Target heater temperature is reset to zero right before printing starts, after G29 and G28

ovisopa · January 18, 2019, 7:06pm

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie in this 3D printer world, but not new to CNC machines, and microcontrollers (arduino), I build a 3D printer this winter break and started printing 2 weeks ago, as I hate to move around with the SD card, so I installed OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2, so far I like it a lot, exactly what I wanted

I tried printing a small cube, I did before, I uploaded the gcode to OctoPrint and hit Load and Print, it waited until the heater reached 225 degrees, than it started homing G29 and G28, but after this the target heater temperature was set to 0 AND IT CONTINUE PRINTING without heating .

I than tried a new model (which is still printing even now), it did the same thing, waited untill the temperature reached 225 degrees, did the homing and bed leveling, and than the target temperature was set to 0, while the printer was printing the part.

Any tips where to look for the error ?

Bellow is the start of my gcode, I didn't made a screenshot of the temperature graph, but after my current print will be finished I will start another one, maybe make a short video too.

I'm using OctoPrint 1.3.10 running OctoPi 0.15.1, the printer board is an MKS Gen 1.4, loaded with latest 1.1.9.

Thank you for any suggestions!

you using the ABL expert plugin?

Thank you @ PythonAteMyPerl , I tried disabling the plugin and print the same part I printed last night, and the heater worked as it should, it wasn't reset to zero anymore, so this is the problem, but after checking the plugin settings I noticed it already has an option to disable this feature, **

I don't know what probing has to do with a hot nozzle, or why that option exists anyway, I use a 3D touch probe, but can't think of any relation between the probe and the nozzle temperature.

PS. With that option enabled it doesn't matter if my gcode included the G29 command or not, it still cooldown the nozzle after probing.

I don't know what probing has to do with a hot nozzle

Traditionally probing was done hot after everything had expanded. I manually level mine when hot (I have no probe)

Ohhh , I understand, so far I print the PLA, and in the last week only PETG parts with a cold heatbed (21deg C), to help the print stick to the glass bed I use hairspray, i works great. I see only a slight warping after I remove the part from the bed, on longer parts (200mm long and 20mm wide, 15mm tall for example)

Right now I print a temperature tower test, to test the new tarantula fanduct, it seems it's the first time I can print nice bridges, so far I'm happy. Later I will try to print the All_In_One_3D_Printer_test model, and also will try to print the tower faster, right now I used cura, set the speed at 80mm/s (outer wall 30, inner wall 40)
