@knaudler you could edit DWC to change this, but by definition seeing the fans does not give you control of them because they are controlled by the temperature of the hotend....

I had a strange issue today while printing. Somewhere in the middle of printing layer 1 I used baby-stepping to raise Z by 0.025mm. And about 40s into layer 2 I undid that again. And now this might be coincidence but at about the same time DWC reported a switch from layer 2 to layer 3 (layers 1 to 4 were supposed to take about 10-15 minutes each) and reported layer 2 with a total time of 40s.

Now my print does have a shifted layer (again might be coincidence with bad first layer adhesion as another rather probable reason). I cannot tell if that really is layer 2 to 3 (it rather looks like layer 2 was shifted to the left compared to layer 1 but I cannot tell for sure - and as I was controlling the printer from remote using webcam to only check sometimes I don't know for sure either).
I looked at the Gcode and layer 1, 2 and 3 have about the some amount of lines which means that part is OK.

I will have to print that part again and will see if this happens again. Definitely never had something like this before when using baby-stepping.

hi
using fan 1 for hotend cooling
starting at 50 degrees - at 80% (have 15v input)

sometimes - if I want higher temps - 250 degrees - I push the fan to 90-100%
or if I need only 190 degrees - in the night, for extra silence - go down to 70% fan, thats ok

the only sound of the cr10 now are the fans

would be nice for me to controll all fans

thanks

One workaround would be to create a few macros to set different speeds for the hot end fan.

I don't know if you are aware of this but you can use thermostatic control to vary the fan speed over a range of temperatures which might achieve what you want automatically when you change the hot end temperature. This is what I do but in my case I just use zero speed below 60 deg C and full speed at 140 and above. In your case you could use for example M106 P1 S255 I0 F250 H1 T50:250 would give (if my maths is correct) zero speed at 50 degrees C and below, 70% speed at 190 deg C and 100% speed at 250 deg C. You might need to play around with those values and there is also an "L" parameter to set the minimum fan speed which you could use to give a non zero speed.

Knaudler

thats a good idea
I will test.

thanks

is it just me... or if you have the web interface running on screen for a long time it is out of sync with the current status (I tell by looking at current z level location)

I had my big print on for a while and it tells me that I am at Z@ 11.xx but when I refresh the screen it is now changed to Z@17.xx

I never noticed that with the previous version

Thanks
Tony

@otaku521 I too face the same problem - web interface shows a different value and I have to refresh the tab to see the current value.

In previous versions, it is either connected or disconnected. When it is connected, it is in sync with the actual print progress.

Cheers,

I have once seen the web interface think it is connected when the printer was not turned on. I think this was after I woke up the PC from sleep mode, but I am not sure. I was using FireFox browser.

I can see this more often then not when waking up my PC from sleep and not having manually disconnected DWC before sending the PC to sleep. I am using Vivaldi which basically is the same as Chrome.

To expand further on my issue of not getting responses, it seems that DWC is somehow getting out of sync but not disconnecting ie ..........

@otaku521 @SM3D

I am glad that I am no longer the only one.

I have the same problem.

The debugging mode shows a difference:

DWC 1.21.1 stops after error:

DWC 1.21 continues to run after error:

Using it on the Railcore since released, non stop printing while I'm awake, and zero issues.

whosrdaddy

I confirm the issue @zerspaner_gerd is seeing, have sometimes the same problem.
Reloading the page resolves the problem.
I suspect this is a DWC bug...

whosrdaddy

@zerspaner_gerd : what is the value of the Ajax retries in your DWC settings?

zerspaner_gerd

@whosrdaddy
I tested at times until 4.
For a long time I stayed at 2, without change.

Am current back to 3 high, and this seems to show an improvement currently.

Did you observe the same?

@adamfilip What firmware version are you upgrading from?

Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin should work. If you haven't upgraded in a while you may need to rename it. Check the firmware release notes for the interceding firmware.
