@dc42 The room temperature is 22.9C but can be low as 15.5C. The target temperature of the bed is 70*C.

Hmm, very odd then that it reported a gain (A parameter) of 30.8. The computed gain should be higher than the temperature rise during tuning. So if the indicated bed temperature was 22.9C when you started tuning, and it reached 70C, then the gain should be greater than 47. OTOH if the bed was already at e.g. 45C then you started tuning, then the computed gain would indeed be much lower than it really is. Tuning must start with the heater reading close to room temperature.
You could try using M307 H0 A55 C297 D23.

@Gost101 that's worked then.
As it says, Send M500 and make sure M501 is part of your config -
@jay_s_uk I do not have M501. What is it and where should it be in the config?

When you use M500 to save computed values, they go into config-override.g. M501 loads the config-override.g file. So add M501 to the end of config.g so that it gets loaded at startup.
-
@Phaedrux Cool beans, I had to run it again as the 501 would not be in place until rebooting takes place it failed. But ill run it again. Ambient room temperature is at 35*C now so it will affect the calibration I dont know if i should change anything.
-
@Phaedrux It keeps failing
-
It succeeded once though didn't it? If you use m500 after it completed successfully once the values would be saved to config-override.g. do you see anything in that file?
-
@Phaedrux I didn't have m501 in my config file. I sent m500 after I put it in but would not work because the printer said that m501 was not in the config file. So I had to reboot it. And now I can't get it to work.
-
Are you allowing the bed to cool right down to room temperature before you start the tuning process? That is essential.
-
@dc42 indeed.

@Gost101 M500 saves the results of an autotune (and some other info) to config_override.g in the 'sys' folder on your SD card. An example of config_override.g:
; config-override.g file generated in response to M500 at 2020-09-30 10:19 ; This is a system-generated file - do not edit ; Heater model parameters M307 H0 A215.5 C661.6 D5.8 S1.00 V11.6 B1 M307 H1 A341.8 C144.9 D4.6 S1.00 V12.2 B0 M307 H2 A341.8 C144.9 D4.6 S1.00 V12.2 B0 ; Workplace coordinates G10 L2 P1 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P2 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P3 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P4 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P5 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P6 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P7 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P8 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00 G10 L2 P9 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 U0.00You can then:
either open config_override.g, copy the
M307 H0 ...line to your config.g, making sure you paste it in after, or in place of, any existing M307 H0 command,or add M501 to the end of your config.g, which causes it to run config_override.g after config.g.
M500 and M501 are well-documented in the gcode dictionary: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode?revisionid=HEAD#Section_M500_Store_parameters

@droftarts Thanks. Also the printer just finished the M303 with another cancelled:
9/30/2020, 3:27:43 AM Auto tune cancelled because target temperature was not reached 9/30/2020, 2:57:35 AM Auto tune phase 1, heater on 9/30/2020, 2:57:29 AM M303 H0 S70 Auto tuning heater 0 using target temperature 70.0°C and PWM 1.00 - do not leave printer unattended 9/30/2020, 2:57:22 AM M307 H0 A55 C297 D23 -
@droftarts Is there a way to ignore the safety's and allow the bed to heat up to 70*C?
-
@Gost101 It's going to be very difficult to tune the bed to the maximum temperature it can achieve, because sometimes it gets there, and sometimes it doesn't. There isn't anyway to disable the heater warning, because that would be unsafe. Try tuning to 60C.
Also, have you changed the thermistor setting in config.g to what they actually are? I've just checked the Creality CR10 S5 Marlin firmware source code. Your bed thermistor should be a 100k EPCOS, and so is your hotend as standard. For the hot end, you linked an E3D heater cartridge, not the thermistor! Are you still using the stock thermistor? If so, it's also a 100k EPCOS thermistor. If they are both standard, change these lines in config.g for (slightly) more accurate temperatures:
M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4092 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp ... M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4092 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0tempIf you've changed the hot end thermistor, post what it is. Perhaps also post your current config.g.

I'm using this e3D thermistor for the hotend and the stock one for the bed. Granted I need to buy a higher temp one for the hotend. link text
-
@Gost101 Okay, so that's a Semitec 104NT (a drop-in replacement for the discontinued Semitec 104GT). Change config.g to:
M308 S1 P"e0temp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4725 C7.06e-8 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin e0tempIan

@droftarts Tunning for the bed failed again.
