Z stepper fails after print cancellation

Posted · Z stepper fails after print cancellation

Hello,

 

(print with PC on bay B for head 1, PVA on bay E for head 2)

 

I have a reproducible problem than happen during the startup process of a print (material loading...) in 2 cases :

- if a manually cancel the print

- if some errors occurs (actually ER56, the PVA breaks somewhere in the MS)

 

In theses cases, the Z stepper seems to be free, the plate fall down down to the bottom of the printer.

 

What's happening after this fail:

- reboot the printer (soo long) (thanks to the bad error handling of the UM5)

- happy because PC is still loaded on head 1, no need to reload/reprime it except if the firmware want to unload it

- not happy because the MS detected the wrong material on bay B !!!!

- reboot the printer after removing the spool on bay A (soo long) (thanks to the painfull RFID reader)

- ask the MS for material removal on bay E

- Clean the bay E = power off printer and MS

- reboot the printer (soo long)

- print again (seems to be good)

 

The PVA did beaks at the entry of MS, when the end of filament was just entering in the feeding box behind the printer

        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.
