Tevo Tornado Cura Duet Temperature reset and fan control issue
-
Have a Duet Wifi that I put on a Tevo Tornado.
(why? I don't have a good reason)
Wired up correctly (everything works up to a point).
used this guide and config file, all settings make sense to me and all controls from the GUI work as they should.I can give advice on all the rewiring that needs done in this transition.. it is quite a big project, but not hard.
fan0 (part cooler) ON all the time (by design I believe)
fan1 ( hot end cooler) thermostatically controlled.fan test - fan0 works as the test says, fan1 never comes ON
give it something to print --> starts normally... then
it gives the message:
warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault... and so the nozzle heater quits and the print fails as it cools down, ALSO, after it transitions to print - the default ON part cooler fan goes OFF (then comes back on after you quit the print, and stays on during all non-printing times).
A picture of the evolution.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
UPDATE = I did notice the fan at 0% in the picture... so I went and manually adjusted... now realizing what is happening is that hot end temperature setting and part cooling fan setting are somehow getting clobbered to 0 when print command given... the fan is set to 0 immediately and the hot end changes to 0 after it reaches the setpoint to print and starts to print. I immedately reset them to the desired settings and the error message did not come in.... so it looks to be more of a setting preservation issue as the error code was probably triggering from the change in hot end temperature? -
Yeah, if I'm reading it right and your parts cooling fan was coming on as part of thermostatic control it will flag you that the hotend isn't coming up to temp since you have something blowing on it.
I have my hotend fan to come on at 50C and always have thermostatic OFF on the parts cooler fan.
Although it's not this issue, you might want to insulate your hotend if you haven't already with a silicone boot or ceramic cotton- do a auto PID tune if you do put something on it.
Post your config g. file.

Can you confirm that the part cooler is plugged into fan 0 and hot end fan connected to fan 1?
Also I wasn't able to get the config link to load from that website. Can you post the actual contents of your config.g to check over?

In your config your hotend fan (P1) is monitoring heaters 0 and 1. (H0:1) This should be H1 , so its monitoring hotend only.

Thank you for the responses.
I followed the suggestion from Phaedrux. The behavior did not change. After the hot end reaches temperature (after the print command is given).... it resents to 0 and cools down and fails.; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 1.21) ; executed by the firmware on start-up ; ; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v2 on Wed Feb 06 2019 19:48:45 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) ; General preferences G90 ; Send absolute coordinates...

You have 3 fans it looks like the third has a ; this will ignore that line.
The first fan what is that? you have a setting of s0.3 that will reduce it's max speed to 30% and will probably conflict with print G-code and possibly cause it to run all the time.
Have you attempted to PID tune?What are your voltages during warm up?
What is your start g. in the slicer?
Your parts cooler fan should remain OFF until the G-code commands it on- if it's on all the time you have a configuration issue.
Which looking you have H0:1 I don't know if that is an actual setting as mine is H1
Also your parts cooler should be S0, not S0.3This is my config

... and so the nozzle heater quits and the print fails as it cools down, ALSO, after it transitions to print - the default ON part cooler fan goes OFF (then comes back on after you quit the print, and stays on during all non-printing times).Please post your slicer start GCode, also the first 50 or so non-comment lines of the file you are trying to print.
Your fan configuration in config.g looks OK to me.

It looks like config-override.g is being loaded (M501 at the end of config.g) can you post the contents of that as well? I'm guessing it will just have PID tuning values for your heaters.
What slicer are you using? Do you have any layer change gcode configured? Seeing an actual sliced gcode file as David has requested will be helpful.

this block appears to hold the issue? -
@culbert425 It would appear that you're not using the right place holders for Cura to interpret. Or rather, it looks like maybe you've got the wrong bracket type. I think Cura might use curly brackets {} instead of square brackets [].

Part cooler fan not on at beginning of print
Cura had a deep setting under cooling for first layer fan % - it was set a zero - this put a fan off command (M107) right before the print started... caused problems. Change that setting to non-zero. -
Changed title of this thread for next guy who Duets his Tornado and uses Cura. It's working like it should now and I don't have to fiddle with anything before I send prints. I have completed the Duet Tevo Tornado Cura transition. (I tried to put "solved" in the main thread title and it got flagged as spam).

Thank you folks in this thread for the help!
