Can you share your full config.g and config-override.g files please?
Also the results of sending M122 and M98 P"config.g" may be helpful.
It probably won't help in this case, but your firmware is also out of date. Update by uploading this zip file to the system tab in DWC.

I cannot test under the version of firmware you are using as all of my printers are now running 3.3.0.
At this point I suggest you upgrade and see if it makes a difference - they have the upgrade procedure mostly foolproof.

I upgraded the firmware and I'm getting all the same results.

Auto tuning heater 7 using target temperature 50.0°C and PWM 1.00 - do not leave printer unattended
Auto tune cancelled because temperature is not increasing

Try replaving your heaters block with this, which I generated from the config tool. For some reason you have it skipped to heater7 when the next heater should be 5.

This worked! I was able to tune correctly and the bad model parameters were probably that heater 7 shouldn't have existed. -
Glad that solved it.

I spoke too soon. I tuned the heater with the thermistor pretty close to the heater because otherwise I kept getting the "auto tune cancelled because temperature is not increasing" error. So I moved the thermistor and was able to get it to tune, but then I moved the thermistor to above the print bed. After moving it when I tried to run the heater it would never get up to temp. So then I tried to re-tune with the better thermistor position and I got the auto tune error again and again.
I ultimately want the thermistor to be above the print bed for reasons but I cant get the heater tuned in that position.

Chamber heaters are usually pretty slow to heat the entire volume, so placing the thermistor far away from the heat source makes for a very loosely coupled heater control system. It's probably a better idea to have the thermistor closer to the heater so that it can actually be controlled. You'll just have to have a delay to wait a while for the temp in the chamber to rise and equalize.
-
Okay that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
-
@honeycris alternatively, use a small fan (one that can stand the temperature in the chamber) to circulate air, so that the heat reaches the thermistor more quickly. This should also make it viable to use PID control.
-
can you give us some more details about the heater, chamber, and printer itself? Maybe with some more context we can give a better recommendation.
