Temperature not stabilizing on Anycubic Predator

Bug Description

Hi all,

in case anybody reads this: Happy holidays, everyone!
So, here is my issue. I have upgraded my Anycubic Predator from the manufacturers stock firmware to the current Marlin v2.1.2.1 release using the example configuration for the Predator. While building and flashing went well, my machine won't print anything in the current state because it is stuck in the heating phase of the extruder. I have waited for almost 20 minutes watching the temperatures fluctuating around the setpoint of 205C. It never settles.

Things, I have already tried that did not solve the problem:

  • Running the PID auto-tuning
  • I noticed that the fans do not turn on automatically. I tried switching them on manually to "slow the heating" and prevent sudden temperature spikes but this did not help the issue.
  • Going back to Marlin v2.0.x and the corresponding configuration
  • Adapting the PID_K1 to 0.75 or 0.5 and increasing the PID_FUNCTIONAL_RANGE to 50 as suggested here](MarlinFirmware/Marlin#3211). Then rerunning the PID autotune

As my machine used to work reasonably well with the manufacturer's firmware, I assume that this must be a configuration issue but I am out of ideas. Therefore, I'd appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

Configuration Files

config.zip

Modifications as mentioned above:

  • PID_FUNCTIONAL_RANGE to 50
  • PID_K1 smoothing to 0.5

Steps to Reproduce

Flash the device to the firmware as described and try to print a calibration cube at 205C.

Expected behavior:

Stabilizing temperatures and printing.

Actual behavior:

Temperature never stabilizes. Device is stuck in the heating phase.

PID tuning can sometimes be tricky. You now also have the option to use MPC, so give that a try. As mentioned above, you should seek help in the help areas. With interactive help from the community it's very likely you will get your problem solved pretty quickly.
