Temperatures totally wrong 3.4 RC

Still no solution for this issue???

@thedragonlord did you retune the heaters? Like I said, in any release since 3.4beta7, the parameters have changed, and I believe the algorithm to determine PID has too.
My suggestion was to see what values you had currently, retune, and see what parameters you then get.
I’ve asked @dc42 to look at this thread.

I7ve followed your advice and I've watched the values I had with M307 then retuned with M303, got different values but the issue are still "alive"....that's why I've asked if the issue has been solved...

I have the same problem. From 3.4-b7 to 3.4-rc2_1 I have the temperature issue. This goes up about 10° and down again. But the funny thing is only at Z=2.1mm. With 3.4-b5 this is ok. I did everything PID. It's not on the slicer either, I've tested different ones.
On 3.4-b7 the temperature is constant up to Z=2.1mm and then it starts.
and this is on 3.4-b5 the temperature is constant throughout the printing

@TheDragonLord Sorry, I see from your first post that you are using the new M307 parameters. Though according to @dc42 even if you used the old parameters, the values are converted to the new parameters.
When you tuned the heaters, did you tune them with the nozzles close to the bed, ie within 1mm?
The fluctuation looks much more like it’s not dealing with the cooling fan being on, or somehow on tool change the heater tuning for the cooling fan being on is inverted, so it thinks the fan is on when it’s not, and vice versa.
Please post your tool change files, so we can see what is happening there.

@thedragonlord PID Tune your heater (H) instead of your tool (T). If you PID tune your heater it will not tune with the fan, therefore it will not (over)compensate it.
You can also remove the values for fan compensation in your present PID values.

I'll give it a try, thanks

It works thanks!

@thedragonlord You're welcome.

@thedragonlord Can you post the details of the heater settings that did not work along with the ones you have now that do work, DC42 may find them of interest. Do your new settings give a constant temperature during a print? Can you also confirm what version of RRF you are now running.
-
@thedragonlord as @gloomyandy said if the tuning is overcompensating for the fan, it would be good to understand why.
When tuning, does the cooling fan run at 100%?
Does the part cooling fan run at 100% when printing?
When each tool is parked parked, could the hot end fan be having an effect on nozzle cooling?
When each tool is parked, does the cooling fan continue to run?
When you reverted to RRF 3.3 and temperatures were stable, what M307 commands were used?
As requested before, please post your tool change macros so we can see what is going on. A sample Gcode file, or snippet of the commands sent at tool change, would also help.Ian

As I told before it's not related to a tool change because it doesn't work even with a single heater on. The fan isa always 100% in the tuning and during the print

@gloomyandy I wrote a post more than a month ago (maybe 2) about this. PID tuning is even worse when I did it with copper heatblock.
There might be some fix values in the PID tuning process or the heating control that totally sends temp off the chart.
I mean even if it's over target temp it still tries to compensate the part cooling fan by raising temperature, triggering heater fault after a while.
If you have a copper heatblock, at initial heatup it way overshots temp. The purpose of PID is to precisely reach target temp and sustain it in a changing environment. But when you use copper, heatup just doesn't slow down. It's like PID is hardcoded to aluminium heatblock.
I even tried manually adjusting the values with no luck, but even like this PID was far better than bang-bang.
-
@thedragonlord okay. Can you at least post the M307 you were using in 3.3? Then we might be able to reproduce the issue.
For now I’ll update the M303 instructions to say that if the feedforward isn’t working for the user, to tune heaters rather than tools, as @Hernicz suggests.
Without sufficient data and information to be able to understand the cause of issues and to reproduce them, it’s very difficult to resolve them.

This is not true in my experience. I had E3D v6 copper block (with copper nozzle and titanium heatbreak) in my delta from new and had no problems with a number of v3.4 betas and RC1 & 2 on a MB6HC. All tuned fine (as tools, not heaters) and worked fine when tuned. So it's not the case that something fundamental in the tuning cannot accomodate a copper block.
I'm now using a Revo, so the concept of block dissapears somewhat, since there's heater - nozzle assembly without discrete block. FWIW, that has tuned fine too.

@hernicz this post? https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/26830/issues-with-pid-tuning-rrf-3-4-0-b7/
I’ll try and get @dc42 to look at all threads where PID tuning is an issue. If you spot more, please post them here. Maybe if they’re taken all together there may be a common issue that he can look at.

I've been not using 3.3 but 3.4 beta 6 but unfortunately I have no backup for the files...

@thedragonlord in the 3rd post in this thread, when running RC1, your M307 was
M307 H1 R2.033 K0.194:0.179 D6.99 E1.35 S1.00 B0 V23.9 M307 H2 R1.889 K0.191:0.164 D8.45 E1.35 S1.00 B0 V23.9
That’s the format for 3.4beta7 and later. Are you are using these in 3.4beta6? If you’ve retuned and it’s working, please post what you’re currently using in beta6. Then we can at least compare the computed PID values for each method, to see where it differs.
If you’re now on RC2 and you retuned just the heater not tool (as it would seem from your other posts), and it’s working, post that, so again we can compare the PID with the non working tune.

@droftarts Yes, that's it.

@achrn I also have 50W heater running at 30V, but Voltage was taken to account.
I'm not the only one with this issue. Are you running on SBC or standalone?
