    • RE: How to turn off heater fault detection (chocolate printer)

      Thank's for all your replys. Yes, the fault was always due to the slowly rising temperature (~1°C per 20s). The two heat mats are wrapped around a stainless container and are defined together as one tool (M563 P1 S"Extruder-Links" D0 H3:4 F-1 X3)
      I had some troubles with auto tuning off the weak heater (5W). It failed due to a bad curve fit (A=17, C=231, D=1.7). The 30W heater was tuning fine at the first try.
      After changing the heater model (M307) manually to the parameters of the failed auto tune, it finally succeeded the auto tuning procedure. The auto tuner algorithm then calculated M307 H2 A11.4 C129.7 D4.1 S1.00 V23.8 B0
      I'm quite happy that I didn’t have to dive into my control theory lessons again to try it manually with Ziegler Nichols after a few years ^^

      The Heater fault parameters are now set to M570 P3600 T100 and it's heating without any faults. Thanks for that hint 😃

      Despite the success, there's still a problem to solve. I'm using the chamber heater for the cooling compressor in bang bang mode. But the hysteresis is so small that it's restarting the compressor all the time and that's reducing it's lifetime drastically. Isn't it possible to adjust the hysteresis to +-1 degree instead of the 1/10 degree as default? Sure, I could mount the air sensor to a thermal mass but then it's not as responsive anymore.

      Sadly, I'm not allowed to show you the printhead in detail at the moment but here is a picture of the idex research machine we're currently building and a youtube video of the predecessor single head machine. As soon as it's declassified I'll do a "my duet machine" blog post. Simplified it’s a melting chamber on top and some auger to extrude it. However, that’s where the magic happens 😉

      Thank you verry much for your support and keep going your exellent work! Makes me feel proud that that's all done with free soft- and hardware (big duet sticker on the controller side =P)

    • RE: Compressor via thermostatic fan (3HC) not working after upgrade

      Hi Phaedrux

      Sorry for the late reply. Covid restrictions ^^

      Yes I can confirm that both are running now on 3.2 without any errors. I had to change the Duet3 board after upgrading due to the diode manufacturing problem and probabbly while upgrading the new board something got mixed up. You can mark the thread as solved.

      Thanks for your support!

    • RE: Compressor via thermostatic fan (3HC) not working after upgrade

      Hi dc

      Thanks for your input. It reported some CAN Bus errors. I set the CAN adress of the extension board to 0000 and then I guess it pulled the new firmware. After restarting the errors where gone. I thought that shouldn't be an issue, because the steppers and endstop inputs where working propperly on that board.

      Thanks for your fast reply!

      Errors returned from M98 P"config.g"
      Error: M584: Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6042, RID=36
      Error: M350: Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6042, RID=37
      Error: M92: Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6042, RID=38
      Error: M906: Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6043, RID=39
      Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6043, RID=40
      Response timeout: CAN addr 1, req type 6043, RID=41

    • Compressor via thermostatic fan (3HC) not working after upgrade

      Dear Duet community

      I've been running a cooling compressor to cool our printchamber (Chocolat Printer as university research project) for a half a year without any troubles with the below attached config.g. We're using a Duet 3 with extension board 3HC and a SBC attached. The complicated solution via a thermostatic controlled fan output was neccessary at that time due to the need for hysteresis. If a cooling compressor gets turned on and off all the time it cut's down seriously on its lifetime. Now after a firmwareupgrade from 3.01RC12 to 3.2 the compressor is not working anymore. I would appreciate if anyone could get some inputs where that problem could come from or if I missed an entry in the changelogs. I searched allready a few hours but couldn't find the problem till now. Hardware shouldn't be an issue, all wiring doublechecked. I have two identical printers, one with 3.01 RC12 and one with 3.2.

      Thanks for any hints!

    • RE: How to turn off heater fault detection (chocolate printer)

      Thank's for all your replys. Yes, the fault was always due to the slowly rising temperature (~1°C per 20s). The two heat mats are wrapped around a stainless container and are defined together as one tool (M563 P1 S"Extruder-Links" D0 H3:4 F-1 X3)
      I had some troubles with auto tuning off the weak heater (5W). It failed due to a bad curve fit (A=17, C=231, D=1.7). The 30W heater was tuning fine at the first try.
      After changing the heater model (M307) manually to the parameters of the failed auto tune, it finally succeeded the auto tuning procedure. The auto tuner algorithm then calculated M307 H2 A11.4 C129.7 D4.1 S1.00 V23.8 B0
      I'm quite happy that I didn’t have to dive into my control theory lessons again to try it manually with Ziegler Nichols after a few years ^^

      The Heater fault parameters are now set to M570 P3600 T100 and it's heating without any faults. Thanks for that hint 😃

      Despite the success, there's still a problem to solve. I'm using the chamber heater for the cooling compressor in bang bang mode. But the hysteresis is so small that it's restarting the compressor all the time and that's reducing it's lifetime drastically. Isn't it possible to adjust the hysteresis to +-1 degree instead of the 1/10 degree as default? Sure, I could mount the air sensor to a thermal mass but then it's not as responsive anymore.

      Sadly, I'm not allowed to show you the printhead in detail at the moment but here is a picture of the idex research machine we're currently building and a youtube video of the predecessor single head machine. As soon as it's declassified I'll do a "my duet machine" blog post. Simplified it’s a melting chamber on top and some auger to extrude it. However, that’s where the magic happens 😉

      Thank you verry much for your support and keep going your exellent work! Makes me feel proud that that's all done with free soft- and hardware (big duet sticker on the controller side =P)

    • How to turn off heater fault detection (chocolate printer)

      Hi folks

      A big shout out to all the developers of the Duet family! I am working on my fifth Duet based machine and for the first time, there is a problem that I cannot solve by myself.

      First a few words about the machine. It's not a classic machine, it's supposed to print finest swiss chocolate with a idex setup. Due to the fact that chocolate has a few crystallisation points, we're forced to keep the temperature within close limits. That’s why we are using a special extruder head and a compressor to cool down the print chamber. My print head weights 5kg and I'm using 2 separately controlled heated mats with 5 and 30 Watt per head. Because of geometric constrains I'm not able to fit a more powerful heater and for the process itself it would be all fine. Due to the slow heat up times I'm running now always into a heater fault with the 5 Watt mat and the chamber compressor (needs some time to cool down the evaporator plate).
      Is there a way to turn off the heater fault detection? In my special case it would be all right to turn off the safety features because there's no physical threat that can occur. At full power of the heaters I'm getting no more than 55°C.

      I'll soon be able to supply you with some images and videos for the one's interested at it 😉

      I'm grateful for any ideas and hints that might solve my problems.
