Layer and filament estimation not working
-
made a Scrrenshot..print is already 1:45:00 in progress and still on first layer
https://imgur.com/a/q3tmb of the DWCand this happens with all prints so far
-
ok..updated to RC3 but the problem is the same…only one big layer in the timer..
-
I can't do anything about this without a sample GCode file from you.
-
will upload it later…have to test if its slicer specific
-
ok..made a calibration cube..
1. with Cura 15.04
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15f5AtY0VROXYdu-Rqe2Fgv7t0LyyHXp-/view?usp=sharing2. with Simplify3D
https://drive.google.com/file/d/17FLBhOeISPs6M6-l8X4HPyd2fQa3IvDW/view?usp=sharingmost settings are similar except in the S3D file the printer do that little wipe line before the print. Even tried to erase the 2nd G92E0
With the Cura file the layer informations are ok..he count each layer.
With the S3D file its only 1 long layer in the DWC…first layer 1. sec ( thats the prime/wipe line in my starting code)..2nd layer...endless
DWC after the S3D print: "Layer: 2 of 83, Filament Usage: 1598.2mm of 1601.2mm (3.0mm remaining)"
strange
hmm I should start doing LEGO bricks instead of Calibration Cube..so they are at least useful
-
Already had the spare time to look at the gCode files?

Having layer and estimation problems myself. I posted thinking it was a problem with Cura but I'm not so sure:

i have similar issue.
you can see that on the picture it shows 96 layers. however file had 6 layers or so.
even looking at progress indicator of 50% and 2 layers printed it gives an idea that there is no 96 layers

Thanks, that's on my list to investigate before the 1.21 release.

The large amount of Z hop is confusing the code that works out the total number of layers.

The problem is this line:
G1 X-44 Y-75 Z0.2 E0.5 F7000 ; Drop to bed
The firmware treats it as a printing move because it contains both extrusion and XY movement. Z is very high at that point, which throws off the layer height computation. The workaround is to do the extrusion in a separate move.
The reason that it worked in 1.20 is that in 1.21 the layer height code was changed to allow for slicers that use variable layer height.
