Printer takes 5/10 minutes to start the end code
-
Hi everyone, after around 7/8 prints with my new Duet wifi board it was the first time that I actually saw the printer finishing a print and I realize that after the last layer the printer takes 5/10 minutes to execute the end code which explains why I have been getting a bit of damaged plastic in the top of every print my end code is this one:
G91 ;relative positioning
G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure
G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000 ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more
G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
M84 ;steppers off
M104 S0 ;extruder heater off
M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it)
G90 ;absolute positioningThis was the one that I used in my previous board as well and It worked more than fine

G91 does not change the extruder mode to relative, you need to use M83 to do that.

To elaborate on what @burtoogle has said. If you were using absolute for the print, then sending G1 E-1 will retract all the filament that was used during the print (since the extruder was zeroed) plus another 1mm and at 5mm/sec (300mm/min) that's going to take some time. If you want retract just 1mm, of filment then you need to set the extrusion to relative mode before issuing the E-1 command.
As an aside, sending M84 will turn off all stepper motors, not just the extruders, which will mean that before you can print another part you'll have to re-home all the axes. If you don't want to have to do that, then send M82 E0 will turn off just the extruder motor (assuming you only have one extruder).

@deckingman @burtoogle Understood now, thank you folks.
