Why is my bed temp fluctuating around 10c without heat on?
-
Fellow Duet wizards: i"m new to the RepRap world of GCode printer programming and am building a BLV 3D printer with a Duet2 WiFi board, and Release 3RC1 firmware.
When the printer is sitting, powered up, the bed temperature reading in the web interface fluctuates quite a bit (10c) or so. No bed heat is applied. The attached temperature graph shows this. As soon as I move a stepper to home or just manually moving one, the temperature stabilizes somewhat and will stay stable for about 10 seconds then start fluctuating again.
I've checked Power supply voltages, tried a different thermistor in the bed, (Mine are inserted into a drilled hole in the build plate) connected one and left it in the open air nowhere near the board, and made sure the wires are isolated from other forms of EMF. I measured the purchased thermistors and they are all within a few ohms of each other. So far anything I've tried hasn't made any difference like moving wires etc. I'm also using the PT100 board with two RTD's for the Chimera and their readings are rock solid. Trying to tune the bed heater results in Failures with the error that the temp isn't stable enough to run. The Wiki seems to indicate the readout should be stable before attempting any tuning. Anyone have any ideas for this? Is my board bad or is my code wrong?
Here is the exact thermistor I'm using:

My guess is that there is electrical leakage between the thermistor and the bed plate. Try another thermistor, and/or connect both the bed plate and PSU negative output to mains ground.

I thought of that but I also connected another thermistor on it's own plug and left it laying on the workbench and it did the same thing???

Yes, that's odd. Might there be some moisture or other contamination on the Duet, in the vicinity of the thermistor connector or the microcontroller?
Another possibility is that the 3.3V voltage rail isn't stable, because it is used as the ADC voltage reference. Is the 3.3V regulator chip (or anything else) getting hot?
-
I'll check the voltage and the chip and report back.

I checked the chips, nothing getting hot and the voltage of the 3.3volt rail was 3.279 volts and very stable. Today I took the board back off and using a microscope, looked it over very close. I carefully using a X-Acto knife, went between each leg of the CPU making sure of no bridges. I did find a few tiny solder balls but none of them were shorted. Put the board back in and it does the same thing so I ordered another board from Filastruder as the board I have now is a clone that came with the BLV parts kit from Aliexpress. Unless you know of anything else to try I'll swap the board and hope for the best.

Hi dc42, (Tevo Little Monster)
i have the same problem like wkellyo, bed temp fluctuating without heat on.
what i did until now.
-change the bed resistor from orginal TLM to (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32819816264.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dE5rUIG)
but the same problem.
-then i ground the bed plate for a test, messure with multimeter the connection of the ground and all good, psu also have ground.
but the same problem-->bed temp fluctuating without heat on.
What i figure out, first layer temp constant 60 C°, then at second layer (and all other layers) heat is off, i see it on leds connected to my psu, but temp beginn zu rise to 65C° and more. then i canceld the print.
-next test i disconnect all coustom wire from led buck convertec,etc. but with smoothie, all was good.- looks like more a slicer Problem? Test it with PrusaSlicer 2.1.1+, Cura 4.4, Simplify3D but all the same problem
i'am at the end of my knowledge.
Please Help
i'am at the end of my knowledge.

@Rols what happens to thebed thermistor reading when you start to heat the bed?

My newly ordered filastruder Duet2 board came in yesterday and I decided to install it today. I just knew it was going to fix my issue. I installed the new firmware, Got it connected to WiFi and traded my SD card with the one that came, hooked it all up and flipped the switch and.... DARN!! Same thing - Bed Temp fluctuating all over the place (within about 10c) So, I deducted my clone duet board was fine. Bright side: I now have a matching OEM Duet and Duex! I defiantly decided I was going to unplug every plug on the board, one at a time until I found the issue! As a test which I did several days before and it didn't make a difference, I connected another thermistor and left it hanging to the floor. The temp was perfectly stable. So, I began stripping the wires from the bed out of the wiring ducts with the fluctuating thermistor connected back up. nothing seemed to change it. I might mention I'm using a 120v silicone bed heater. I checked the thermistor to the bed for any stray voltage and found about 0.126 vac on the thermistor so I figured maybe some some inductance was going on but could never find it even after disconnecting most of the 120v bed wiring, I never disconnected the neutral from the bed heater. I also found about 4-6 vac between the bed heater frame and the earth ground. The bed frame is mounted in a kinematic setup so it floats on three points which the three bed leveling steppers are driving. I broke out the meter and started testing stuff. The bed frame is isolated as the meter showed infinity ohms from the bed frame to ground so I'm not sure where the stray voltage was coming from. I decided to try grounding the bed heater frame to ground and the temp stabilized perfectly. After the test, I ran a permanent ground to the bed frame, put it all back together and that fixed my issue. I plan to run grounds from all seven steppers as well since they are all mounting in plastic and add a few more here and there for good measure.
Hope this helps someone else. -
@wkellyo Thanks for the object lesson on the importance of good grounding.

@T3P3Tony normal room temperature 22,6C°. Start normally at 60C° and for the first layer the temperature is constant 60C°. the controller shut down the impulse to the SSR and the SSR cuts the 220V for the Bed.
Next step. Shielded cable and new resistor in the bed. i think for me there is the problem.
I report back. -
What i've done until tody.
-The printer itselve is Grounded, Motors, Frame, Heatbed, etc.
- Grounded the Heatbed Plate once more with good grounding
-Heatbed is Powerd by 230v. 1 SSR Relay.
-Now i have 2 SSR for both Phases a complete cutoff - a new (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32819816264.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dE5rUIG) Thermresistor
and at the end of the Heatbed a shielded cable to the Controller Duet2 Wifi - Make PID tuning of the Sensor at 90°C. Kalibrate it for my surface and its perfect.
hold his temp. at 60° manually.
What i figured out:
in a test print the Thermresistor is constant at 60°C at the first layer,
then the controller board stop the impulses to the ssr, what is right, because the thermresistor getting hotter,
but the bed get colder. in the speed the bed gets colder, the thermresistor rises up.
it looks like the Thermresistor gets a switch in measure direction at the end of layer one.
Please help, i am at the end of all.
It is a config Problem?
or a hardware problem of the duet?
