Printing temperature drops down

  • Pertti

    Hi dear friends! I use Cura to prepare gcodes. There the material's printing temperature is set to 250C. My printer starts nicely by 250C but after a while it drops to 200C. I have no idea where the 200C comes from.
    Here's config.g

    M305 P0 T100000 B4138 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
    M143 H0 S120 ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C
    M305 P1 T110000 B3950 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1 oli100000
    M143 H1 S290 ; set temperature limit for heater 1 to 280C
    M305 P2 T100000 B3950 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 2
    M143 H2 S290 ; set temperature limit for heater 2 to 280C

    check cura for first layer temperature and temperature.

    open the generated g code and look for M104 commands

    Also initial temperature is set to 260 (sorry, not 250 as above)

    Is it actually set to 200? Your chart looks like it may have had a temp excursion and then dropped. Do you see any errors in the gcode console?

    Can you share your full config.g and a sample gcode file?

    What firmware version and DWC version are you using?

    Please post the results of M122 and M98 P"config.g"

    One thing that would do this is the standby temperature. The machine is a dual-extruder. Now I used only E0 extruder.

    I also have problems with the thermistor, I think it gives too high values, 260C seems to be good for PLA, resistance at 26C is 108000 kOhm. That's why I want to have a higher temperature.

    For starters I suggest you update to firmware 2.05.1.

    Upload this zip file as is (don't extract it) to the /sys folder via DWC.

    https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip

    OK, firmware now 2.05.1. Thank's for smooth installing.
    I repeated printing, but sorry to say, nothing changed.temp4.JPG

    I can avoid the problem by writing lines M104 S250 to the Cura machine settings/extruder starting code.
    That means that I have to configure a new printer for every material, but that is actually good, because then you have all things set up for every material.

    Error: G10: Attempt to set/report offsets and temperatures for non-existent tool: 2
    The tool definitions are incorrect and may be part of the problem with cura. The second tool has a G10 targetting T2, but there is only T0 and T1. G10 P2 R140 That should be G10 P1 R140 S0 Plus you have a redundant tool command for T0 at the end.

M563 P0 D0 H1 ; tool 0 uses extruder 0, heater 1 (and fan 0)

    Your fan settings are unusual. You've defined fan0 and fan1 twice, but differently. The second definition overrides the first.

M106 P1 T45 H1

M106 P1 T45 B0.1 H1 ; enable thermostatic mode for fan 1
M106 P0 T45 B0.1 H1 ; enable thermostatic mode for fan 2

    Plus, the way you have the fans setup with fan0 and fan1 being thermostatically controlled, but your tool definition has fan0 as the part cooling fan. So you need to decide what your intention is and wire it correctly. Which fan is on which tool? Which fan is thermostatically controlled for a heatsink, and which is a part cooling fan.

    Your slicer start gcode sets temps using G10 P0 R140 S205 G10 P1 R140 S205 is that where you see the temp drop down? That would match your graph. Is that after you had made the change you mention?

    Thanks a lot, Phaedrux. You gave me a good lesson. I think I need a couple of days to handle this. Anyway, line "G10 P0 R140 S205 G10 P1 R140 S205" has been there before I changed machine settings in Cura. The temperature matches reality.
    The fans are something I need to take a look at. My previous board did not function these things at all, so I connected fans to the power supply.

    I think if you remove those G10 lines from your start gcode you will solve the temperature drop problem.
