Printer looses temps at start

ralfsteckralfsteck
in General
Hi all,

I have a problem with my printer that drives me nuts. Frequently, not always, this is what happens when I print - no matter if from SD or from Octoprint (Hardware: Mendel90, Rumba, Full Graphic LCD, Raspi, Octoprint):

The print starts normally, bed heats up, printhead goes Zero on all axes, Z down again, waits for extruder temp and starts printing. And in this moment, all temperature targets (Extruder + Bed) go to "0". Printer prints but stops extruding after cold extrusion temp is reached. Another print missed.

You see the missing targets in the sreenshot, same is on the display: 210/0, 55/0 or so.

I doubt this is a hardware or host error, as it occurs when printing from SD as well as from Raspberry. I can't remember having this issue when I used Marlin Firmware (which I like much less wrt the display etc.).

Any thoughts on this? It's a PITA and leaves my very frustrated.

Ralf

    I should add I have a 24V, 350W AC Industry Adaptor, this shouild be enough for everything I have (1 extruder, MK3 heatbed 200 x 300).

    My guess is that your gcode contains the commands to set temperatures to 0. With wrong slicer configurations these might get included while slicing which also explains why you have it for all ways of sending it.

    Search eg. M104 S0 or M109 S0 in your gcode whcih would set extruder tempt to 0.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    But the same Gcode worked yesterday and didn't work today...
  • RepetierRepetier
    Can't say without having seen it, but as you described it I'm quite confident that there is a gcode setting it to 0 involved.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    How can I post a file here? Here's the beginning of the print without any of the codes you mentioned. Problem is the SAME gcode file can work, but can also fail.

    No uploading support in this forum. Use services lik epastebin for this.

    I agree that there is no temp 0 setting in this code. Have you checked the log if a defect was triggered somehow, whcih is the only other reason I could think of, why it resets to 0.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    My printer has a log? Where?
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    I have now printed from my laptop with Repetier host. First print worked, second print: Temps to zero in the second the printer started printing. Here is the log:

    http://pastebin.com/kaFPadKC

    I cut the First print and the end with many waits...

    Hope this helps, Ralf
  • RepetierRepetier
    What version is the firmware. Looks rather old since temp. output does not tell target temperature. That make sit hard to see where it got turned off. In fact I think it got already turned off, where the log begins since there was no output set.

    Maybe updating to a recent version would help.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    Hi,

    The startup screen says "Version 0.91". Is there any way to see this more details of the firmware e.g. in the Arduino files?

    Isn't that what you were looking for:

    The thing I don't understand is highlighted in bold: Target Extruder 235, then 2 lines on Target Extruder 0. Strange.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    Hi, I'm one step further: I switched to Marlin firmware and the problem is gone. So it must be a (I suspect a configuration) problem with repetier. Is it OK to upload my configuration.h here so someone with knowledge can have a a look?
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    Maybe I should add that I urgently want to come back to Repetier firmware as the meus are way better :-)
  • The_BuggedThe_Bugged
    I have the same problem. I just tried it 15 times and it finally worked.
  • ralfsteckralfsteck
    I switched to Repetier Firm 0.92 and never had that problem again.
  • RepetierRepetier
    What version? What does the log say? Is there a hint that it went into dry run when it happens?
