Rotating Magnetic Sensor - Keeps Pausing Printer

@wouldstain also what results were you getting with PETG on the drywall insert?

Also looking at the PLA gcode you share, you are printing it at 235C.. have you had success with that temp for PLA in the past?

wouldstain

@t3p3tony I have had good results with PLA at higher temps.

I have tried printing at lower temps. the only difference on test / calibration prints seems to be the strength of interlayer adhesion.

I can certainly dial it down if you think it would make a difference.

wouldstain

@dc42 I normally have higher retraction distance and speed settings to reduce stringing on PETG, so aside from decreasing both while using PLA, really no difference.

I've tried printing PLA with higher temps (accounting for either toolsteel or hardened steel nozzle) but it doesnt seem to matter.

@JohnOCFII has the following in his prusa config:

{if printer_notes=~/.PRINTER_VENDOR_PRUSA3D./}M900 K45{else}M572 D0 S0.06{endif} ; Filament-specific Linear Advance or Pressure Advance

but I've also tried slicing with this commented out and gotten the same results.

@t3p3tony

about to run test @250C. Will post console output (assuming it pauses)

config.g attached. modified slightly from previous to account for addition of garolite sheet on build plate.

no i don't - that was just an question seeing it at 235.

wouldstain

@t3p3tony gotcha.
Just ran it at 250C. got this at less than 6%:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 26.50mm/rev, allow 1% to 200%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 130 agc 75, measured sensitivity 26.29mm/rev, min 1% max 107% over 136.1mm

same cube.

@wouldstain I printed that on the test rig:

That was before I got your config so i need to change to your config.

Can you try printing one of the drywall anchors in PLA with the PLA settings to see if you get the same issue (trying to see if its related to the PA/retract settings which are different). Also a short print to recreate the issue would be good.

T3P3Tony

I also need to switch the test rig back to Duet 2 from Duet 3 mini.

@t3p3tony

Drywall anchor @ 250C:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 26.50mm/rev, allow 1% to 200%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 130 agc 75, measured sensitivity 219.24mm/rev, min 6% max 128% over 19.5mm

only got about 2% into it before stopping.

PLA_250C_Drywall_Anchor.gcode

FYI also have PETG printing at -.15 offset via babysteps so I did reset it for PLA.

@wouldstain

My printer has (0,0) in the center.
Is there an easy way for me to provide an offset so I can try printing your .gcode?

Or can you slice it centered on (0,0) for me to test with?

wouldstain

@alankilian
Not sure how that would be possible as slicer is set up for my railcore rig.
Center is somewhere around 150,150.

wouldstain

@t3p3tony Ran another print at 195C just to test.
got about 60% through it then stopped:

@alankilian

@dc42 used this to offset the prints so they can br printed with e bed centered on 0,0

; Remove the following line if your bed isn't centred on X0 Y0
G10 L2 P1 X-150 Y-150

offsets the coordinate system by 150mm in both X and Y.

Use with caution!

T3P3Tony

@wouldstain thanks for the reports.

Can you confirm the changes between PETG and PLA in your setup:

Print temperature (don't think this matters as long as prints are working)
Print Speed?
Retraction distance (looks like 2mm in both files)?
PA setting? (looks like PLA = M572 D0 S0.06, PETG = M572 D0 S0.07?)
Anything else?

Cheers

@t3p3tony

Thanks for the offset infor.

Neither Sinplify3D nor my online GCODE viewer pay attention to G10, so I was unable to figure it out myself.

Printing PLA at 210C I get:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 28.80mm/rev, allow 60% to 160%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 130 agc 117, measured sensitivity 24.51mm/rev, min 94% max 113% over 171.5mm

T3P3Tony

@wouldstain tested this on a Duet 2 with my current config:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 24.78mm/rev, allow 0% to 150%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 132 agc 60, measured sensitivity 24.58mm/rev, min 96% max 110% over 190.2mm

Finished printing file 0:/gcodes/pla_250c_drywall_anchor.gcode, print time was 0h 14m

T3P3Tony

@wouldstain and now with your config (except for removing the bits that don't apply to the test rig):

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 26.50mm/rev, allow 1% to 200%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 131 agc 60, measured sensitivity 24.52mm/rev, min 95% max 111% over 190.2mm

Finished printing file 0:/gcodes/pla_250c_drywall_anchor.gcode, print time was 0h 14m

That is with a Hermera. I will switch back to the titan as well for a further test.

T3P3Tony

@wouldstain and now with the Titan:

Duet3D rotating magnet filament monitor v3 on pin e0stop, enabled, sensitivity 26.50mm/rev, allow 1% to 200%, check every 3.0mm, version 3, mag 129 agc 59, measured sensitivity 23.78mm/rev, min 95% max 106% over 180.9mm

Finished printing file 0:/gcodes/pla_250c_drywall_anchor.gcode, print time was 0h 14m

So can't reproduce this with your setup on my extruders. can you do me a favour and print a PETG print (the drywall anchor) and then print the PLA print (same as before) without making changes in between other than temperature an PA as needed and see if you get the differences you have seen earlier between PETG settings and PLA.

wouldstain

@T3P3Tony

Ran this using a different spool of PETG only because its what I had loaded this morning (Atomic Starry Night).

Temp
PETG: 235 start, 230 other layers
PLA: 235 start, 230 other layers
Print Speed:
PETG: 60 perim / 80 infill
PLA: 60 perim / 80 infill
Retraction settings:
PETG: 7mm / 25mm/sec
PLA: 2mm / 25mm/sec
PA settings (in this instance):
PETG: .06
PLA: .07
Z offset for PETG = -.15

Really not a lot of difference.

I have tried adjusting all of the above settings when printing with PLA with no improvement.

wouldstain

@wouldstain Was actually able to successfully print a drywall anchor in both PETG and PLA using the PETG setting (including Z offset) however, was unable to complete 20mm calibration cube in PLA using same settings.
