Prusa MMU2, how to properly configure?

Get Help

in settings->printer profiles->[my prusa]->hotend & extruder I have it set to 5 extruders, shared nozzle. And yet I'm seeing this:

Send: N28 G1 Z0.4 F1000.0*59
Recv: ok
Not queuing T1, that tool doesn't exist according to the printer profile or was reported as invalid by the firmware
Send: N29 T1*0
Not sending T1, that tool doesn't exist according to the printer profile or was reported as invalid by the firmware
Recv: ok

Do I need to fix it? I'm getting multi-color extrusions, but that makes me nervous, obviously.

Line 3473 here seems to be what's responsible for that. Line 1867 seems to be the one responsible for adding them into an array if the temperature command comes back NULL. Maybe T1 wasn't included in the recurring temperature responses...?

But then again, maybe it assumes that every tool has its own temperature...! @foosel

3

Could it be that the printer during that connection once sent back something along the lines of invalid extruder? Because that would explain the message, as the printer profile sounds correct and shouldn't be the culprit here. Could be a bug though. Can you provide a full serial.log?

I turned logs on. I'll post it if it happens again- I was getting it fairly regularly, I thought. Perhaps it happens before the MMU is initialized, which would answer your first question.

FWIW, here's what my "bootup" with the MMU looks like. Everything is fine, though the long M-code (M1234) is interesting. I can't find any reference to that in the octoprint codebase.

That's what I was suggesting. See how T1 isn't represented in the temperature report? The line 1867 code would then add T1 into the invalid extruder array and Bob's-your-uncle, as they say.

Personally, I wouldn't have imagined a five-extruder-one-hotend setup if I were doing this.

6

It's normal though for shared nozzle setups and shouldn't be the reason for this issue here.

Invalid extruder additions should only happen if the firmware actually reports that an invalid extruder was selected.

So I had a bed adhesion failure many hours into a print and had to cancel. The serial log is clean and pretty until the cancel, where I start getting 'invalid' messages. I've omitted it aside from a few lines on either side:

That made me wonder if I'd put anything in my cancel gcode that would cause this. I don't think so; the G1 extruder commands should be fine, and note the M702 was sent okay.

and here's slic3r's ending gcode:

G4 ; wait

Oooooh, I might have an idea. The cancel snippet disable_hotends is the one that sends these tool commands with temperature to 0. I think it needs to get adjusted to only send temperature commands for multiple T if the profile doesn't have a shared nozzle set.

Yes that would be the solution. I had to take that snippet out and hard code one extruder for the MMU to work.

I pushed a commit for that and that will make it into 1.3.10.
