Bug Description

We're seeing more "extrusion more is overloaded" errors lately. It seems to be happening more often with our H2D Pros when using Bambuddy to print.

See attached MQTTX Log. I want to be able to rule out Bambuddy as the root cause and am going to do some offline testing comparison on prints that failed and send using the same using Bambu Studio.

3DP-239-559.json

Expected Behavior

No errors: "The extrusion motor is overloaded"

A few observations:

  • The captured print (box bottom_3.24) was sent from the slicer directly (print_type: local), not through Bambuddy's queue or reprint system. Bambuddy was monitoring it via MQTT only.

  • The error 0x0300801E is a motion controller error (extrusion motor overloaded) — this is a firmware/hardware-level error that Bambuddy doesn't have control over during a print.

  • There are also 5 HMS errors active on that printer simultaneously, and ext_tool.low_prec: true (low precision calibration flag) — which may point to something going on with that specific machine.

    Your plan to do comparison testing (same prints, same printers, with and without Bambuddy) is exactly the right approach. That will tell us definitively whether Bambuddy's presence is a factor.

    A couple of questions:

    1. When you say it happens "more often with Bambuddy" — are these prints started through Bambuddy (queue/reprint), or just monitored by Bambuddy while sent from BambuStudio?
    2. Is this happening across multiple H2D Pros or concentrated on specific machines?
    3. What slicer and version are you using?

We're using Bambu Studio, 2.5.0.66. It seems consistent on all (3) H2D Pros. For that particular job, the user must have sent a reprint after the first failure from the actual printer screen.

I'll have more information today or tomorrow with some comparison logs.

Any chance this a resurrection of #245 ?

@Keybored02 I don't think so. That issue was 100% failure rate. This is more like 10-15% of the jobs. Today we had 100% success rate so I'm leaning more towards AMS issues than anything Bambuddy related.

I'm also of the opinion now that the H2D Pro is not the greatest designed Bambu printers. The dual nozzle sounds great in theory but it's actually more limiting than what it should be providing.

The issue seems to have subsided with some AMS reconfiguring. I feel confident it's not Bambuddy related now.
