The error message Blackout occurred. Recover print? appears if the power goes off for a longer period of time during printing, and the hotend and heatbed cool down. Therefore, the printer will wait for you to safely resume the print.

There is not much troubleshooting to do, so here's a couple of things you should check before resuming or canceling the print.

Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure that all of the printed objects are still attached to the steel sheet plate.
  2. Follow the instructions on the LCD screen and resume the print.
  3. Stay with the printer for 10 minutes and make sure that the print continues without any problems.
  4. If you suspect that at least one of the printed objects is about to get loose, it is usually better to restart the print.

MK3s, I connected my Raspberry when it was printing. The Printer stopped and did not give me the option to resume printing...

Is a blackout-recoverey now available for the MINI+? If not: will it ever be integrated in an updated firmware?

For how long the printer is able to recover from a power blackout ?.
I ask because I had one the other night. It lasted several hours and, when power came back, the printer didn't remember that it was in the middle of a job. It started with the usual welcome message.

Hi! MK3, MK3S, MK3S+ printers should be able to recover when blackout occurs during printing. Check the black and white power panic cable connection between the PSU and Einsy Rambo if it is plugged correctly on both sides. Check it isn't damaged underneath the printer etc.
