Random overextrusion after 3+hours of printing FW 3.5.2
-
@charliedrums Sorry you're having problems. @dc42 needs to look at your M122 reports to see if there's anything in there. I can see a few things that may help troubleshooting:
The 1LC has not reset, according to the M122 B121 report. Nor has the steps per mm on the extruder driver changed, it's still 405. The board doesn't seem to have overheated, and there's no CAN or I2C errors, either. You could update the bootloader on the 1LC, current version is 2.8, you're on 2.3. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/RepRapFirmware/Updating_bootloader
I can't see any other errors in the M122 report for the 6HC, either. I think as far as RRF is concerned, nothing happened.
When it starts printing with double the extrusion, does the motor sound the same? I'm wondering if something is causing the microstepping mode to change to x8 rather than x16 (you say there's a 'weird extruder retraction sound'). It could be a heat related effect on the 1LC, but without running a test print on a previous RRF version that was working for you, it's hard to say why this would happen at the same time as updating to RRF 3.5.2. If it happens again, can you send
M350
and check the microstepping in use is still x16, as per your config.g?I can see from your video that some of the wiring is exposed where it is crimped into the connector:
Check for potential shorts of those. Can you post a sharp, hi resolution image of the 1LC?Is the hot end metal work grounded in some way? We advise this to minimise the chances of static shocks. See https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_3_family/Duet_3_Toolboard_1LC#wiring-notes
We recommend connecting the hot end metalwork to ground on the toolboard via a resistor (10k to 1M Ohm), if it is not grounded through its mounting system. This will prevent the hot end building up static charge, which might otherwise occur as filament is extruded and may then flash over to the tool board thermistor input, causing damage.
Again, these don't really explain why it started happening when you updated to 3.5.2, though.

@charliedrums Just to be clear, did the test with RC.4 also start to over extrude? If that was the case then it seems unlikely that it is anything in 3.5.2 that is causing the problems, especially if you were able to print ok with 3.5.0. Why did you choose to go back to 3.5-rc4 rather than 3.5.0? You might want to try 3.5.0 just to be sure, that the problem is not related to the firmware.

Ok, so I went back to 3.4.6 and ran the file again and the same thing happened at around 2-3 hours in, so that takes out the possibility of being software related. I think?

I also ran M350 while printing with the over extrusion and it still says everything is a x16.

As for the wire I tested all connections with multimeter and there doesn’t seem to be any shorts I could find. I however did not ground the hot end metal work, never did since I put it together around 2022 and it is mounted directly on the Hermes/Hemera which is mounted on a 0.25in SS bracket. While in the over extrusion face of the print I touched everything in the 1LC and nothing feels hot to the touch.
Completely missed that in the documentation. I’ve tried 3.4.6, 3.5.0RC4,3.5.1 and 3.5.2 and the same thing keeps happening. And up to this point everything was working fine even when jumping to unstable releases. I'm leaning towards a faulty 1LC unless there is something that I'm missing.
Here are the pictures requested:
*Edit:
Also, I live in Tampa Florida and these past couple of weeks we’ve seen some thunder storms for about two weeks straight. Don’t know if it is relevant but might as well mention it. I do not have the printer on an UPS. -

Is the SS bracket grounded? If not, I don't think it would hurt to try, or make sure the motor is grounded, particularly if the alternative is replacing the 1LC. May be the hot, humid, thundery weather, and a particular filament is enough to make it more susceptible to static discharge. I'd imagine it's discharging through the motor wires, into the driver, and messing that up. To reiterate our advice:
We recommend connecting the hot end metalwork to ground on the toolboard via a resistor (10k to 1M Ohm), if it is not grounded through its mounting system. This will prevent the hot end building up static charge, which might otherwise occur as filament is extruded and may then flash over to the tool board thermistor input, causing damage.

@charliedrums Is there any chance this could be related to temperature of your extruder or extruder motor? I wonder if after a long time your are getting "heat creep" that impacts the ability for the extruder to perform a retract, perhaps the filament is softened and so the extruder fails to grip it? You mentioned earlier that you needed to reboot for the problem to go away. Couple of tests you could try....
- Wait for the problem to happen, reboot the computer and start the print again (do not allow any time for things to cool down).
- Wait for the problem to happen, do not reboot, but allow the printer to cool down completely, then start the print again.
If in case 1 the problem does not happen for a few hours we can probably ignore heat. If in case 2 it takes a couple of hours for the problem to appear, then maybe heat is involved.
When you fitted the SZP, did you make any other changes? Is there any chance that the way the SZP is fitted that the airflow around the extruder has been reduced/changed?

@droftarts
It was not grounded but it is now. Since it takes a couple of days to get here I went and ordered a 1LC v1.3 board to see if that changes anything.I updated the bootloader on the 1LC and I have grounded the bracket and now the screws and the hemera are grounded. This time I started a print and it started over extruding right from the start. Maybe now with the updated bootloader and grounded everything, updaye everything to 3.5.2 and see what happens? I'll keep trying stuff until the new 1LC gets here. I'll keep the thread updated to my findings.

@gloomyandy
I don't think it is heat related. I do a lot of hueforge, so the way I have the pause script is to turn off the extruder and park the extruder. So at least twice of the tests have been, set the print and go to bed, when I wake up it has been paused for a couple of hours letting the extruder cool down. I proceed to bring it up to temperature remove filament, trim it, and finally purge filament before resuming the print. After this the problem persists. But I'll give ot a try.I bought a new 1lcv1.3 from filastruder so I have a couple of days before it gets here where I can keep investigating to see if I can pinpoint the problem.
-
Small update. While waiting for the new 1LCv1.3 to get here I decided to remake all the cable harnesses that connect to the 1LC board I got the correct crimper and crimped everything correctly with new JST-PH connectors (trying to get these perfect is not that easy). After this I tried again but same thing After a couple of hours the extruder randomly starts over extruding. So this eliminates any bad crimps or harness connections.
I also took the board off the extruder and inspected everything to see if there was any visible damage. But there was nothing that I could see. Is there any test to see if the board is busted in any way?
-
@charliedrums
Have you scanned the Gcode at that area?
I once had a similar issue that was doing my head in.
It turned out that in one of the settings in PrusaSlicer, I had a value entered as a percentage when it should have been an 1 based factor.
So instead of be 75% of the extrusion value, it was 75X the value.
I never figured out if I made an error, or there was a change in the software (unlikely), or if it was me caopying configs between prusa slicer and super slicer.
I think it was in overhangs.
In any case, maybe check for sudden increases in the E values for moves in that area. -
I haven't read this entire thread so I might have missed something but another option/thing to check is if the Z axis is moving properly. If the Z axis has some "stiction" or other movement related issue which prevents it from moving the full layer height, then this can seem like over extrusion. i.e. if you extrude enough filament for (say) 0.3mm layer height but the Z axis has only moved (say) 0.1mm, then this can seem like over extrusion.
-
@OwenD I have printed the gcode before. Probably like 30 t50 times and it has always worked. Still gave it a look but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Ok, so the new 1LC (v1.3) board came in today. I decided to start everything with a new install on a Pi5. using
image_2024-04-19-DuetPi-arm64. Once I built the image and assembled everything I updated all the boards thought putty. Interesting that when I do a toolboard diagnostics it says that the toolboard is version 1.1 not 1.3.
Now whoever I'm having a new problem. After updating everything on FW3.5.2, I go to start the print everything looks good and is heating up as it should but once heating up finishes and it starts to move to the the homing routine a couple of things happen. *Edit Before I start any print or anything I can probe and scan the bed without any problems.
Error: Expansion board 120 reconnected Error: Expansion board 121 reconnected
then the scanning z probe starts scanning the bed and in every pass I get this error.
Error: Board 120 does not have input handle 3040
and in DWC this is how the teperature is reported after this happens

Ok so I narrowed down the tool Expansion board 121 reconnected error to the harness connection between the scanning z probe and the tool board harness. I mystically did not plug it in all the way. Having plugged it in correctly I started a new test print with the new 1LC board but still I’m having the same over extrusion problem at random times. Sometimes is at the start of the print, sometimes is at layer 5, sometimes its 3+ hours into the print.
So I decided to go back to the basics I disconnected the scanning z probe and the filament sensor and updated the config.g file to comment out the scanning z probe and the filament sensor. So the only things that are plugged in to the 1LC are the extruder & cooling fan, the extruder heater, thermistor, motor, vin power and the can connection. With this configuration I started a test print to see if I keep getting the over extrusion issue. Hopefully I have a successful print on this one I really don’t want to ditch duet for Klipper and a Chinese board.
Here are my diagnostics:

Ok this time it was 1h 1m 28s when the over extrusion started. Any Ideas of what I could try next? Would making a new RJ11 cable from the tool distribution board help? Or re cabling the whole thing? At this point I’ll try anything.

@charliedrums Looking at this logically, any print move looks like this. G1 Xnn Ynn Enn. Which means move a certain distance in X and/or Y while extruding a certain amount of filament. What you are saying is that at random times, when printing a gcode that you have printed many times before, that Enn becomes something greater. I.e, the fimant moving through the extruder randomly moves further or faster than it should do. There are many reasons why it might move less (partial blockage, temperature too low, motor or wring issue, missed steps, etc), but none that I can think of that would make the filament move further than it should. So the only logical conclusion is that something else is happening which gives the appearance of over extrusion when in fact it isn't. My best guess, as I've stated before, is that your Z axis isn't moving the full layer height.

I would have guessed the same but I have checked all 4 Z motors and their harnesses. Here is what leads me to determine it is over extrusion. First once the issue begins, I remove the print from under the extruder and let it print in air for a while and visibly one can tell the more amount of plastic is being forces through the nozzle.
Second, I am using the Orthus Filament Monitor. The orthus has a light that flashes intermittently when filament is running through it. The faster the blink of the light the faster the filament if passing through the sensor, when the problem begins the light flashes faster as in filament is passing faster trough the sensor/extruder. I can move the printer to the max height(365mm) and home without any problems.
I’m going one thing at a time right now I eliminated the z scanning probe and the filament sensor. Still happening. This time around I re did the harness that powers the tool distribution board (two cables 24v Vin ground) and am currently running the print to see if the problem continues after this, I’ll re do the RJ11 cable. Then continue from there.

@charliedrums If you are certain that it is genuine over extrusion after some seemingly random period of time, then the only explanation I can think of is that somehow, something is changing the G1 Xnn Ynn Enn commands that exist in the gcode file to something like G1 Xnn Ynn E(some other value that is always higher). I note that you are using a SBC. Is there any chance that you could run stand alone mode and print directly form an SD card?
-
@charliedrums One other suggestion - try a print without input shaping. I can't offhand think why it should make a difference but who knows?

@deckingman
Yes, I can I don’t see why not. The only reason I have SBC is so I could get WIFI. Looking through the documentation I see that I can connect to the board directly with an ethernet cable. Next thing Ill do is that go Direct an eliminate the SBC and see. Thanks for the idea.
