printed lots in the past no problem... added a z probe (ir one) and now my second Z stepper motor is getting really hot... hot enough that it melted and deformed the acrylic that it's fixed to
I thought it was a bad motor, bought another printer just to swap the motor and that bit of acrylic over... but it's still getting hot
I'm not using bed leveling or mesh compensation etc.
I'm stuck, any ideas? only thing I can think is either it always got this hot and I didn't notice (I don't think so) or I've changed some setting by accident?
here's my config file...

If you send M906 and M913 in the console it should report back what the current is set to and any percentage scaling being applied. See if they match what you have in config.g incase they are being modified at some point after startup or not applied correctly.
What is the rated max current of the motors? 60-85% of the rated max for the motor is recommended.

@alanknight said in one Z stepper getting very hot, other fine?:
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4.5
E4.5 is wrong you want E4:5
-
I set it printing and it was a bit hot... thought I'd leave it a min, came back after washing my hands, touched it and it sizzled where my hands were wet
I'll let it cool and then try again, the M906 and M913 commands and fix the E4.5 to E4:5
(E is extruder and a seperate problem yeah?)
-
just turned it on, not printing

I'm clutching at straws... but is there a chance one stepper isn't dropping back to idle power levels when it's supposed to?

my bad, I read that wrong, M584 is for z axis only, fixed it, I'll let it cool and set it printing again
thanks guys

printing now again... it's hot as hell again

Does anything show in M122?
I see you're running a pretty old firmware version. I don't think there were any bugs like this, but you never know. You could try upgrading to 2.02 and seeing if it makes any difference.
Just to clarify, you fixed the error Veti pointed out, does M906 and M913 report both Z motors now? Just want to verify that your extruder is the one getting 1600 and not the second Z motor.

M112 runs an emergency stop?

(I added a space after E: to avoid the smilie)

M112 is emergency stop.
M122 is diagnostic report.
Painfully close, I know.

I'll check back tomorrow, thanks for the help

EDIT3: 40mm fan is screaming but stepper is getting hotter than I expected... I'll hut the printer down, don't want it to overheat while I'm gone

; Motor remapping for dual Z
M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4.5So I think this was the root of your problem as Veti pointed out. Part of the problem was the period instead of colon, but there's more to it that just that. The command must come earlier in config.g than where you have it.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mapping
Order dependence
M584 must come earlier in config.g than any M350 and M906 commands. If it creates new axes, it must also be earlier than any M92, M201, M203, M208, M350, M566, M574 , M667 and M669 commands.
ExampleM584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4:5:6 ; Driver 0 controls the X motor, 1 controls Y, 2 and 3 control Z motors, 4 5 and 6 control E motors
VERY IMPORTANT! Assigning a drive using M584 does not remove its old assignment. Therefore, if you assign a drive that defaults to being an extruder drive, you should also assign the extruder drives explicitly as in the above example. Failure to do so may result in unexpected behaviour.You need to move your M584 command up above the M350 command. Sorry. I should have caught that sooner.

thanks for all the help
EDIT: it's about an hour into a print, all steppers nice and cool, thanks again for the help
-
Glad that's sorted out.
-
What was happening is that when the M906 command was executed, the motor connected to E1 output was configured as an extruder, so it got 1600mA. That's why we say that M584 must come before M906. Similarly for M350.
-
no more hot motors... but I think I've messed something else up, the auto bed leveling doesn't work anymore (or maybe updating firmware broke something?)
to be fair, I was still fine tuning it, I think my bed has sagged a little in the middle, I'm using a buildtac bed (the magnetic one you can lift the tray off) which might throw it off a little too
when I try to run auto bed leveling, or mesh grid leveling the Z comes down, hits the bed and doesn't stop till the motors stall
it doesn't move X/Y at all, here's my config file

M558 P1 H5 F120 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds
G31 P400 X40 Y0 Z-4 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger heightWhat type of Z probe are you using? The Z-4 parameter in your G31 line says that it triggers when the nozzle is 4mm below the bed, which surely isn't right. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe to calibrate the trigger height.
-
IR probe, from the duet3d website
I'll swap that -4 to a 4, that's probably my mistake!
I fell on my head 3 years ago, left me with a bit of brain damage, I make silly mistakes like that and then can't see them no matter how much I look
thanks again for the help, it's printing right now, I'll give it a try when it's finished
Alan
EDIT: it's still printing, watching it print the z probe reads 535 when it's over what it's printing
I'm thinking that must be the perfect height? - it's reading the high of the last layer it's printing ontop of.... so I can set the z trigger to 535 and z height above nozzle to 0 ?
EDIT: it's not just a Z problem, X moves too far left and crashes into the end stop too... it ignores the end stop and tires to power through
-
I fixed it...I had z probe offset at 40 when it should have been -40
had to add some Y offset too
thanks
Alan
