Improvement for the Dual Extrusion firmware


Recommended Posts

Posted · Improvement for the Dual Extrusion firmware

The code works as it should. As I now have a heated bed, I also added a menu item 'Preheat XXX Bed' to both XXX=PLA and ABS. Sometimes it's very convenient to have the bed preheated separately...

    Thats a great idea! I have my HB-parts already at my desktop, PSU is missing so I have to update mine soon.

    Would you share your code??

    Would be great if I could use it at my machine too... :-)

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm currently trying to get some movement into this issue on Github. I just left a comment there... Preheating the bed is of general interest, I think, as e.g. Cura first heats the hotend and then the bed (yes, I know the work-around by using the start.gcode... :p ).

    Thats an important info as I have not remembered/recognized this behavior and I'd like to get my HB working soon.

    Workarounds are always a second hand solution so hopefully there will be enough attention on this topic.

    Is there a way to switch the heating sequence in the FW permanently?

    It's not a question of the firmware but of the order the M109 and the M190 GCODE commands are placed by Cura. In newer versions of Cura, there are two commented lines a the top of the start.gcode which just have to be uncommented:

     

    
    

    ;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line

    ;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line

    Ok - I also found the corresponding posts. I will have to consider this, when finally setup the HB.

    Thank you for your hint!

    I see one problem: TEMP_Sensor_2 is for the third extruder/hotend (it begins with 0)...

    I think you missed to delete the old menu entries... the two lines which should replaced with exactly the part with the IF section...

    About the buzzer sound: you can adjust it with LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_HZ and LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_DURATION_MS in configuration.h...

    Honestly, I have no idea how to use it.

    I changed the duration to 300, compiled, uploaded and the UM freezed and gave a nice loud sound...: peeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp....

    Nevertheless, in my old version of Marlin (UM fork) I don´t find this settings, just in the new Eric-FW... :-)

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
