Power recover wrong last position
-
What slicer are you using? Cura defaults to absolute extruder moves - but you are using relative in your code.
-
yes I was thinking about this that this is my problem. i ll give a try tmr using slic3r. but… i don t know what to say, there must be a solution for working with any slicer available.
-
So I've tried power failure feature with a gcode generated by slic3r and the extruder does not have any problems now. But the problem with the X axis persist. If i have G28 in ressurect-prologue.g the print will be resumed about 2mm into the print so it will hit the print. If I have G28 X Y the print will restart about 2 mm above the print.

Are you certain that the resurrect.g file was created when you lost power, and not some time earlier when you paused the print? If there isn't enough power to move the head up 3mm, perhaps there isn't enough power to save the resurrect.g file either. This line in resurrect.g:
M26 S48738 P0.000
tells me that the print was stopped between moves, rather than in the middle of a move as I would expect with a power failure. Also the header:
; File "cilindru5.gcode" resume print after print paused at 2017-11-06 13:04
says it was created due to a pause, not a power failure.
Try removing the M913 X0 Y0 from the start of your power fail script. This should be OK in beta 6 but wasn't in beta 4.

I tried again. This is the gcode. I'm sure ressurect.g has time to be created

M24I placed a piece of sticky band where my Z level was when the power droped. And with G28 in ressurect-prologue.g clearly the Z is going way down when the print is restarting.(I'm testing without extruding filament to not damage something). Can my resume.g file somehow influent this?

I have changed my last part of ressurect.g code from:
G0 F6000 Z5.001
G0 F6000 X116.30 Y99.47
G0 F6000 Z3.001

M24So the height of the object at the moment of power outage is 3mm(from DWC) . After G28 ressurect.g tells to the head to go 2mm above the print (5mm) but now 5mm from DWC is actually the height of the print( witch was 3mm in reality. So datas from DWC does not correspond with reality). Now, this is when the problem begin. Ressurect.g tells to the head to go down by 2mm and the print head will hit the print. I tried to change G0 F6000 Z5.001 with G0 F6000 Z7.001 and G0 F6000 Z3.001 with G0 F6000 Z5.001 and the print head now will go for real 2mm above the print, it will come down at 5 (in reality is 3) and start printing and everything is fine but after two seconds or so something is telling to the head to go again 2 mm down. So it's like DWC is always offset with 2mm from the real values. This happens only after the power outage. Otherwise everything is fine. My steps/mm are calibrated and the gantry is not going down when the power drops.

It sounds to me that there is a difference of 2mm in where the printer thinks Z=0 is after you home it in resurrect-prologue.g. If you turn the printer on and send "M98 Presurrect-prologue.g" instead of pressing the home all button, does it home correctly - in particular, is the Z height correct?
-
I turned on the printer, I sent M98 Presurrect-prologue.g and the printer did a normal home procedure. My normal home all procedure is this:

G1 Z5 F100So after "M98 Presurrect-prologue.g" Z axis stays at 5mm height because this is what homeall.g is telling to do. After I run ressurect.g the Z axis is rising from 5mm (home position of Z) to let's say 10 mm where the print was intrerupted. And then goes gown at 8. This is totally wrong. It should go up at 12 and then go down at 10.
It's frustrating. I have 30 intrerruptions to make this work and I still can t manage what s wrong.
-
After homing Z, do you normally use the Z probe to do any sort of calibration or bed compensation or to set the Z=0 height before printing?
-
Ok, so the problem was
; Tell the firmware where we are
G92 Z2.5this line of gcode from homeall.g .I have disabled it and now it's working great. I can't believe, such a thiny detail… But now I understand the point.
Now, how can I make to have the ressurect.g file to be saved automatically to SD Card?
