@dc42 said in RRF 3.6.0-beta 2 tool fan controls disappear:
@edsped fans set to thermostatic mode are not intended to be controlled by the user, so they do not appear in DWC.
Yeah, I assumed, wrongly of course, that I wouldn't need to revert the fans. Was definitely a brain fart on my end. I considered deleting the post but figured I should keep it up so maybe someone else could learn from my ignorance. Thanks for the follow up.
I guess setting the fans to thermal mode at the end of the print is a no no as the issue is now corrected. I'll chalk this up to user malfunction. Sorry all
Quick follow up... I may have found the root of it but it doesn't exactly make sense to me...
I added the following to my "machine end g-code" remarking it out and fan control has remained visible through a few test runs.
;M106 P10 S127 T60 H1 ; turn all part cooling fans off after hotend is below 60C
;M106 P12 S127 T60 H2 ; turn all part cooling fans off after hotend is below 60C
;M106 P14 S127 T60 H3 ; turn all part cooling fans off after hotend is below 60C
;M106 P16 S127 T60 H4 ; turn all part cooling fans off after hotend is below 60C
With the beta 2 update I'm seeing tool fan controls disappear and the cooling fans run at 100% regardless of what is set by slicer. Restarting the printer corrects this problem for a while but after a print or two fan control is no longer available. This was not an issue with beta 1 and earlier 3.6.0 releases.

Fan controls as they should be
Fan controls after a couple of prints...
A few prints in and it seems as if adding the M400 to cancel.g addressed the issue. I guess I haven't been cancelling prints on the alpha.. Otherwise all seems to be working as expected.
I didn't have an M400 command after the tool park in my cancel.g file so that may be the culprit. I'll add it and retry but it won't be until tomorrow.
@dc42 I'm not sure what's changed between the last alpha and the current beta but the Jubilee is once again dropping tools even with the M400's...
edit: on a side note it primarily appears to happen after I cancel a print and it parks the tool. At this point I'm reverting to the alpha 5 as it's been pretty solid.
Day 3 without any tool drops so I'm going to say inserting M400 prior to tool lock/unlock macros is working. Out of curiosity, will this be addressed in the final release or will the M400 always be required? It won't matter much for me as I'll likely forget to remove it when the 3.6 is released but I am curious.
A quickie follow up, several prints, maybe 50'ish tool changes and no issues. It appears as if the M400 is helping.
Will try the M400 commands and if they don't help, I'll disable IS at start of tool change and re-enable it after tool is picked up.
Thanks for the assistance
@dc42 I added M400 prior to macro calls for lock and unlock and stuck one in the macro as well... Following are the macros if that helps and a couple of pictures showing the pin when a failure occurs.. Pin should be horizontal when unlocked and stop should be at the limit switch, when there's a tool drop the stepper never reaches the limit switch...

G90 ; Restore absolute movements
@dc42 One thing that is consistent when there's a tool drop is that the locking pin isn't fully rotated to the lock or unlock position which initially had me thinking there was mechanical binding. I'll stick an M400 before the call to the tool lock/unlock macro to see if that helps. I've reduced my tool change speeds by about 60% to see if that helped and it made no difference, but I'll leave them low until I figure out why I'm not getting proper tool engagement.
@o_lampe I've lowered tool change speeds to see if that helped and it didn't. Initially my rationale for high speeds was to minimize ooze in an effort to eliminate the need for a wipe tower. It didn't work and I never lowered them but have more than halved them the past few days...
@gloomyandy Follow up several prints and a couple of hundred tool changes on 3.5.1, reverted to the latest 3.6.0 A5, (2) prints in and a tool is dropped while pulling away from the parking post. Config.g below

@gloomyandy Will do, switching back to 3.6.5 alpha from this link and will let you know. Ran over 100 tool changes without issue on 3.5.1. I'm going to stick with the 3.5.1 DWC and not use one of the earlier alphas that was released..
@gloomyandy reverted to 3.5.1 and am ~50 tool changes in without issue... Will continue to run throughout the morning and will follow up. I'm thinking it may just be wise to zip up my configuration files and link to them if there's no issues when running 3.5.1. One thing for sure is print quality improvement is definitely noticeable..
@gloomyandy Sorry to be unclear... No issues with 3.5.1 prior to updating to 3.6.0 Alpha. I've not reverted to 3.5.1 yet so can't say for certain it's a 3.6.0 thing yet only circumstantially for now. Will revert to 3.5.1 later to see if it's firmware or other issue.
@gloomyandy 3.5.1 Will revert at some point this weekend or today. The issue with the tool change is that it's so random. I can have hundreds of flawless tool changes other times they'll happen in short periods and of course it's never when I'm looking. As an aside I mostly do single tool prints and sometimes will have a flawless pickup and the tool lock will not fully disengage at the end of the print and will drop the tool as the carriage retracts from the tool posts. Other times the lock will not fully engage during pickup and will drop the tool as it retracts or the tool plate won't be tight to the carriage during print and the tool will kind of flop. My initial thought was mechanical binding in the pin mechanism but the mechanism operates freely. Other thought maybe bad connector or an issue with the stepper that drives the pin that just happens to coincide with the firmware change. I have a print that I need the higher quality for so will get through it and revert and print a bunch of parts that I've been printing to see how it goes. Upside is that it will also give me a baseline to compare print quality between firmwares.
@gloomyandy Timing was on my side this morning... Started a print and went for cup of coffee and came back to the carriage air printing, tool was never picked up and it doesn't appear that the twist lock was ever actuated. Attached video starts at the print being paused while tool 4 was supposed to be attached and printing. Clearly the tool wasn't picked up as it should have been. When I cancelled the print the carriage went to the return position and didn't appear to fully park the tool as the two plates never made contact and the twist lock was never actuated. I'm not sure if this is something in the tool lock or unlock macro or something else, again it's an issue I've never seen before and those macros haven't been "tweaked" in ages. Twist lock moves freely and I can't do anything to make it bind FWIW...
