No extrusion in some cases
-
@droftarts That extra M83 does solve the issue I was experiencing. Now my next questions are: where is the rogue M82 in my config
? And for @dc42 why does an M83 while printing is IP not seem to switch to relative mode.Either way many thanks for the help!
-
@Nxt-1 Try my suggestion of putting M83 in the slicer start code. This will override any prior M82 command from any other source as it will be executed just before the print starts. If necessary edit your 20mmcube file and put M83 just before the first G1 move. If that works, then you can work backwards from there to isolate where the other M82 is coming from.

Adding M83 in the slicer start code would result in the same as adding manually, like I did. This would be my fallback solution, but it does not treat the cause, just mitigates the effect. Therefore, I am going digging in the /sys files for a rogue M82 in the 1st place
. I think you are right, going backwards to isolate the M82 might the best way to go about. -
@Nxt-1 It could be that absolute extrusion is the default setting if no M83 is present. So it may not be that there is an M82 anywhere, merely that that there is not an M83 in config.g.
My point about putting M83 in the slicer start code as well, is that it would act as a fail safe in case at any time in the future something changed in another file and an M82 got added by accident.
IMO, if a slicer creates a file with relative extrusion commands, then it should also add an M83 at the very start. Conversely if the slicer is set to create absolute extrusion commands, then it should also add an M82 command. But that's clearly not how Kiss Slicer works.

@Nxt-1 Do you have an M555 command in your config.g? This sets the firmware compatibility. I'm not sure, but I think if it's set to Marlin (M555 P2), it sets absolute extrusion. We should have probably asked earlier, but posting your config.g would be a sensible thing to do, so we can see if there's anything out of the ordinary. I don't see the issue with adding M83 in config.g, or at the beginning of a print file.

@deckingman I don't know why this suddenly became an issue when changing to the Super Volcano. I did not find a missing M83 after a M82 in any of files (it was already in my config file). I agree with the logic that slicer output meant for relative moves, should specify a M83 command in it's output.
Thanks

I believe the marlin compatibility in this case refers to the responses given for acknowledgements over USB comms.

Although I believe @deckingman is right, and it only influences USB comms. (sauce)
-
@Nxt-1 Okay, so not M555! I suppose I should have also asked earlier... what firmware version and what Duet board are you running? M115 will show everything. Also, anything in config_override.g?

Correct.
-
can you show the firmware type settings you have in Kiss
and also check and post the g-code pre-fix screen as well
Mine are posted above and if set correctly does insert a M83 in the start code.
Firmware type should be set to 5D - Relative E
HTH at least a little
-
@Dougal1957 My firmwaretype is set to 5D-Relative E in KISS, prefix was empty before. I now put a few commands in there:
G21 ; Set Units to Millimeters G90 ; Set to Absolute Positioning M83 ; Set extruder to relative modeI do not see KISS putting an M83 in there by itself, which I would expect when set to relative E.
-
@Nxt-1 I've been using kiss that long now I can't remember wether i did it myself or not but I think it did!
