Tool was not driven

skayred

Hello,

Recently my printer started having problems during the print - extrusion manually works well but during the print, it extrudes just a bit in the beginning and stops everything else.

G-code console shows that error during the calibration:

Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault

While temperature is actually okay, stable 60 hotend and 80 bed. I believe it could be linked with non-extrusion during the print as Duet thinks that hotend is too cold.
Process I use is following - I heat up bed to 80C, then home, then hotend to 60C, then calibration, then hotend to desired temp (currently 240C).

PID calibration was done
Any ideas what could be wrong?

PS: I have tried to add the 4th tower for flying extruder recently, so I believe that could provoke a problem but I have no idea where to start.

droftarts

@skayred What firmware version are you running? Send M115 and post response.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with your config.g, except that your heater tuning isn't in config.g. Can you post your config-override.g? You have M501 at the end of config.g to load it, and any heater tuning will be in that.

When you start a print, what temperatures do you see? Can you start a print, let it fail, then take a screenshot of the DWC?

Ian

skayred

@droftarts hello, please find screenshots attached: priner§1.png

So, it basically starts complaining about the temperature right at the beginning of calibration but plot shows stable picture

Also, config override and firmware version attached to the first message

droftarts

@skayred I think it's happening because the hot end is quite slow to heat, so the calibration finishes and the print starts before the hot end has got to temperature. Did it used to heat up quicker? Check wiring and connections, or possibly check if the heater is failing.

There are some warnings before the calibration, which may mean that you have an extruder move in bed.g (or however else you're invoking the calibration), but maybe pressure advance is trying to make the extruder move for some reason.

Cold extrusion can be enabled, see M302, but is set to disallow any extrusion under 160C. Though I'm not sure you'd want to enable cold extrusion.

Another option would be to set hot end temperature and wait, using M109 rather than M104, rather than continuing with calibration. Perhaps also re-run the heater tuning with M303 and see if it has changed.

Can you post the file 'cube-20.gcode', so I can see what's happening at the beginning?

Probably not hugely important, but you have commented out your M584 command in config.g, however you're using the default mapping, so shouldn't matter. Also, your endstop configuration M574 still includes a U endstop.

Ian

skayred

@droftarts well, warnings appear only after 60C was reached and calibration was started, nothing before - on the second screenshot, you can see warnings for each bed touch (I have piezo sensors under).

About waiting - I also use it, so temperature is reached before any following actions will be done.
Tuning of the PID I have made right before making the experiment.
M584 is commented out to keep the 4th tower non-activated for some time, there is some mechanical problems.

But most importantly, that problem started to appear only after I have made some settings for 4th tower, so I am thinking that it actually could be linked with tool numbering or some other settings that were default and now require additional parameters (maybe heater/thermistor)

Gcode:
cube-20.gcode

dc42

@skayred said in Tool was not driven:

M665 L209.000:209.000:209.000:110.000 R90.873 H203.217 B100.0 X-0.717 Y-0.982 Z0.000

That line in your config-override.g says there are 4 towers; but you have commented out the M584 command that defined the driver for it. So I think it's trying to use the extruder at the 4th tower.

droftarts

@skayred This is your gcode up to when it's printing the outline around the cube:

G1 X4.750 Y9.750 F225

Looking at your gcode, there's only G32 (which should call bed.g) and G29 (which starts bed mesh), none of which should cause extruder movement. So, going back to config.g, can you try changing the following:
Add M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 (to make sure you drives map correctly)
Remove 'U16' from M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 U16 I1 (configuring microstepping for non-existent axis)
Remove ':1' from M572 D0:1 S0.75 (pressure advance enabled for non-existent extruder drive)
Remove 'U2' M574 X2 Y2 Z2 U2 S1 (endstop for non-existent axis)

I'd expect one of the above to be causing the hiccup, but not sure which!

Edit: and what @dc42 said above! Missed that one...

Ian

skayred

@dc42 hmm, thats quite curious as in both files I commented out 4th tower arm length, seems like calibration uses it, but where it gets that information?

Possibly defining the M350 microsteps would be enough.

Ian

skayred

@droftarts still no luck, same warnings still there, as well as 4th tower arms length

dc42

What's in your bed.g file?

Did you restart after deleting the M665 line in config-override.g?

droftarts

@skayred Did you reset after changing config.g and override-config.g? Can you post your current versions of both?

Delta parameters in config-override.g should change from:

(or delete it, as @dc42 suggests)

Ian

skayred

@dc42 @droftarts I have commented out that line and restarted, but seems like file is regenerated after the calibration. Bed.g:

@skayred So likely something in your config.g is still creating the 4th axis. Please post current config.g.

If you reboot (with the M665 line in config-override.g removed) and then send M665 without parameters, does it report 3 rod lengths or 4?

skayred

@dc42 3 length reported in that case.

dc42

If you now run auto calibration, does it report 3 or 4 after that?

skayred

@dc42 Surprisingly 3 lengths still o_O While config-override is not updated
