Disable a specific drive during a print?
-
I have a very long print running right now and someone from the news media is about to arrive at my house to report an unrelated project, but I'm probably going to wind up showing them my big printer too. The thing is I'm getting a heater fault on Drive 3 (which is one of the four extruders) and I can see upon inspection that it's a failing bearing on the Titan Aero extruder (the "bearing-gate" issue strikes again, as well as Murphy).
That tool is P1 and is defined as follows in config.g:
M563 P1 D0:1:2:3 H1:2:3:4 F0:3:5:7; Define tool 1 (P1) to use drives 0, 1, 2, and 3, and heaters 1,2 ,3, and 4. G10 P1 S0 R0 X0 Y0 ; set tool 1 temperatures and offsetsAnd in the gcode starting script (in Simpify) I have this:
M567 P1 E1.0:1.0:1.0:1.0 ;Set mix ratio to 1:1:1:1I'm thinking there must be a gcode commad I can send to turn off (not just stop) ONLY D3 during the print. Obviously the part that that extruder is working on will fail but I'd rather not risk burning out drive 3 on the Duet.
Any quick advice?

@justine-haupt Unless someone else comes up with anything, I'd have thought that if you send M567 P1 E1.0:1.0:1.0:0.0 through the console, that should effectively turn off that extruder.
Edit. Or M563 D0:1:2

Can you just use M84 E(what ever drive number) to turn off that drive?
-
@timcurtis67 I'd have thought that would work too.

Gah I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks.
Actually I got an external fan going and I think it'll be okay until the print finishes anyway.

@justine-haupt Time for some Bondtech BMGs ??

Very cool project by the way. When I saw your name on the news I said "Hey I know her!! (from the internet anyway)".
I hope showing off the printer went well.
