Filament configuration - ABS

[Phaedrux]

It's a Duet 3 and I assume you're still on fw 3.1.1 and DWC 3.1.1? Are you using an SBC as well?

@Phaedrux

It is a Duet 3 on stand-alone mode (No SBC).
M115 returns:

10/6/2020, 6:56:31 PM M115
FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.01-RC9 ELECTRONICS: Duet 3 MB6HC v1.01 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-04-21b1

It looks like you are still on an old firmware version. Please try updating with this method.

@Phaedrux Following the method, the DWC did not automatically detect the files additionally, when I did a M115 command It appears as though I downgraded.

I attempted the procedure again, this time successfully.

Does the filament function work correctly now on 3.1.1?

[kroybal]

@Phaedrux After the firmware update, It still does not register that Ive added filament. So far the slicer is handling the filament properties as specified in its configuration.

However, I would still love to add that functionality because this is intended to be used at a production level and will likely experience many filament changes per client specification.

@kroybal said in Filament configuration - ABS:

I think the problem is that you've named the macro ABS when it should be a folder in filaments called ABS and then inside that folder would have the various macros for load unload and config.

@Phaedrux Awesome, appreciate the guidance M701 is new to me.

[Phaedrux]

M701 and M702 are what get called when you use load and unload in DWC.

How exactly are you creating the filament entries? You linked the documentation in your first post so I assumed you were using DWC to add the filaments and then edit the load and unload macros.

When you access the page where the filaments are listed you should see something like above:

When you click "NEW FILAMENT" it will ask you for a NAME and then create a FOLDER with that NAME and inside the FOLDER it will create the three files you need but the ones created do nothing, you need to edit them as desired.

The files that are created are CONFIG.G LOAD.G and UNLOAD.g
