Hiya all,
I know what CRC check is in the comms world but what is the impact of a CRC error during print and does the soft ware do anything to prevent issue whilst printing?
Am using D4S with rep7.5 firmware.

Re: CRC Error
I think CRC Error is the Sailfish/MakerBot equivalent to Firmware Unresponsive error which typically arises from USB communication errors. I've highlighted my issues with USB printing in the past (I only mentioned print failures too! not even dropped lines).
http://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1949Reasons why computer to USB transmission should be a secondary choice to SD card printing:
Main reason-->USB cables are prone to EM interference- If too many transmissions get dropped in the back-and-forth the firmware will go unresponsive.
Computer's sleep settings may be on
Laptop could run out of battery
Automatic system updates restarting the computer
If your processor lags (playing a video game that requires high performance)- transmission could be interrupted
Accidentally closing the software
Computer freezing due to another program
