Explanation for "flow sensor detection margin" setting in material profile - can this help with ER65?


Recommended Posts

Posted · Explanation for "flow sensor detection margin" setting in material profile - can this help with ER65?

Hi all, I own S5 pro bundle and print various materials favorably ASA, PAHT, BVOH and TPU successfully.

For soft parts I have found the foaming Varioshore TPU from Colorfab excellent. However, here and then I get an ER65.

 

I like to understand how exactly the "flow sensor detection margin" setting in the material profile works. I cannot find any documentation.

Is my assumption correct, that when increasing it from the default value of 0.8 to e.g. 1.5 i decrease the likelyhood that the flow sensor kicks-in?.

When this error happens, i can simply press the continue button on the display and the print continues like nothing happened. However, with a 2 day print thats impractical.

 

And yes, of course i have read all ER65 support material documentation.

* adjusted feeders (higher tension for softer TPU)

* recalibrated the decoupler

* cleaned everything, good tubes, .

* dry material

* retraction settings for 0.8mm nozzle at 10mm for 40mm/s speeds (to reduce oozing)

 

Thx,

FG

        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.
