Marlin Firmware Upgrade 1.1.0 RC8 & RCBugFix (For R1 & R1+PLUS)

Hi, I seem to be getting errors about THERMAL RUNAWAY for "ID:bed" from the RC6 ABL version. Is anyone experiencing the same issues? If so please help me out. I am trying to finish a print by next Friday and can not due so due to this error. Thank you.

 

I've rolled back all the way to RC3 and it still gives me the same errors. My board was replaced by ROBO3D and if worked fine for a while, then it just started doing it again. Even when I set my PID levels to my printer it keeps messing up. I have also tried to change the timing difference between when it should trigger and that hasn't done anything either.

 

Is the bed stock? Sometimes PID autotune can get messed up and give you numbers that dont work . This happened to me once on one of my other printers .Try setting the PID back to default . You can all raise the time and temp hysterisis in config.adv .

Try changing this code with 60 and 4

#if ENABLED(THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED)
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED_PERIOD 20 // Seconds
#define THERMAL_PROTECTION_BED_HYSTERESIS 2 // Degrees Celsius
#endif

Also make sure to check your wiring for the bed heater and thermistor. Could be something like a loose connector

 

Is there any work in progress on scrolling text? Or is this even possible with Marlin Firmware. I read on the reprap forums that Makerbot has this capability with Sailfish firmware. I would really like this feature as well as many others I am sure. I have a tendency to create very long file names and have to cut them down when I save to SD Card otherwise they all look like the same part!

 

Question: why isn't there simply a Robo3d fork of marlin?
If it's a technical/knowhow thing I will gladly help (once I'm done setting up my new v6)

Well. I think I might fork. it and add my local changes. Once I do I will share. (I'm so behind on so many thing since I'm doing a series of major upgrades)

@WheresWaldo Great job with all this like usual. I finally updated to RC6 using ABL (much faster)

At first glance I see a bunch of updates that I have to play with. Filament change continues to be quirky though.

So I added a different option into the prepare menu "Disable Extruder". Which releases the extruder motor but keeps the X,Y and Z locked in place.

So if I find I'm running out of filament and I want to change, I can choose "Pause Printing" then in the prepare menu select "Disable Extruder" allowing me to manually remove the old filament and add new one without losing my last print point.

If you want to add into your menu list, you need to update 2 files

1.ultralcd.cpp
after line 1128 add:
//Disable Extruders
MENU_ITEM(gcode, MSG_DISABLE_EXTRUDER, PSTR("M84 E0"));

2. language_en.h
after line 63 add:
#ifndef MSG_DISABLE_EXTRUDER
#define MSG_DISABLE_EXTRUDER "Disable extruder"
#endif

If you are using another language, you will need to add #2 to that specific language file and between the quotes put the specific translation.

It's a quick hack, but it works smoothly. If anyone does it, let me know how it works out for you.

 

If this helps anyone, here is my own github fork of Marlin with my changes
https://github.com/tomerorian/Marlin

The branch is robo3d-tomer.
It contains all of @WheresWaldo changes + @Marquis Johnson RGB lights with my changes and twists.
You are welcome to do whatever you want with it (at your own risk )
I will be updating my latest firmware there at all time.

 

@WheresWaldo I'm using the MESH build since it seems to work much better
