Filament usage / Completion estimates not working?
-
Hi - just got everything set up on my Maestro, all working well except the filament usage and % complete is broken for some reason. It has a number for total filament that will be used during the print (pulled from the gcode file), but it is not adding up the used filament properly. Here is a picture at the end of the print, showing a negative value for filament used!!
Although it shows 100% now, during the actual print it typically hovers at a very low number. When I was printing a calibration cube earlier, it was stuck on 0% (probably on -ve used, but didnt know to check then)
Any ideas??
Edit: Latest stable firmare -
What is the DWC version? What slicer? Can you supply the gcode file in question?

Upgraded firmware to latest, so 2.05. Using Prusa slic3r. Gcode, same issue with many models but copied are the start and end portions of one I tried:
