Sorry about the delay in this testing... my Hemera gear broke, then we moved to another city and it took me a while to get the printer going again.

But, that said, I'm having more problems even with the the command changed to S0 for debugging.. I'm still getting pauses for extruder not working. I have commented out the line because I'd really like to at least get a print going. But if there is anything I can check or do, I'm open for suggestions.

Well, it will be a bit... Hemera gear broke today.

Sorry about that. I went in and changed it to S0, and I guess I forgot to uncomment the line.
I’ll hopefully get some useful data tomorrow.

Thanks! I’ll make that change, and hopefully it does collect some good data that can help. I really do want this to work.

Filasturder order #53356

Here is my config.g.
I'm running a direct drive setup with an E3D Hemera. I have sort of a double sleeve going for the cables, and that lets me have the wires for the filament monitor running in parallel, but not absolutely against the other wires. It's sort of visible in one of the pictures above. Not really sure how else to do it in a direct drive setup.

If you think you can fix the issue with firmware, that is great. but at this point I have almost no fait that the filament monitor I have is reliable. while I have gotten some prints finished without it pausing, they are the minority. overall its been an unpleasant experience with near constant pauses and ruined prints.

Like I said, I'm willing to try to get this working. but I'm not willing to keep with the current way this is going. I need to be printing parts that have been ordered. So, for now, the monitor is disconnected. I've been playing this the way Duet3D says I have to, but I'd have returned this for another one or my money back a month ago if I could. Overall, this product and its implementation seems more like a beta product than a premium product ready to go off the shelf.

OK. I'm done. I can't print with this thing. Its constant pauses for random "too much" "not enough" "not working". Here are the M122's that I'm able to get today. either let me return it and try another one, or give me something else to try. But as of now, I'm disabling the filament monitor and unplugging it. I have prints that need printed so I can get paid. Constant pausing due to my filament monitor is unacceptable, especially for a monitor that I paid premium money for.

I’m having trouble doing “a lot of printing with the monitor” due to the pauses. I’ll try to get something today, but this is super frustrating.

So, if nobody has any other suggestions for me to try, can I return this and get another one? Or will I need to find a different filament sensor to try that doesn’t cost so much that wont pause my prints for unknown reasons.....

I don’t want to give up on it, but I’ve been fighting this for too long with zero progress. I can’t keep having my prints pause for no reason, its lowering my productivity and costing me money.

I tried disconnecting the LCD, and was able to get 88% of a print done before it paused.

If you think it will help, I could unplug the display and see if that helps. I only use it as a display, and not to control the printer.

No, I’m using a. Maestro with the LCD 12864F-3.

But, at this point, with the AGC still showing good, I think it’s just got something wrong with the brains of the thing.

I wish that it at least kept the calibration data from before a pause. Or gave some data about the pause. But it deletes it all and makes trouble shooting it from a logical data driven method near impossible.

No, I get them several times a day.

It’ll work great for multiple prints, then pause a 3 hour print 5 times.

70% to 130%

Update the firmware.
I keep getting random pauses from “too much” or “too little” movement. Though they aren’t as common as the good old “ sensor not working”. My AGC is still in the low 90’s. And every time I check the status of the monitor(while its working) the results are between 99% and 103%.

Honestly, it’s causing more problems than its worth. If I can’t get it to stop pausing my prints, I’ll need to find a more reliable monitor.

Ok. I’ll update the firmware.

So, got more pauses and an “Extruder 0 report sensor not working” error. It’s otherwise working great. But, not sure what to do. Having my printer stop because of the sensor is getting frustrating.
