Error: attempting to extrude with no tool selected

theshabobo

Hi all. I just did the Duet 2 Wifi Upgrade on my printer and I am getting this error when I print any file generated by Simplify3D.

Note: This issue only occurs with S3D, not any other Slicers.
History: The printer was not having this issue with S3D before the Duet 2 Wifi conversion.

This issue will happen at random points during any print. It starts the print fine, then at a random point it will throw this error. Even with the same file, it's random! I have had it happen halfway thru the 1st layer, or on the 10th layer, or the 50th while using the same .gcode file.

There is only 1 extruder, labeled as T0. In the S3D Profile. T1 is the heated bed.

Printer Specs:
Model: Anycubic Predator
Duet 2 Wifi
Paneldue 7i
Smarteffector
BMG extruder
Duet Version: RepRap Firmware 3.1.1
S3D version: 4.1.2

Please Help.

Add a T0 to the end of you config.g

theshabobo

I did, and the issue still happens.

Phaedrux

Provide a sample gcode file and your config.g please.

anyone have any ideas?

@theshabobo said in Error: attempting to extrude with no tool selected:

anyone have any ideas?

When I use S3D, T0 is the temperature identifier for the heated bed and T1 is the temperature identifier for the extruder.

Have no idea if that would make a difference.

Phaedrux

Post your full config.g.

Do the heaters work otherwise?
Does it set the temperatures and attain them before starting to print?

I'm not really up on S3D configuration.

theshabobo

@fcwilt I have tried switching the T0 and T1, did not work, heaters did not function properly.

@Phaedrux Yes the heaters work great actually. no heat creep and they pretty much stay on point even after the error is thrown.

Here is what it does physically:
Printing with PETG

Bed heats up to 80c
Nozzle heats up to 240c
Printer homes
Starts printing
At a random point in time, it will show the error.
During this time, the print head is still moving, the hotend is still staying at temp and the bed is staying at temp. The extruder does not move.
If I send a T0 it will start extruding again. and then stop at a random point in time.

I just tried it again in another slicer, and it did the same thing. So, I am now completely lost.

This is the full Config.g

Do you see any heater error messages in the console?

Have you PID tuned the heaters?

It almost seems as if the part cooling fan is causing a heater fault.

What does your temp graph look like around the time that it happens?

@Phaedrux
Thanks for the reply!

No heater errors. I have not PID Tuned, however the temp graph is stable, basically almost a straight line. The issue is that the extruder stops extruding until I send a T0.

I manually edited that gcode to add a T0 to each layer and it printed, however this is not a fix.

Phaedrux

PID tune the heaters.

I can't see why it would deselect a tool unless there is a tool change command in the gcode file being printed, or there's been a fault.

theshabobo

no faults, no tool change commands.

One thing I just noticed, the PanelDue 7i displays at random during a print, a bunch of random errors, like "Error: Bad command R12*27"
These errors do not show up in any console.

Phaedrux

Interesting.

What baud rate is your paneldue using? I've seen that when experimenting with high baud rates than the default.

I've also seen it where interference was getting picked up and generating spurious commands. Are you using the 10 pin cable or the 4 wire cable? How long? And is it routed near any stepper motor wiring?

Also can you download the gcode file from the DWC and check it for anything corrupted looking?

If you try simulating the file do you get any errors?

theshabobo

PID's now tuned, I'll try the print again.

I'm using only the standard 4 pin cable, I believe it's 1 meter long. The cable path is not near a stepper motor, about 6-in away from the nearest motor.

I ran a simulation, no errors.

I looked at a file from the DWC, and it does not seem that any of the commands are corrupted.

@theshabobo said in Error: attempting to extrude with no tool selected:

M92 E91.0:91.0

you have one extruder, but two settings in M92. Maybe this produces that an extruder has no tool.

theshabobo

I have removed that line. I'll run another test print to verify.

theshabobo

Update: ran a test print, same issue.

I am now downgrading versions of the duet firmware to 3.0 to see if that resolves it.

My best guess is that corrupt data received on the PanelDue port is causing the problem. The cable resistance must be no more than 0.1 ohms per conductor. If the cable runs close to stepper motor cables, it must be shielded.
