Duet wifi: printer stalls/stops, no errors
-
just did another test: still the same. In the printing module, the layertime keeps counting though. Maybe another clue of some sort.
Also after a firmware reflash: still the same thing
-
I just tried printing your file and it stopped at height 0.3mm. I'm still trying to work out why.
I noticed something odd with that GCode file. You appear to be using firmware retraction, yet the slicer is generating Z hop around the travel moves. Normally if you are using firmware retraction, you should configure the Z hop in the M207 command, not in the slicer.

More progress. I noticed that your MaxReps figure was very high (over 900), and on investigation I found that you are using x256 microstepping. A MaxReps figure over 50 is not advisable. So I changed the X and Y microstepping back to x16 with interpolation (after the M92 command, so that the steps/mm gets adjusted properly). Now the print no longer stalls at 0.3mm. As I write this, the print has reached 4.15mm and is still going.
There is still a bug for me to investigate, because even with MaxReps far too high the print shouldn't stall. However, I suspect that your print will complete if you reduce microstepping.
I may eventually implement dynamically varying microstepping, so that you can select x256 and it will be reduced automatically when the speed is high enough to make the step rate too high. But for now I suggest you reduce microstepping. The default of x16 with interpolation works well for most people, but try x32 or x64 instead if you like.

@dc42 you really rock! Thanks for your help, it was driving me mad here haha
It still is very weird that it does print a few layers very nicely (that's how i think i managed to get those numbers so high, it printed fine). Will try your solution now asap. -

-
@t3p3tony it not even might be, they are. However, the feedback i got from printing was a bit mixed. I had one which only did the first layer outline before just stopping. I'm now trying dc42 his solution, see what it brings.
-
Yeah i am sure @dc42's solution is the way to go. I just meant that it could be that the reason it made it part way into the print was that the early layers were printed slower.
-
@t3p3tony it does call for some testing, doesn't it?
After the mount for my psu and my xcarrage has finished, i'll see what happens if i thinker with the layerspeed at 256 microstepping. -
@dc42 your solution is confirmed, tried it on the same file again i sended you, it now continues

I seem to be having the same issue. First it only happened in the first few layers like in the pictures. Usually in the same spot but not always. I was generally able to just restart the print and have it work fine. However, I just lost one halfway through. The printer just stops, heater and fans are still running and the web interface thinks that the print is still running. It give me the option to pause but nothing happens. Very weird. I have included an m122 readout below. I will reduce the microstepping as you suggest. Just doing my part to help diagnose.

I believe this issue is fixed in the 2.0beta series firmware. Bete 3 seems to be stable with no known bugs, so please try that version.
