I’ve got a fairly new printer build here - I’m running a smoothieboard 5X on the latest edge firmware.
This doesn’t happen every time - so far 2/7 prints have run to completion.
It works fine for 25-30 minutes, and then halts with the error “Temperature took too long to be reached on B, HALT asserted, TURN POWER OFF IMMEDIATELY - reset or M999 required”
The problem is that there are no temperature issues - the heated bed sits within 0.5 degrees of the target after reaching temperature.
Any advice here would be appreciated - I’m rapidly running out of ideas.
Having similar issues here except with my extruder.
Im able to reach temperature with no overshoot and within a minute of the print starting I have a 4 degree drop which after a few minutes can get as large as 10 degrees below the setpoint. Eventually the print fails because its never able to get back to the desired setpoint. What would be the best way to post temp curves if links cant be posted?
Most recent changes
-switched to the latest build Build version: edge-9399ed7, Build date: Feb 7 2017 22:13:16, MCU: LPC1769, System Clock: 120MHz
-rerouted my thermister wires away from my 40W heater cartridge wires
-ran PID autotune with fans at 100%
I also have HALT errors due to the time it supposedly takes to reach temp… However, I was told to do many things, none of which have worked so far.
If I preheat the bed, it halts
If I print, it halts
If I turn heat on bed off , it halts
It did not do this until I put the newest firmware in, and replaced the config file with the one they tell me to use
I have two Deltas, the one that has never had firmware replaced, never halts.
The new one halts all the time
Today it halts with this error
deltatemp -26.420654
and all of the associated warnings and words…reset or shutdown, etc.
What is wrong, why does a firmware update take me out of the game ?
Why does the IDENTICAL machine with no firmware update since 2015 work perfectly ?
I was scolded for wanting to set my runaway temps down to zero, but even at setting of ZERO, which is supposed to disable the HALT error for runaway and taking too long, it still shuts down
Setting runaway to zero does not change a thing, the machine still halts , even after it has been printing for awhile.
There is no shame in saying , we have a bug, we dont know what is going on,
Please stop blaming every user, and look at what changed, and tell the users why all of the sudden HALT errors are every day and all of the time.

I might be having the same issue. So far every print has ended in a Halt. I was running through the SD card so I didn’t get the exact error message and I don’t have a temperature curve to export. After the halt the panel is frozen at the current state, the temps are all right on, but the Halt led is lit and everything has stopped and all heaters turned off. Last night it happened after 19 hrs in a build, before it was after 6 hrs, and 9 hrs. It’s random. I’m running the latest edge and used the mikk36.eu / SimplifyS3 file fixer for my gcode generated by S3D.
I don’t know how I can help? How does one properly debug this sort of issue?
I going to run a print with the bed off and see what happens. If it Halts again I’ll disable the safety checks and see what happens.
The machined halted after 12 hrs with the temp at 210 of 210. The whole build the hotend temp is super stable, hardly fluctuating a single degree. There are no fan changes or temp changes in the file after the start of the build.
Does it stll make sense to run with pronterface to get the temp curve?
What else could cause the Halt to be triggered? Thanks for your help.
@arthurwolf. I don’t use Pronterface so it’s unfamiliar. I started a print on sd card from the command line using @play /sd/gcode/myfile.gcode. It started and it was recording temperatures on the commands tab, but there were no incoming messages / serial communication stuff happening on the status tab. A few minutes later I noticed Pronterface kinda froze, temps stopped recording and then shortly after smoothie crashed/halt light went on, movement stopped everything shuts down. I don’t see an error message. Nothing is in the serial communication stream above the command line on the status tab. What am I missing? Is there documentation for how to do this?

This is from Simplify, going to Pronterface and do this again, will post that one too. This is still only happening when I use the new builds. However, I also zeroed out the runaway timers and it doest not change this behavior, no matter the number I put in. I posted my config above, but no one has commented…HELP ? Please ??
I see GuySnover has Cold Bed on his LCD, is that the same as ERROR: Temperature runaway on T (delta temp -20.746674), HALT asserted, TURN POWER OFF IMMEDIATELY - reset or M999 required
I have a new printer build and only a few prints completed, but now I’m getting the same error as those above. Specifically, the error says:
ERROR: Temperature runaway on B (delta temp 46.776978), HALT asserted, TURN POWER OFF IMMEDIATELY - reset or M999 required
I tried adding:
temperature_control.bed.runaway_heating_timeout 0 # max is 2040 seconds
to my config, hoping to disable temp runaway for the bed, but still get the error.
I usually pre-heat the bed before starting a print, so the bed is already up to temp. Then when I start a print, the error occurs when the hotend is heating. And the error occurs about 10-20 seconds after starting the print.
I didn’t change anything to the config before this started, I’m kind of at a loss of what to try. I’ll be watching this thread.
Thanks
EDIT
I tried setting the bed runaway temp to 2000 seconds, as well as setting the max wander to 62:
temperature_control.bed.runaway_heating_timeout 2000 # max is 2040 seconds
temperature_control.bed.runaway_range 62 # How far from the set temperature it can wander, max setting is 63°C
It still returned the error after about 30 seconds. The hotend temp was on its way up but only got to around 40 or so before the error.
Ok, yet again, I was the cause of the problem
I was pre-heating the bed (a habit that I’m not sure is necessary) to 65C, but I forgot that I had changed the bed temp for this particular filament to 20C (for printing on tape). So it was telling me exactly how far the bed temp was over the set temp when it halted the process.
What I don’t understand is why it still halted the process when I tried turning off the function (setting timeout to 0), and increasing the timeout and runaway range to near max. My guess is that since the temp was already high, and the controller did not watch the temp rise itself, that it confused the temperature runaway logic.
Either way, it works correctly now that I’m not making a dumb mistake.
Thanks for reading
