Setting the temperature difference Sidewinder X1

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Sidewinder X1
MCU / Printerboard:
klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

I have the problem that the actual temperatures of my Sidewinder X1 do not match the set temperatures. e.g. bed temperature set to 65 degrees - actual temperature 55 degrees. Nozzle set to 220 degrees - actually 195 degrees. I have already done PID tuning. I have also already changed the temperature sensor. Unfortunately no improvement.
Is it possible to set such a difference deviation in the config?

Usually not and since you ignored the request for the klippy.log we also cannot check

ah sorry - i forgot…
here is the log
klippy.zip (1.2 MB)

This is a very strange log and it contains an error that is really rare: MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Watchdog timer!
This means that in the MCU something went wrong, leaving it in a “confused” state.

Given this error and your strange heating problem, I’d put my money on a dead or dying PSU.

Turn on both heaters and measure the output side of your power supply. If it reads significantly below 24V then you have your culprit.

Edit: Mind this when working on your PSU: Working with Line Voltage (110 V / 230 V / >50 V)

Hi, i think tha’s not the problem. I’ve measured the powersupply while heating the nozzle to 200° and the bed to 50°. the voltage was constant 24,0 V. And the difference between set an real temp is still ca 10%. Any other idea?

Is the bed heater mains powered and controlled by a SSR?

In the second run the bed even does not reach 30°C.

I’m wondering the thermal runaway protection does not kick in.


Edit:

As for an ad, the printer has a mains powered heated bed. Take in consideration that the SSR is broken.

You might want to edit your first line - I was taken aback at the idea that the bed heater was controlled by an “SSD”.

That’s kind of “unfortunate”, since it would have been a straight forward solution.

Try building a new firmware for your board and flash it. Compare the version strings in web interface or klippy.log to make sure you are really running a newer version, i.e. the flash indeed succeeded.

If the error is reproducible still then report back with a new klippy.log. Ideally a shorter one only showing the problematic behavior. This means delete the old log, restart whole Klipper service and then try reproducing (do not manually edit logs)
