Problem with calibrating magnetic filement sensor
-
The AGC seems a bit high. Are the mating surfaces of the case smooth allowing for a tight fit together? If the fit isn't great that might explain it.

I sanded it down after first post. Now agc is 103. But still have issues

I just rebooted the printer and tried again. Got numbers that looked good.
Changed the config to these values.Ran a print
I got about 10 min in before it stopped.I copied the results from M591 D0.
It is kind of long. I clicked update to see what was going on.
UPDATE. I had to shorten post to be able to submit20:42:34M591 D0

That's promising. Can you sand it further?

I did. Now agc is 86-82
I see that measured sensitivity still goes up during print.

It is fine for what I am doing. If it would kept rising it would be a problem. Have a Modix 120X. 2 weeks for a print is not common but it happens. The sensor will fix the problems I had before.

So it seems to be functioning better now? Keep us posted.

@Phaedrux
Yes it is working. Don´t like that the sensitivity changes. Will see how it works on a larger print.
I do have question though. I have read everything I can find on the forum but no answer.My magnetic sensor is very close to the extruder. It means when the filement runs out it is not sticking up from the extruder when runing just the magnetic sensor.
So I planned to use the standard filement run-out sensor (microswitch).
I changed the P from 3 to 4 but it just says "no filement present"
So I figured the sensor (microswitch) needed to be reversed (NO vs NC) and modified the sensor.
It did not help.
I did some testing with both NC and NO to make sure it has nothing to do with wiring.The microswitch is connected to E0 stop and the magnet sensor to Z stop.
Reading on the forum I found a post implicit suggesting that both should be connected to the same I/O.
It does not make sense. Then there would be no need to have 5 pins on the magnetic sensor.
But how does the Duet know which input is which when using magnetic sensor AND micro switch? (P4)
Can you please clarify?Frank
-
When are where was the sensor purchased? Perhaps to save any further frustration with testing etc we should try exchanging it in case the issues is the sensor itself.
-
@Phaedrux
I bought it in the beginning of July from hobby store in Poland. Simply because they had it in stock.
I can live with the sensitivity slipping as long as it does not mean that it goes out of tolerance.
To check this I need to run a larger print which I was about to today once I solved the run out switch problem.But I would like to know the answer to the micro switch question.
Just to clarify, the micro switch I am using worked fine before I changed the config file to accommodate the magnetic sensor.
When writing this I think I figured out the problem. I am 99% sure that I erased the line configuring the micro switch.
Will test this tomorrow. -
Ok I put the M591 line defining simple microswitch runut sensor (like it was prior to magnetic sensor) and kept the M591 line for the magnetic sensor.
It did not work.
So question still stands. How to wire the runout sensor to make this work?
Maybe this should be separate thread. Tell me and I will repost it.
Frank
-
Ok now I figured it out.
It is kind of obvious that the microswitch is to be connected to the magnetic switch.
I thought it should still be connected to the Duet board.
Could not figure out why the magnetic switch had the 2 pins, that is what solved it.
Now I only need to route 4 more meters of cable and find the connectors.
Frank -
Glad you got it figured out.
-
@Phaedrux
Yes, I did the wiring yesterday, did some testing and started a 60 hour print.
It worked for about an hour then it started saying "too little movement"
I have set the tolerance to 10%-125%, just as stated before.But there are no problems, no clog and filament extrudes fine when doing it manually at highest speed.
I tried to make it work for 2 hours. In the end I got sensitivity value in the 1000 and it would not work at all.
I tried it this morning with the same result.So I actually think there is something wrong with the sensor.
So yes, I would like a replacement sensor.
Frank -
[EDITED] I suspect that the reason for the small sensitivity changes is that the average print speed is changing and your extruder suffers from nonlinear extrusion, i.e. the steps/mm goes up a little as the extrusion rate increases.
When the sensitivity gets very high (you mentioned 1000), does the AGC still read in the 80 to 90 region?

AGC is 76-78. Now the sensor is not working at all.
I can´t post the respons from printer since I am at work. Will do that later today.The problem just escalated until it stopped completely.
When printer pauses I can extrude manually with highest speed. Then I resume and it just went shorter and shorter distance until it paused again.
I the end it pause direct but I see it extruding.So right now I like to try a new sensor.

Ok will do.
I just stopped the print, deleted the M591 line in config and will try to resurrect the print with out sensor
If that works it is definently the sensor -
Now it is printing fine. It will not tell me if it stops extruding but I can find the height and use resurrect.
But just when the print started I got this message on webinterface
Connection Lost
The connection between the browser and your machine has been interrupted.Reason: Unknown (SyntaxError: Unexpected token , in JSON at position 845)
Please reload the web interface to proceed.
Tried to reload, restart computer and restart router. Nothing helped.
Don´t want to restart printer in mid print.
Is this a known issue?
