G10 in Gcode start
-
Hi, I am trying to get both tools to start a print by heating, with Tool 0 going to active temp and tool1 going to standby temp whilst heating at the same time. I've tried
G28 XYZ ; home all axes
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G1 X10 Y10
T99
G10 P0 S200 R170
G10 P1 S210 R180
M572 D0 S0.02 ; hardware pressure advance
M572 D1 S0.02 ; hardware pressure advance
T0
M109 T0 S200but I'm getting spurious results, sometimes they heat at the same time other times tool 0 heats and then Tool 1
Any help?

I use this for a single-nozzle prints on a dual nozzle printer:
M140 S65 ; set bed temperature
G10 P0 S195 ; set tool 0 active temperature
G10 P1 R150 ; set tool 1 standby temperature
T1 ; select tool one momentarily so that it goes to standby when we select tool 0
T0 ; select tool 0
M116 ; wait for temperatures -
Hi DC, yes I think the issue may be related to the other post about tool change macros, I have M116 in both tpost0 and tpost1 to wait for stabilisation, that's why I put the T99 at the start. IS there a way of disabling the tool change macros at the start of a print, I thought putting T99 might have done that.

This is something that needs looking at especially for switching hotends as tool change macros running when they are not wanted causes big problems. There needs to be a gcode to disable/enable tool changes or a switch to bypass running the tool change macros after an M109, G10 etc.. Or even a Tx command.

You can change tools using a T command without executing the macros in firmware 1.19beta, and in chrishamm's fork versions 1.17e and later. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#T:_Select_Tool.
M109 only causes a tool change if there is an explicit T parameter that is not the number of the current tool, or there is no tool selected. So if you don't want tool change macros run when you execute M109, make sure that the correct tool is selected first.

Hi DC, sorry being thick here, but how would I rearrange my example:
G28 XYZ ; home all axes
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G1 X10 Y10
T99
G10 P0 S200 R170
G10 P1 S210 R180
M572 D0 S0.02 ; hardware pressure advance
M572 D1 S0.02 ; hardware pressure advance
T0
M109 T0 S200so that tool 0 goes to active and tool 1 goes to standby at the same time?
-
DC any thoughts?

Based on the example I gave earlier, this should work
T99
G10 P1 S0 R180 ; set T1 standby temp, and active temp to 0 to avoid waiting for T1 to heat up when we select it
T1 ; turn on T1 so that it will go to standby when we select T0
G10 P0 S200 R170 ; set T0 temperatures
T0 ; select T0
G10 P1 S210 R180 ; set T1 active temperature -
Great thanks for the help

Hi Dc, I've now put your code in and its working fine, providing (sorry) that the tools are at ambient or less than a particular value. Because I'm doing a lot of experimental prints then often Tool1 is cooling from the previous print after a cancel. With the code above it seems to still take a while until M116 thinks its stable, what's the logic it uses?
