G10: Invalid tool number
-
I'm attempting to do a single extruder/hotend filament change (PETG to TPU) in superslicer but my Duet doesn't seem to like it.
At the filament change I get this error;
The printer stops extruding but the head keeps moving.
this is line 63804
G10 P1 S200 ; set temperatureIt looks like changing from P0 to P1 is the problem? but how do I get around this?
-
I found this example for a dual extruder in another post on this forum; see if it makes sense?

@nick9one1 As @rjenkinsgb has indicated, you need to define the tools correctly in config.g. It might be best if you post that file so one of use can take a look. As well as that, there are a few other possible causes of your problem. The G10 command will set the active temperature but that in itself does not make the tool active - it merely sets the temperature that will will be used when the tool becomes active. There needs to be a Tn command in the gcode file to make "n" the active tool. So it would be good if you could post an extract from the gcode file for few lines either side of the G10.
Another possibility is inconsistent tool numbering compatibility between the slicer and the firmware. RepRap firmware (as used by Duet) expects the first tool number to be zero, the second 1 etc. Some slicers default to using the first tool number as 1, the second 2 etc. So it might be that you have tools 0 and 1 defined but the slicer is putting T1 and T2 commands in the gcode file. There is usually a setting somewhere in the slicer to configure the tool numbering system.
There are a few other possibilities but we'd need to see your configuration files and a sample of the gcode file you are trying to print, as well as any tool change macros if you use them.

Thank you both.
It does look like I only had one tool defined in config.g
I've added a second;
; Tools M563 P0 D0 H1 F0 ; define tool 0 G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 0 axis offsets G10 P0 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C ; M563 P1 D1 H1 F0 ; define tool 1 G10 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 1 axis offsets G10 P1 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 1 active and standby temperatures to 0CThe code @rjenkinsgb posted looks like it defines a different heater for tool 2? So I kept H1 on both tools ( presume this is the heater?)
I've sliced a simple cylinder that changes at layer 1
and the gcode file:
cylinder with tool change.gcode
this is the offending line;

@nick9one1
Looking at the output, I see a couple of issues and potential issues.- Your M98 call to the filament purge macro incorrect. It should probably be M98 P"0:/macros/Filament/Purge"
- The first call to T0 occurs AFTER the call to purge, so unless you have T0 or another tool selected before the print starts, it will fail when it tries to purge.
- Your code to retract filament is BEFORE you have selected T0, so again will fail if a tool wasn't selected before the print starts.

Thank you, I'll fix that and try again.
Although the print does start and prints fine until the tool change (line 1006).
Single filament prints work fine too. -
I've removed the macros as I dont use them (the files dont exist so always skipped anyway).

There is actually an error in the console earlier than I thought, I missed it as its not in red.
G10 P1 R200 ; sets the standby temperature -
Can you send M98 P"config.g" and see what errors you get?
Can you share the gcode file in question? -
I think I've found the problem. The second tool I added to config.g had D1 instead of D0.
The printer only has one hotend and extruder so they are 'virtual' tools that let me change filament print settings (temp, retraction etc.) in the slicer.; Tools M563 P0 D0 H1 F0 ; define tool 0 G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 0 axis offsets G10 P0 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C ; M563 P1 D1 H1 F0 ; define tool 1 G10 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set tool 1 axis offsets G10 P1 R0 S0 ; set initial tool 1 active and standby temperatures to 0C
