PID auto tune assistance
Good morning all,
I just switched over to a new hot end, the Prometheus V2, and I am having some issues with tuning the PID of the thermistor.
I am having large swings I the hot end temp @240 for printing ABS, down to as low as 227 and as high as 251. On the original hexagon hot end that came with the machine I didn't notice more than an occasional 1 or 2 degree difference, right now the temp is constantly swinging through the range of ~227 -~250.
Using pronterface I've run the M303 (M303 S240 C10) command several times, and I seem to come up with different results ever time I run it. My current settings are:
P: 11.32
I: 0.52
D: 62.10
Does it matter what temp the nozzle is t when you start auto tune?
What at about different temps? If I autotune at the default, just using M303, at 150 will that be a bad setting for printing ABS @ 240?
I'm running a print right now, but afterwards I will let the hot end cool and rerun autotune and post those results also.
Thanks for any advice!
Bill

Here is what I got when running from a cold start:
PID Autotune start bias: 127 d: 127 min: 234.53 max: 241.67
bias: 115 d: 115 min: 236.25 max: 245.00
bias: 132 d: 122 min: 233.75 max: 248.33

Clasic PID
Kp: 8.32
Ki: 0.41
Kd: 41.72
Note the differences in the results from a hot start and a cold start:
Hot start:
m301 p11.32 i.52 d62.1
Cold start:
M301 p8.32 i.41 d41.72
Now going to see if this holds temp any better at 240 with these new values.
