Do you see any heater error messages in the console?

Have you PID tuned the heaters?

It almost seems as if the part cooling fan is causing a heater fault.

What does your temp graph look like around the time that it happens?

theshabobo

@Phaedrux
Thanks for the reply!

No heater errors. I have not PID Tuned, however the temp graph is stable, basically almost a straight line. The issue is that the extruder stops extruding until I send a T0.

I manually edited that gcode to add a T0 to each layer and it printed, however this is not a fix.

Phaedrux

PID tune the heaters.

I can't see why it would deselect a tool unless there is a tool change command in the gcode file being printed, or there's been a fault.

theshabobo

no faults, no tool change commands.

One thing I just noticed, the PanelDue 7i displays at random during a print, a bunch of random errors, like "Error: Bad command R12*27"
These errors do not show up in any console.

Phaedrux

Interesting.

What baud rate is your paneldue using? I've seen that when experimenting with high baud rates than the default.

I've also seen it where interference was getting picked up and generating spurious commands. Are you using the 10 pin cable or the 4 wire cable? How long? And is it routed near any stepper motor wiring?

Also can you download the gcode file from the DWC and check it for anything corrupted looking?

If you try simulating the file do you get any errors?

theshabobo

PID's now tuned, I'll try the print again.

I'm using only the standard 4 pin cable, I believe it's 1 meter long. The cable path is not near a stepper motor, about 6-in away from the nearest motor.

I ran a simulation, no errors.

I looked at a file from the DWC, and it does not seem that any of the commands are corrupted.

@theshabobo said in Error: attempting to extrude with no tool selected:

M92 E91.0:91.0

you have one extruder, but two settings in M92. Maybe this produces that an extruder has no tool.

theshabobo

I have removed that line. I'll run another test print to verify.

theshabobo

Update: ran a test print, same issue.

I am now downgrading versions of the duet firmware to 3.0 to see if that resolves it.

dc42

My best guess is that corrupt data received on the PanelDue port is causing the problem. The cable resistance must be no more than 0.1 ohms per conductor. If the cable runs close to stepper motor cables, it must be shielded.

Thalios

Might be stupid but do you have temp change in your print? I just came across a similar issue where the slicer would call T1 on temp changes instead of T0. manually changed it and it works fine now.

theshabobo

ok, so I have now done 2 prints without this error happening.
Here was my fix.

Upgrade firmware of Paneldue to latest version (3.2 RC2) / Reboot
Upgrade Duet 2 Wifi to latest firmware (3.2 beta 1) / Reboot
Downgrade firmware of Duet to version 3.0 / Reboot
Upgrade firmware to 3.1.1

I have no idea why, but this worked so far. I'm going to keep this open until i get a good 10 prints with no more of this error.

theshabobo

ok, Nevermind... happened again. Here is the Diagnostic logs.
@dc42 I tested the resistance, and it is below 0.1. Also the wires are not near any stepper motors.

Your error log shows some garbage commands. Either there is noise interfering or corruption on the SD card. Do you have another SD card to test with?

theshabobo

yes, let me try that.

I changed out the SD card with a new out of the box class 10 one. This was my output of the eventlog. The print did complete.

Was this with a freshly uploaded gcode file or one that was copied over?

It was a fresh g-code. I also tried a different print and it ended up giving the same Attempting to extrude error.

Hi all. I just did the Duet 2 Wifi Upgrade on my printer and I am getting this error when I print any file generated by Simplify3D.

Note: This issue only occurs with S3D, not any other Slicers.
History: The printer was not having this issue with S3D before the Duet 2 Wifi conversion.

This issue will happen at random points during any print. It starts the print fine, then at a random point it will throw this error. Even with the same file, it's random! I have had it happen halfway thru the 1st layer, or on the 10th layer, or the 50th while using the same .gcode file.

There is only 1 extruder, labeled as T0. In the S3D Profile. T1 is the heated bed.

So from the OP and stepping back from everything else that has been said in this thread, the issue is clearly to do with the gcode files that has been generated by S3D because of this statement (quote) "Note: This issue only occurs with S3D, not any other Slicers".

Or more specifically, those S3D gcode files have commands which are inconsistent with RRF firmware because of this statement (quote) "The printer was not having this issue with S3D before the Duet 2 Wifi conversion".

Therefore, the solution must lie in the gcode file so it might be an idea if the OP made that gcode file available, then we can see what commands are embedded which could be triggering the problem.

This comment could be a clue (quote) "There is only 1 extruder, labeled as T0. In the S3D Profile. T1 is the heated bed."

If S3D is putting T1 commands in the gcode file to control the heated bed, these commands will be interpreted by the duet firmware as being commands to select or control tool 1. But there is only a single tool defined in config.g so any "T1" commands will refer to a tool which does not exist. So switching to T1 is likely to trigger the error "attempting to extrude with no tool selected" because T1 does not exist.

So my best guess at a fix (without seeing the gcode file) would be to correct whatever setting in S3D is causing T1 commands to be inserted in the gcode file.

Edit - Or maybe the unsupported M40 and M429 commands the S3D is inserting in the gcode file are triggering the error. These need to be fixed in the slicer settings in any case.
