Raspberry Pi Octoprint power troubleshooting with USB inline voltmeter current meter lightning bolt

I always get a power warning lightning bolt when I use my USB buck powered off my 3D printers power supply. My printer has a 40 amp power supply so I doubt that is the problem. I was troubleshooting blind because I could not see in real time what the raspberry Pi was drawing. My USB buck and out 3.4 amps. More then enough for raspberry Pi 3 B+. I ordered another USB buck with a variable output power adjustment.
