@lemmy.worldSo I might not be of any help, but probably need more information. Are you running stock or have you made any modifications or using a custom firmware? Are you able to connect via network to Octoprint at least? Try different usb cables?
Didn't even bother looking if alternatives existed, glad to see some listed here though. Will have to try them in the future.
So I know nothing of high powered flashlights. Are they just for fun? Searching? Blinding small children? Has the bright light ever helped or saved you?
