Solved Extruder set point limited to 270c
-
I have a custom printer with a Duet wi-fi board installed. I have added the expansion Pt-100 board to print at high temp. I have printed CF PEEK in the past at 400c at the nozzle. But it has been a year or so since I printed at these temps. Today I was heating up to print Ultem 1010 380c but the nozzle temperature stops at 270c. Please see below the version information and the code in the System editor/ config.g/ heaters. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Have a great day.
Carl

@CarlBosson can you post your full config.g?
Also post the output ofM98 P"config.g"
You also may want to consider updating from RRF2 to RRF3 https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Migration_RRF2_to_RRF3 -
@CarlBosson Does it generate a temperature or heater error? What are the active and standby temperatures you are setting? Maybe the tool isn't selected and 270C is the standby temperature? If you watch the temperature graph, does it struggle to get to 270C (would indicate a voltage/current issue), or does it go straight up to 270 and hold that temperature?

Ian,
There is no error and I did not have a standby temperature selected so that value was set to zero. the temperature climbs rapidly to about 250c then slowly levels out at 270c. Another interesting thing just happened. The first time I tried to heat up to 380c it leveled out at 300c the second time at 270c the third time at 250c. I have not tried again as I was waiting for feedback. Thank you for your help.Carl

@CarlBosson you seem to be defining the same X200 PT100 to heater 1 and then again to heater 2. I think that's causing an issue. Could you try commenting out the 2 lines for H2?

@jay_s_uk
Please understand I am not the code expert all this has been done with help from this fourm. I thought M143 H1 was for the extruder, and M143 H2 was for the heated bed? But I will absolutely do as you suggest.
"Could you try commenting out the 2 lines for H2?" Do you mean remove these lines of code? -

M143 H2 S200 ;Set temperature limit to 200cyou seem to have 2 hotends defined (H1 and H2) but only 1 assigned to a tool.
comment out these 2 lines by adding a ;

I have never seen a heating element fail in this manor before, but it looks like I let some of the smoke out. I will have replacement elements today and will replace tommrow. Once this is done I will report back. Thank you for your help.Carl

@jay_s_uk
It turns out, I have still never seen a heating element fail in this manor. The problem was a loose connection. I have a small two pole screw terminal connecting the heating element in the hot end back to the control board. As I began to disassemble the hot end I found the loose terminal connection. It is heating and controlling as it should at 400 deg. C. You can mark this one solved! Thanks for all the help.Carl
