ok perfect after tuning i will safe it with M500 and its done ?

Phaedrux

@lui2004 Yes, as long as you also have M501 at the end of config.g to load your saved results.

@Phaedrux

yes i have M501 in my config.g

thanks a lot

For the hot end you can now tune it as a tool instead of just a heater to allow for the tool fan to be part of the tuning process so that the algorithm can compensate for the cooling effects of the part fan.

Ex: M303 T0 S205

Can you elaborate?
There doesn't seem to be a way to auto-tune with both fan on and off, to give the two sets of parameters that would be needed.

Phaedrux

@theruttmeister it should be automatic when you tune as a tool versus as a heater. It will turn the fan on and off during the process and use that info. Beyond that it's all magic to me.

I recommend running the tuning with the hot end close to the bed and near the centre of the bed, because proximity of the bed affects the airflow from the fan.

hi

can itune booth with:

M303 T0 S205 for Hotend

and

M303 T1 S70 for Bed is that ok ?

jay_s_uk

@lui2004 no as the bed isn't a tool.
Tune the bed as normal

M303 H0 S70

@dc42

are my results ok ?

Yes those look good to me.

a little bit maybe from my personal observations regarding the new heater tuning algorithm:

We have here a small anycubic-i3-mega that got as new mainboard the duet-pcb, it sits in a wooden chamber with the standard heatplate used as chamber heater and 1 additional fan in the top of that chamber to "cool" the chamber by sucking out air (there are some holes in the bottom plate of the chamber to let new air in when that happens)

When using the new heater tuning algorithm, I leave the door of the chamber open and put the fan of the chamber to max rpm, BECAUSE first I did it the other way round with door closed and chamberfan off and after tuning and saving the tune with M500 I got a heater fault manually heating up, because that time the door was open and the fan on and that was too much for the state it was tuned in (heating too slow/temperature rise too slow).

So long story short: I would recommendate from my observations that you tune with "hardest" surrounding conditions for the heater. With hardest what I mean is, that it has to work hardest. If you tune it with the easiest condition, you might later get a sporadic heater fault when conditions get harder.

(I do not know if that on the long run could be also constrained by something like this request here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/20844/limiting-ramp-rate-in-heating-algorithm/3?_=1610360187720 but for the moment I can work with it and that is what counts.)
