Problems with tool selection
-
Hi all
I use a cartesian style mendelmax 1.5
When I start a print it works fine, the machine homes then it probes the bed next it waits for temps to be reached and it starts printing.
Phenomenal really never had prints turn out this great.However, when a print fails like yesterday and i clean the bed to restart it (print didnt stuck on the bed) it does the same home, probe, but it does not wait for the printhead to reach temp.
Instead the web interface gives me an AJAX error and the printer starts dancing around on the bed.When scouring these forums i found this could have to do with the tool selection, also i found that when you have T0 in your config.g you should start your Gcode for the print with T0 fololowed by M116
I did this but im still having problems with restarting the prints.
Also i updated to the 116 firmware along with the other 2 and did the command for updating it all at once.
Now in the firmware tab on the webinterfac it still states the webcontrol as 1.12 instead of 1.13Could someone give me some advice on this?

Your starting gcode looks OK and ought to work. Are you sure that the prints that failed had the T0 and M116 commands in the starting gcode?
I changed the behaviour in version 1.17RC1 to auto-select tool 0 if the slicer issues an M109 command without bothering to select a tool first.

yeah i read that in the other thread.
i was really doubting this part
"
T0
M116
M109 S245 ; wait for temperature to be reached
"Since the M109 S245 came after M116
This Gcode i downloaded this morning from the printer after it failed yesterday evening, there's only one Gcode on it right now.
Maybe its worth to mention i keep the bed on after the failed print so the bed is up to temp when restarting the print.Also a few times i got the error that extrusion was prevented because of cold hotend and after this i changed the starting G-code to what you see here.
could you also elaborate why my firmware is telling me i run the 1.12 version of the web interface while i uploaded the 1.13 version ? should i just try to do the update again ?
Also thanks again !

The M116 should not be necessary in your case because the M109 comes after it. But I have seen cases where the slicer generate the only M104 and M109 commands before the user's custom start gcode. That's why I suggested the M116.
If DWC is reporting that its version is 1.12 and you have already done a page refresh and tried clearing your browser cache, then try uploading 1.13 again. It takes several minutes to install on the Duet WiFi. The blue LED on the wifi module will stop flashing when it has finished installing.

I just updated
WiFi Server Version: 1.03 (ch fork)
Web Interface Version: 1.13Somehow they both didn't get through last time i tried.
Also did an update to the RC1 version, testing it now. -
Ok its awesome now!
A big thank you for the help!
