Fan0 & Extreme heat inaccuracies out of nowhere
-
1. What M303 command did you use when trying to tune the hot end, and what was the failure message?
2. If you suspect that the temperatures are being misread, then you can check that the electronics is working correctly by substituting fixed resistors for the thermistors.
3. It's just possible that you have some leakage between the hot end 12V/24V connections and the thermistor, but not enough to blow the VSSA fuse. Here are two ways to check this out:
a) Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between VSSA and ground while the printer is hot and the heater is operating. It should be no more than 10mV.
b) Connect both VIN and USB power, heat up the hot end, and note the temperature reading. Then remove VIN power. The temperature reading should initially be unchanged, but will start falling because power to the heater has been removed. If it immediately drops sharply instead, then there is a leakage problem.

Failure just says "auto tune cancelled because heater failed to reach target temperature" -
So either the temperature is under-reading, or the heater is under-powered. What type of hot end do you have? Do you have a silicone sock over the heater block? Did you have the print cooling fan or off during tuning?

I am running a genuine E3D-V6 24V 30W hotend with the blue silicone socks. I am not running the part cooling fans while doing intial tuning. The heatsink cooling fan is mounted in a ducted radiator, which rules out fan wash over the hot block. I have tried tuning with and without the socks as well.
Printer has about 500 hours print time on it right now. -
It sounds to me that your temperature readings are inaccurate then, as you suspected from the start. See my response 4 posts up for suggestions.

Okay so I got another board from Filastruder and completely rewired the machine with shielded cables and updated some of the routing since I couldn't afford to have extreme downtime on the machine.
Board works great but still having temperature issues. Is it possible that the configurator is working incorrectly? I am suspecting its a config issue but I am not sure where to look at this point. Also installed brand new 30w E3D heater cartridge and thermistor just to be safe.
I print in PETG typically, what I am noticing is that it is starting to ooze from the hotend at a mere temperature of 185-195 now while heating up. Temperature has to be off. Typically print at 250, now I lower it to 240 and it still seems way too hot (soooo much oozing everywhere). Bed still reading over temperature as well.
Looking at my old board, I don't see/notice any burnt traces so I think it may still be good except for the issues I was having with FAN0. May put that on my Rostock MAX V3 which I still haven't gotten to calibrate right (you commented on my troubleshoot over there about springs being too tight DC42)

The way to check both the board and your calibration settings is to substitute fixed resistors for the thermistors. Compare the reading you get with the temperature at which the thermistor is supposed to have that resistance, as shown on the resistance-temperature chart provided by the manufacturer.
Another test worth doing is to heat them both up, then unplug one of the thermistors and see whether the reading of the other is affected significantly, in case leakage to VSSA is altering the readings. The heater whose thermistor you have disconnected should fault within a few seconds, but be ready to turn it off if it doesn't.
Regarding the PETG, are you certain that whatever other electronics you print that filament with was giving accurate temperature readings?

I'll have to see if I can dig up any resistors from around the shop, I think all that I have will just read room temperature though since they were intended for tricking a RAMPs board into thinking there was a heat bed on the CNC.
I have 6 Prusa Style machines I built for producing functional parts for customers that run on mini Rambo 1.3. These have run thousands of hours but their settings completely differ from my CoreXY
The Rostock is completely stock with less than 5 hours of print time since it can't calibrate.
The flashforge pretty much sits still except when it needs to print parts for to fix/mod the other machines.
My coreXY C-BOT derivative is my main machine for prototyping and personal production. It has only ever had the DUET WIFI as electronics. So all settings I mention are what used to be run on the machine with DUET. I've now installed two separate DUET WIFI boards. Both overdo the temperature (although the first board used to not until recently) The second board at least has all fans working which is great. I've replaced mechanical parts 3 times now on the hotend. At that point I would assume something must be off with my config. I redid the settings for both heaters on the configurator, this time, I used the Stein method. For heater 1 (should be hotend?) I chose the preset for E3D-V6. For the bed I used Keenovo's r–t table to the best of my knowledge. with temp1 @25=100,000 //temp 2 @50 =35899// temp 3@100 = 6710
The bed still goes over temperature but only by about 35 at 100C and 20 at 80C. The hotend I haven't measured, but, based on print results it is printing much hotter at 240 now then it used to print when I set it to 250.Side note: what kind of retract/pressure advance is being running of bowdens of say 500mm with bondtech QR and E3D-V6. I'm currently using 3.5mm @50mm/s with M572 S0.1...doesn't seem to be enough I see you mentioned once that retract should be 1% of bowden length +1mm which would put me at about 6mm for retract which seems a bit much for the E3d-V6.
I have also tried 3 different rolls of PETG to check if maybe I had a bad roll. Same results.
Oh and seriously thanks for the help and patience!

Which firmware version are you using, and what are the exact M305 commands you are sending? Have you tried running M305 P1 and M305 P2 with no other parameters, to check that it is really using the thermistor parameters you have supplied?
Are you using the same hot end on the new machine and your old ones? different hot end designs need different printing temperatures.
I still think there is a possibility that leakage from your heater connections to one of your thermistors is causing the problem. That would account for why it used to read correctly. You could measure the voltage difference between VSSA and ground to check that. It should be less than 5mV.

Firmware is 1.18 release on 04/09/2017. I am upgrading to the new 1.19 release currently.

Heatbed is a 110v 300mmx300mm keenovo
hotend is E3D-V6 [note: this is the only hotend I run on all my machines(except Rostock since it hasn't been commissioned to work stock even)] So hotends are identical across all machines.
I am wondering how there could be a leakage with an all new Board, shielded wiring, and spare hotend that I installed this past weekend? I did do the voltage test as suggested on the old board but forgot to post. Just checked new board (3.9-4.1mV) while at 200C.
