      My Duet is complaining about my bed heater taking too long to heat up. Note, in the past I had a separately powered heating pad. When it died, I decided to have a board control one.
      I am using the original Duet 3 board (6HC) - firmware ver MB6HC 3.3RC2 (2021-05-11)
      The power supply is 24V 500 watts
      The bed heater is 24V 400 watts

      This is my code (H0 is the bed heater):
      M308 S0 P"temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138
      M950 H0 C"out2" T0
      M307 H0 B1 S1.00
      M140 H0
      M143 H0 S120
      M308 S1 P"temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138
      M950 H1 C"out1" T1
      M307 H1 B0 S1.00
      M143 H1 S280

      I ran the heater configuration and followed the steps:
      Auto tuning heater 0 completed after 5 idle and 9 tuning cycles in 1403 seconds. This heater needs the following M307 command:
      M307 H0 B0 R0.300 C615.0 D1.30 S1.00 V22.7

      I do that and get this message:
      Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 209C

      I save with M500 anyway.

      I even rebooted afterwards but still get this when I instruct via web control to heat the bed to 60 😄
      "Error: Heating fault on heater 0, temperature rising much more slowly than the expected 1.7°C/sec"

        You have to read config-override by sending M501 at the end of config.g or in the Web interface.

          @o_lampe I always had this just above the tools lines, near the bottom:

            @weevil post your full config and config override using the </> code tags.
            Looks like it's not reading the tuned parameters (1.7deg/s is the default for a heater)

              @engikeneer You just gave me an idea. I'll try editing the M307 code.

                @engikeneer EDiting the code directly didn't work either. It's still complaining.

                      I would suggest deleting the config-override.g file and then re-run the heater tuning with M303 and when it completes use M500 again to save it, which should create a fresh config-override.g file.

                          @phaedrux That did not work. I got the following message:

                          Warning: heater behaviour was not consistent during tuning
                          Auto tuning heater 0 completed after 4 idle and 25 tuning cycles in 3679 seconds. This heater needs the following M307 command:
                          M307 H0 B0 R0.317 C276.8 D1.57 S1.00 V22.7
                          Send M500 to save this command in config-override.g

                          As with all tests, the beep alarm would go off each time the bed heats up. I went ahead and saved the code with M500 but the issue remains. I would be happy if I could just disable the alert. It appears to function fine.

                            @phaedrux I think the issue is the board is treating the bed heater like a nozzle heater. It is running tests with the fan on and fan off.

                            These codes:
                            M308 S0 P"temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138
                            M308 S0 P"temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138

                            They look identical. Perhaps there is a code for bed heaters.

                              What M303 command are you using to tune the bed?

                              M303 T# will tune the heater as a tool with the fan
                              M303 H# will tune the heater as a heater without the fan

                                @phaedrux I thought I was using H. I'll double-check when I get home. But the M308 command, shouldn't the T100000 B4138 be different for bed?

                                  @weevil depends what thermistor you have. B4138 is the default the config tool uses so is almost certainly not right for your setup. You probably should find out the correct values for your thermistor (for both hotend and bed).
                                  Having said that, it should only affect how accurate the measured temperature is (and probably won't make much difference at lower temperatures used by the bed).

                                    @engikeneer The thermistor for my Keenovo pad is an NTC100K if that helps.
                                    Also note, the heated bed size is 300x300.

                                      Chances are the B value should be B3950 in that case.

                                            Not surprising...

                                            M563 P0 S"MYTHprint" D0 H1 F0
                                            M563 P0 D0 H1 F0

                                            You have configured Tool 0. There is no Tool 1.

                                            Although I'm not sure why you are getting the fan running when the heater is.

                                            Also you have a random H without a value:

                                            M106 P1 S1 H T45

                                            Doubt it's causing the problem, but can't hurt to fix.

                                            Isolate, substitute, verify.
