thermistor noise
-
@T3P3Tony, I have a similar setup for 2 of the other tools. I have not tried to do anything with the other tools yet but will do so as soon as my current print job is finished. I will also test the hotend temperature when not printing at that time.
Thanks! -
@T3P3Tony, without printing, the graph is perfectly flat and the 'blips' are happening on the new tool as well.
-
@jens55 hmm that's with the tools hot, but not printing?
-
@T3P3Tony yes, the tool is parked but at operating temperature and the temperature graph is flat.
The new tool that is now printing has the blips on the temperature graph. -
@jens55 can you correlate that with a certain position of the print head?
-
@T3P3Tony, the object printed was about 80 mm cubed so there was only small x/y movement. Also, since a completely different tool had the same issue, I can't really see how position comes into the picture (since it can't be a loose connection for example). No, I can not correlate position and temperature blip.
For now I have increased my M570 parameters slightly to 15 degrees for 10 seconds and an R factor of 5 (up from 3). I am not quite clear about the R parameter but increased it a bit anyway. I would have thought that 10 seconds was a fairly large window where temperatures must deviate more than 15C and watching the actual temperature figure (ie not the graph) I did not notice a single temperature excursion of more than 15C that lasted anywhere near 10 seconds.I will also make a point of watching the temperature graph on my two other printers to see if they show the same behaviour.
I guess it is possible that the temperature faults I encountered were not related to the tiny 'blips' .....
-
Turns out that the noise is not present on a different printer. Watching the temperature reading when the noise blip happens shows about a 1.5C spike for less than maybe 1/2 a second. Since the temperature display update frequency is maybe 2 readings per second, the actual deviation could be bigger.
Very curious but that should not result in a temperature fault so I am assuming my previous heater faults were unrelated to these blips.
BTW, the board doing the blipping is a 6HC, the board that did not have the noise was a Duet2. -
I am sitting here and waiving a giant white flag ..... I give up
I tried out my third printer - totally flat temperature. I tried out my last tool on the printer with the noise issue - same thing. I wrapped a bare copper wire around the thermistor line and then wrapped that in aluminum foil and connected the bare drain wire to io2 gnd on my 1LC tool board ..... no change.
I upgraded the firmware from 3.5.0 rc2 to rc3 with no change noted (although I didn't expect a change)I have a nagging feeling that maybe the issue is related to the 1LC tool board and data being transferred on the CAN bus (since the two Duet2 printers do not have the issue). Of course I have nothing to back up that feeling ....
-
To confirm. on this machine, you have multiple tools, all of which display flat temperature graphs at any set temperature when they are not moving, but have these small blips when moving?
Are there any can bus errors reported?
(you can use M122 Bnn to get the reports from the boards)
-
@T3P3Tony .... yes, that is correct.
I don't know how applicable the following section of M122 is. The last print job was about 12 hours ago and when I do M122 now I get the following for the CAN section:

@jens55 please also send M122 Bnn where nn is the address of the tool that was used in tat print

@jens55 thanks, doe snot look like CAN bus errors.
-
@T3P3Tony, does 'hiccups 29242' not indicate issues of some kind?
-
woops did not see the hiccups as was just looking at the CAN
-
@jens55 yes possibly. what steps/mm are you running your extruder at?
-
@T3P3Tony
M92 E25.3:51.875:51.875:51.875
Note that prints were done on the first 3 boards. The first tool uses a different extruder from the other two but blips showed up just as they did on the other tools.The above was from config.g, below is what I get back from sending M92 to the printer:
m92
Steps/mm: X: 100.000, Y: 100.000, Z: 3200.000, U: 30.578, E: 404.800:830.000:830.000:830.000First extruder is an LGX, others are BMG clones
-
@jens55 can you try using 16 microstepping with interpolation (it looks like you are using 256 microstepping?) that could well be the issue with the hiccups.
-
@T3P3Tony , from config.g: M350 E16:16:16:16 I1 which I am interpreting as 16 microstepping.
-
are you running .9 degree steppers on the extruders?
