Print Stopping As 100% Complete When iPad Sleeps

Aaron_Nall

I just experienced a very strange phenomenon. I was printing a 30 layer file that was supposed to take ~25 minutes. I decided to hop in the shower and figured the print would be complete when I was done showering.

Well, when I woke up the iPad (from it's sleep state) that I was using to monitor the web interface, the interface reported that the print was complete. However, the print head had stopped at the location I assume it was in when the iPad went to sleep. There was no return to home. The extrusion continued briefly until the extruder chamber pressure equalized with the atmosphere, so there was a small button of material that the nozzle was seated in. The heaters shut off. The print stopped on layer 14. I counted the layers with a viewing loop.

What would ever cause the Duet 2 Wifi board to halt all operation and report the print was completed aside from reaching the end of the gcode file that's on the card?

This is the third or fourth time I have had this issue and I assumed it was related to bad gcode file export from the slicer, but in the file the code clearly continues past layer 14. So, maybe there is a bug where sleep causes an emergency stop and reports print complete?

Any insight would be great, and appreciated.

Were you able to get the results of M122 after it had stopped before rebooting?

Can you tell us what firmware version and DWC version you are using?

Also post your config.g

Aaron_Nall

Yes, with no success in tracing a cause. As well as reading a thread from 2018 with same event description, and following the suggestion to use M122 to debug any apparent actual problem, there was no reset event or any red flag information that would explain the event in M122 data. Last reset was 4 hours prior noted as startup. I will run several tests on a small print tomorrow to see if I can reliably create a circumstance that repeats the false finish event, but so far all investigation points to random bug of some sort that isn't producing an error.

Very srtrange.

RepRap 3.1.1 firmware.

What is DWC? The web interface?

Will post the config.g file in some hours.

The web interface is whatever comes inside Duet2and3Firmware-3.1.1.zip as that's the package I used to install the latest firmware that I could find.

M115:
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.1.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-05-19b2

I've been trying to replicate the event all day by letting the iPad sleep at 2 min intervals. So far not getting a repeat. I even tried logging in on Windows 10 and letting them both fall asleep.

You can check the DWC (Duet Web Control, i.e. the web interface) version in the settings tab. Just want to make sure you're on 3.1.1 to match the firmware.

If it does fail a print again try to get a M122 result as soon as you can and post it here, that may give a clue about what happened. Without that it's quite hard to say.
