SO am new to Github but seems like the place to get some answers.

I have installed a TFT35 E3 V3 and an SKR mini e3 V2 in my printer and there are a couple of bugs i cannot work out.

I have the filament runout sensor attached to the TFT35 and i am printing from the SKR SD slot.

when the filament sensor notices a runout (printing from SD) the head parks as it should, then when i press resume it does nothing....then after a pause of about 30-60 seconds it says heater timout, when i press reheat it the heater turns off.
if i hit stop print at this time i get a message saying 'busy processing, please wait'

so the runout sensor is still not functioning as it should in the latest firmware (dated 04/02/2021)

I get the exact same reaction when i use the pause feature aswel, the head parks but then it will not resume in the same manner described as above

Any advice would be helpful

I expect you have the filament runout connected to the SKR and not the TFT, right? Add a M75 to your start gCode to solve the problem.

Which firmware version are you using, send a screenshot from Info window. I have been testing the Pause function while printing from TFT based storage and it worked flawlessly based on the settings defined in config.ini.

Pausing the print from on board sd does not work and there is already a ticket for this and it is mentioned in the pinned Known Bug Ticket #1218.

Btw, welcome;-)

Thanks for getting back to me, really appreciate it, i have had to take a crash course in marlin to get this printer working lol, its been a rough ride

filament runout is connected to the TFT

TFT 35 e3 V3 firmaware (i updated it to the latest version today)

adding M75 to my start gcode will solve the problem of the cancel g code not running? or is it something else?

M75 helps to recognize the sensor.

Pausing the print from on board sd does not work like mentioned before.

@oldman4U i think this was also to do with the other issue of the runout sensor and the onboard sd slot...that issue is apparently sorted but i am not sure if the firmware has been updated...waiting on clarification and then i will install and see

ah ok thanks, will do, have just flashed the tft53, tested the filament runout feature and it still is not working as expected, will test the pause...am playing with my marlin config to make sure there is no issue there....so at the moment i am unsure if the problem is fixed

ok so now when the filament sensor notices a runout (printing from SD) the head parks as it should, then when i press resume it does nothing....then after a pause of about 30-60 seconds it says heater timout, when i press reheat it the heater turns off.
so the runout sensor is still not functioning as it should in the latest firmware....any advice on what to do next would be real handy as im totally lost
I have some prints comiing up that will require a filament change at a certain height and at the moment i am not sure i will be able to do this with the setup the way it is

also after the filament runout has been tripped and it has notified that the heater has timed out and turned off, if i press stop i get a message saying 'busy processing, please wait'

Just tested the pause feature too, when i press pause it parks the print head, when i press resume it does nothing and then after 30-60 seconds show the message heater timeout, i will edit the contents of this post with the updated issues

i have had an interesting thing happen lately aswell, if i got to press buttons on the screen it inconsistently comes up with filament runout and then pauses the print (which i havent been able to resume from) i havent noticed a pattern to it yet so cant give you a steps to replicate but it happens from time to time when i press the 'more' buttton to then go and adjust temperature or something...i dont know if this is a known issue or not

You are welcome

Add M75 to the slicer startcode and let me know.

yeah sorry had a bad day with it all, got some help and solved todays trouble.....however the issues with the fillament runout and pause still remain.

I thought that this was a bigtreetech firmware, didn't realise all this was purely open source dev....do bigtreetech get involved at all?

I have been testing filament runout for several hours using the TFT firmware from yesterday and it worked great. Sensor connected to TFT - printing from TFT storage it triggers correctly and purges at the pause position. @digant73 Please mention this ticket in your PR.

Thank you

I have to add, that printing from on board SD card is still not 100%, where the print resumes sometimes correctly at the first time. Sometimes it only resumes the print after the second or third time, but it does it finally. Resuming the print from a TFT storage works 100% at the first time.

Please try again and let us know

Thank you

Thanks for that, i will update to the latest firmware and try again over the weekend

@Msq001 I believe all Pause and filament runout issues are solved now but this user does not reply anymore.

Thank you
