Heater can't keep temperature up
-
Hi, I am having trouble keeping the temps constant. As soon as they drop to .99 I get this :
Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault
I did an auto PID tuning twice and saved it, but the heater just can't keep up and I don't know how to boost it up.
Also while the test print job runs I have no control over my cooling fan. So I can't lower it to test if it is too high.
Normally I can set it to run at whatever percentage I want, but not while it prints?
Duet WiFI
The printhead is a Titan Aero with just the cooling fan.This is my config:

@id104335409 said in Heater can't keep temperature up:
I have no control over my cooling fan
Which cooling fan do you mean? The heatsink fan or the part cooling fan?
The heatsink fan is configured to be controlled thermostatically based on the temp of the heater, so once above 45c it will be on full power.
The part cooling fan should show up as a slider in DWC and should be controllable. It's a good idea to set the part cooling fan during the PID tuning to be at the same speed you would normally be using for an actual print.
-
there is only one fan - the heatsink fan, but the problem is heating is not turning on and off in a way that keeps the head above the printing temperature and if it drops by 0.1 degree it just refuses to push filament so not to cause jams. the fan should be at 100% anyway, but I was surprised to see the slider didn't control it anymore.
-
What temp are you trying to reach? What does the graph look like?
-
100 degrees, graph is straight line. Dips are just down from 100 to 99.99.
otherwise I can go up 225 I believe. Temperature is not an issue. -
@id104335409 , are you trying to extrude filament at 100C ???? That will not work as your temperature is too low.
The ' tool not driven ' error message only shows up if you are trying to extrude.
You are saying you can reach 225C and temperature is not an issu so why are you testing things at 100C ... try testing at 200C instead. -
Oh, Im so sorry - this is just a test run , no need for filament all over the place. I'm just adjusting the printer.
Heater, sensor, e steps, bed level and so on.
Is there a failsafe that doesn't allow extrusion under certain temperature? -
@id104335409 Yes there is. But you can use M302 to allow cold extrusion.
