Extruder temperature is going crazy.

If I leave the extruder heater at let say 250 celsius for 30 minutes is pretty stable. During the print is reaching insane high peaks. I've not been using the printer so much lately but last time there were no issue at all. Now I cannot complete even the firstlayer_test print which is a 25 minutes print. What's happening?

Have you run a PID_CALIBRATE ?

Moophlo•7mo ago

yes few minutes ago and without any issue

TheTik•7mo ago

those spikes actually seem too steep to be real thermistor might be going bad at those temps? and mis-reporting, causing the heater to turn on when it shouldn't be?

Moophlo•7mo ago

maybe but how to fix. I've a genuine phaetus the one from the basic vcore standard kit is not supposed to fail after less than 50 hours print

Moophlo•7mo ago

here the logs, don't know if it can help

klippy.log

TheTik•7mo ago

replace would be the fix and/or diagnostic step Actually, triple check the thermistor wiring too Does the PID_Calibrate show the same spikes?

Moophlo•7mo ago

zero perfect

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

Are you using the MAX31865 chip? I and others have had issue with that causing the PT1000 thermistor to read +/- 3℃

TheTik•7mo ago

So it only does it under heating AND motion, further suggesting its a wiring issue

Moophlo•7mo ago

again i can leave the printer unattended at 240 celsius the temperature doesn't make a move, is a perfect flat line

TheTik•7mo ago

The spikes are bigger than that

Moophlo•7mo ago

speaking of spikes of +160°

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

yeah that sounds like a wiring issue if it is only happening while it is moving

this is on the logs

what kind of SD card do you have and how old is it?

Moophlo•7mo ago

on the raspberry you mean?

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

yes

Moophlo•7mo ago

is pretty new like 128GB

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

what brand?

Moophlo•7mo ago

I've to check for brand and model but high performance

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

I trust the logs when it says it is having trouble writing to disk

Moophlo•7mo ago

SanDisk 256GB Extreme Pro mmm

blacksmithforlife•7mo ago

yeah that should be a good card. Maybe it got damaged if you are seeing a lot of that in the logs

I'm trying an fsck let see with no print running:

Moophlo•7mo ago

TheTik•7mo ago

thats pretty steady with no movement

Moophlo•7mo ago

meanwhle I'm running a benchmark:

Moophlo•7mo ago

40 minutes without a single spike

Moophlo•7mo ago

can this be the cause?

TheTik•7mo ago

Yeah, undervolting things wil result in unpredictable behavior. And a thermistor is just a resistor, so if you're trying to measure voltage drop...

Moophlo•7mo ago

updates: changed RPI 3b+ with RPI 4 update2: the rPI is not powered anymore with GPIO, but has a separate power supply at 3A system load is under 0.5

Moophlo•7mo ago

with some luck maybe I'll be able to complete firstlayer_test print but still it doesn't look good at all

Moophlo•7mo ago

Moophlo•6mo ago

why? why? why? 😢 why the last 9 minutes of the print were stable? It was a wiring issue

TheTik•6mo ago

Tada! Glad you found it 😎

galile0•5mo ago

Hi, would you care to elaborate on what the wiring issue was? I am experiencing similar issue on my VC3.1 with Rapido PT1000. Might be in the same spot, considering it seems to be the same setup

Moophlo•5mo ago

Most likely it was a cold soldering I put the temperature high and than with the hand I bended spot by spot all the wiring group from the hotend to the frame And found out that touching in a specific point the temperature was sky rocketing So as I'm a moron and I didn't want to disassemble and redo properly the junction I just put there ten zip ties at half a centimetre one from the other very very tight and the problem never showed again

galile0•5mo ago

Okay, thanks ill go bend some wires then
