      M584 X0 Y1 Z2:3 E4.5

      E4.5 is wrong you want E4:5

      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 🙂

          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?

            M913
            Motor current % of normal - X:100, Y:100, Z:100, E: 100:100

            M906
            Motor current (mA) - X:600, Y:600, Z:750, E:1600:1600, idle factor 30%

            are my extruder and Z axis somehow mixed up? the printer prints fine, just that one z motor getting hot

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

              M112 is emergency stop.

              M122 is diagnostic report.

              Painfully close, I know.

                should I updates? - do I lose my settings if I do?

                it used to print fine... so I'm assuming I accidentally broke something, but I'm lost

                  Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
                  Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
                  Firmware Version: 2.02(RTOS) (2018-12-24b1)
                  WiFi Server Version: 1.22
                  Web Interface Version: 1.22.6

                  I've added a fan to that stepper for tonight, printer is at work, it's 11.30pm, i need to go home! butr also need some things printing asap so I'll leave it going with then fan 🙂

                  I'll check back tomorrow, thanks for the help

                  Alan 🙂

                  EDIT: ran these again before I go

                  11:28:37 PMM906
                  Motor current (mA) - X:600, Y:600, Z:750, E:1600:0, idle factor 30%
                  11:28:30 PMM913
                  Motor current % of normal - X:100, Y:100, Z:100, E💯100

                  that stepper is still heating up, not sure if it's relevant but it's the one plugged into the driver, not the one plugged into the standard driver

                  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 E4.5

                    So 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.
                    Example

                    M584 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.

                          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

                              @alanknight said in one Z stepper getting very hot, other fine?:

                              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 height

                              What 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
