFarm3D on your SD card. If the issue persists, try a new SD card (16 GB, Class 10, Reliable brand).

1.4 USB Connection Broken (Non-Bambu only)​

Broken USB cables can cause instability. Try connecting a new USB cable from your Pi/Hub to your printer.

If this doesn't fix the issue, it's possible the USB port on your 3D printer might be broken / loose. You may need a new motherboard.

1.5 Firmware Issues​

Your printer firmware occasionally sends malformed responses to gcode commands. This is usually fixed by reflashing firmware.

2. Creality Bug​

Some Creality printers have a bug in the firmware where temperatures are not displayed properly. If you go to the gcode console, and the temperature looks like this:

tt::25.9125.91 //0.000.00 bb::33.7533.75 //0.000.00 @@::00 bb@@::00\n\n

Then your machine is affected with the firmware bug. Your temperatures should look like this:

t:19.63 /0.00 b:19.47 /0.00 @:0 b@:0\n

The solution for this bug is to update your printer's firmware to the latest version of Marlin.
