Heating issues
-
The biggest issue before with the heaters was the supply voltage being too low.
I now have a power supply for this retrofit that has 24V.
Heaters can now be tuned and reach the desired temperature.
Running some test prints for microstep tuning, but I am receiving a heater fault on the extruder heater when the printed part begins.
It will reach temperatures; print the raft I have set. Begin the cube test print, then give me this fault."Heater 0 fault : exceeded allowed temperature excursion: target 254 deg C actual 237.8 deg C."
How can I remove this fault from happening? I understand M570 can change the fault parameters, but why would I be losing that much temperature during the print?

@djthuma Does the fan come on at that point and the heater can't keep up?
Did you use M303 H1 or M303 T0 to tune the hotend? -

Hang on, are you saying you were running a 12v power supply before and now you've put in 24v?
Are the heaters 24v as well?

This could be because you're putting 24v into a 12v heater, which is very dangerous.

The heater is a 24V heater paired with the bondtech direct drive and mosquito magnum hotend. PT100 sensor. PT 100 daughterboard on a duet 2 wifi.I did tune both heaters. The fan does come on at the layer one as you described and I found a previous post saying that could cause some temp drop if not pointed at the print. I turned off the fan and did not receive the same error.
The other thing I did was tune the H0 to a higher temperature average because it was giving a error that the sensor couldn't reach temp.
I think these things will resolve the issue.

I am having an odd issue with the heater and fans.
When I begin heating the bed or extruder, the small fan on the extruder heat sink slows down.
Then when I am printing a calibration cube the extruder temp goes past the active set temperature.
I think theyre related.I have that fan set on an always on output, so it is not controlled by thermostat.

Is your power supply struggling to keep up?
Monitor the voltage with a multimeter durings these times and see if it holds steady at 24v, or if it droops.

The power supply is dropping to about 18 V when I turn on the extruder heater or bed heater.It is a 24 V power supply, heater and bed heater.
So I am not sure why it is dropping voltage.
-
@djthuma, you are drawing more power than the power supply is able to support (either that or it is a defective power supply)

Thank you for the advice!
I feel dumb, but I forgot to switch my new power supply to 110V for US.
So it would drop voltage when operating, expecting 220 input.
Retuning heaters now.
Should be a resolved issue! Thanks again!

D'oh!
Easy mistake to make. Ask me how I know.
