Solved Here's a strange filament change behavior!
-
So I have two tools set up on a duet 2 wifi.
When Cura switches between them the strangest thing seems to happen. Here's the setup...When Cura calls "tool 0" or "tool 1" the printer executes "tfree1.g" or "tfree0.g" which both contain:
M302 P1 ; allow cold fusion M98 P"/macros/moveto/filchange.g" M98 P"/macros/loadunload/unload.g" M302 P0 ; prevent cold fusionfilchange.g contains:
G91 ; rel moves G1 z.5 F99999 ; zhop G90 ; abs moves G1 x2 y140 F99999 ; move to purge spotunload.g contains:
G1 E-8 F1000 ; initial retract G4 S10 ; dwell to cool filament G1 E-90 F99999 ; fully retract filamentThen the machine calls "tpre0.g" which contains nothing at he moment.
And then "tpost0.g" or "tpost1.g" is called which contains:
M98 P"/macros/loadunload/load.g"load.g contains:
M302 P1 ; allow cold fusion G1 E99 F3600 ; quickly load back +1 G1 E10 F150 ; slowly purge 10mm M302 P0 ; prevent cold fusionSo what I'm observing is this
on changing over to "tool1" there seems to be a strange pause after
G1 E99 F3600 of load.g
then the slow purge which follows it...well it happens really rapidly instead of following the F150 speed....This only happens on changing over to T1
going from T1 back to T0 the slow purge works fine...THOUGHTS?

Assuming each tool has it's on extruder stepper what are the stepper settings in config.g.
On my printer, which has a max extruder speed of F3600, extruding 99 mm would take awhile.

you're on the right track....it was a slicer setting
all aspects of each material profile are the same for both tools in this case....I missed one called "nozzle switch retraction distance" under dual extrusion in Cura....I had it set to 16mm so there's the issue....over retraction and then sudden over extrusion because of the extra 16. -
Actually I take it back....trying now with settings adjusted and Cura is still over extruding on tool change to T1.

Please cut-and_paste your config.g file using the </> tag.
Thanks.

Must be slicer because when I manually switch the tools back and forth there's no problem....I wonder what I'm missing in Cura for this strangeness to be happening..

@fcwilt
So I'm observing the change over on T1 and there's two moves on re-priming one short and then one the normal length...this cant be the slicer at this point in the code as the printer has full control...unless it's a buffered move? I just don't get it...how could the slicer be affecting things at this point. -
Oh god...never friggin mind....
I had inserted a 16mm compensation in tpost1.g this morning at 4am which I forgot about....All better now close post.....mark as solved.....revoke my 3dP license..
