Unsure with Duet (RRF3) & Simplify3D

[en_passant]

Hello all,

I posted this already but I'm unable to find it within categories - so assuming that others won't find it either...

I've just got my printer switched over to RRF3.1.0 (in the hope of finally getting it going!)

I have set everything up which seems to be OK but I'm a bit confused by duet/simplify3d terms and can't find anything relevant within the codes sections. My config is here:

Apologies: post was longer than 10000 characters so reeling to continue questions.

The M190 S[bed2_temperature] and M109 S[extruder0_temperature] within the starting script are what's confusing me (I have bed heater defined in my config, M140 H0)

Within simplify3d my "primary extruder" has temperature identifier "T0" which I think seems OK. But it also has "heated bed temperature" identifier is "T2" and when I try to change it or define it, I only have options of T0 through T5... so, it is making me select a tool?

This was configured a long long time ago (I upgraded from RRF1.something to RRF2 and config/simplify3d had been set before I upgraded to RRF2).

Not sure what I'm missing here so that simplify3d can control my bed heater (as per my M140 H0) and hot-end? (I think my hot-end is OK as I have M563 P0 D0 H1 S"Nozzle" within "tools" in my config?)

Appreciate any and all help so I can finally get this thing running!

Does anyone with simplify3d have any ideas? How do you have simplify3d setup for heated bed?

My only options in simplify3d are:

Do I need to set G10 P1 in config.g > tools?

Is the output from simplify3d interpreted with my M190 S[bed2_temperature] and M109 S[extruder0_temperature] - so the printer will see the output from simplify3d and use it?

Thank you,

Yes?

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Is your printer not heating?

What does simplify actually produce for gcode? Those commands should evaluate to actual usable gcode commands and the firmware should respond to them.

What isn't working?

Save the generate gcode from S3D to a file, open the file with a text editor, and search for M190. This is what the duet will see.

(it's S3D job to replace those variables with the actual values before writing the .gcode file)

[bot]

In S3D my heated bed is listed as T0.

In your start script, it should say bed0 temperature I believe, to match T0, but I'm unsure if the T0 actually applies to the bed.

Regardless, FYI, my setup has bed as T0 and start script uses bed0_temperaure.

I tried running a print of a test cube but I'm getting heater faults:

Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault

I have tried changing my starting script but I'm unsure what I should put in M190 and M109 so it correlates with simplify3d.

I have:

T0				; select tool 0 (hot-end)
M190 S[bed0_temperature]	; set bed temperature & wait

M109 S[extruder0_temperature]	; set hot-end temp

; change M109 to M104 T0 S[extruder0_temperature]?

M116 H1 S2			; wait: hot-end = S[extruder0_temperature] +/- 2C

G1 E10 F500			; extrude 10mm @ 500mm/min (prime)
G1 X5 F10000			; x 5mm y 0mm [absolute] @ 10000mm/min (wipe start position: x 5 y 0)
G1 Z0.10 F1000			; z 0.10mm [absolute] @ 1000mm/min (bed up to begin wipe)
G1 X177.5 E5 F15000		; x 177.5mm [absolute] & extrude 5mm @ 15000mm/min (max) whilst z = 0.10mm [absolute] (nozzle wipe: extruding while moving)
G92 E0				; set extruder position to 0

I changed the script above to M190 S[bed0_temperature] because my config has:

M140 H0				; bed heater #0 = heater #0 [m950 h0] (implied due to no p (bed heater index) parameter invoked)

Thanks. Is your hot-end set up as T1? ...T2 etc? Do you have T0 setup as your bed and hot-end setup as T1 in config.g?

My hotends are T0 and T1. There seems to be no conflict with the bed being "T" anything. I think this is just S3D being lazy and not making things make sense.

Thanks @bot - appreciated.

I just changed my config M563 to P1for hot-end. Then changed the starting (and ending) scripts to use T1 opposed to T0.

I got this:

24/05/2020, 21:26:18	Warning: Tool 1 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high 
enough or it has a heater fault
24/05/2020, 21:26:21	Error: Attempting to extrude with no tool selected.

My hot-end temp on DWC didn't move from 140 it was at for the part prior in the script... but the bed did move to 55 which is what I set it to for testing so may be making slight progress!

So, in simplify3d you have heated bed = T0 and also have hot-ends as T0 and T1?

I'll move my tools configs back to T0 for hot-end in simplify3d, config and scripts...

Edit: can't change simplify3d to T0 (because heated bed currently T0)

*e_p

[arhi]

s3d uses

M140 S100
M190 S100

to set bed temperature

T0/1/2/3... irrelevant

only thing important is to have M140 H0

[bot]

What version of simplify3d are you using?

Once you indicate that the heater controller is a heated bed, it shouldn't prevent you from choosing T0 for bed.

It seems like a starting script or something is selecting T1 for your print. Are you trying to print with a second extruder? It should choose T0 for the print if not.

[zapta]

@en_passant, as a side note, S3D is a stale product.

Once you will have this working, you may want to consider one of the free slicers such as PrusaSlicer or Cura which are actively maintained.

Yeah... I was on simplify3d's forums trying to find an answer for this and seen a lot of very unhappy customers! I got an email about a year ago saying there was version 5 being introduced at the end of 2019, that then moved to the beginning of 2020...

But, it's what I've got and would rather get the printer set up using something at least somewhat familiar before venturing off the beaten track...

I'm on 4.1.2. I quit and restarted it and I can now select primary extruder = T0 AND heated bed = T0.

but when I ran a test cube generated with those I get:

24/05/2020, 21:52:59	Warning: Tool 0 was not driven because its heater temperatures were not high enough or it has a heater fault

The heated bed changed over from 50 to 55 just like I want but the hot-end is saying it's not hot enough.

I now think this may be because (as I noticed when I heat the hot-end manually) I cannot extrude until 160. The reason I have 140 is because I have precision piezo and it's advised (and I did notice when I tested) it gets a bit spurious above that when doing G30.

I did also have:

T0				; select tool 0 (hot-end)
M190 S[bed0_temperature]	; set bed temperature
M109 S[extruder0_temperature]	; set hot-end temp
M116 H1 S2			; wait: hot-end = [extruder0_temperature] +/- 2C

but it seems to ignore the wait command?

@arhi said in Unsure with Duet (RRF3) & Simplify3D:

s3d uses

M140 S100
M190 S100

to set bed temperature

T0/1/2/3... irrelevant

only thing important is to have M140 H0

Thanks @arhi. And the hot-end? It doesn't seem to pick up my M109 S[extruder0_temperature]...?

For M116 try putting just the tool number with P0 instead of the heater number.

Maybe also try setting temps with G10 and then waiting with M116 instead of both M109 and waiting.

Other than that, I can't spot anything that seems amiss.

Thanks @bot. I appreciate you taking the time to read my config & scripts.

I just tried:

T0				; select tool 0 (hot-end)
M190 S[bed0_temperature]	; set bed temperature
M109 S[extruder0_temperature]	; set hot-end temp
M116 P0 S2			; wait: hot-end = [extruder0_temperature] +/- 2C

to no avail. It doesn't even change the active temperature on DWC (though my bed is changing to 55 as I set it to in s3d).

I suspect M109 S[extruder0_temperature] isn't correlating with s3d.

Not sure how to implement G10 - as it mentions that (and appears so) that s3d uses M109?

Since you can configure the start script with whatever you want, and when you include a temperature variable in the script, S3D suppresses its own M109 command, you can use G10 in the start script with no issues.

s3d generates for me

M140 S100
M190 S100
M104 S255 T0
M109 S255 T0

bed 100C, hotend 255C
works as expected

[arhi]

my suggestion - forget about S3D
execute M-code manually trough DWC and see if it works
if everything works ok (M140, M190, M104 and M109) only then move forward to s3d

for me, I don't have much of code in s3d at all.

start code:

end code:
