@homasholz Thank you for taking the time to submit this bug report!

I've confirmed this issue, seems we need to add support for extruder_stepper configurations which we currently don't have.

[pedrolamas]

I've been discussing this issue with Mainsail developer/contributor @th33xitus and we have come to the conclusion that currently, there is no way to know what extruder_stepper is active...

Klipper doesn't seem to provide that information and so Moonraker can't make it available to the API consumers.

As this will require Klipper changes, I am marking this as an "upstream" issue, and considering just hiding these controls when extruder_stepper are in the config file (or some other check).

[pedrolamas]

Granted that I might be wrong here, but from my tests it seems that SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE now works with multiple extruder_stepper entries (though it just sets the active extruder, not the extruder_stepper!

At least Fluidd 1.20.1 is now showing the Pressure Advance controls (though we didn't actually change anything!) and these seem to work... are you able to confirm this, @homasholz ?

[homasholz]

I dont have the sliders available.

[pedrolamas]

Are you using the latest (dev) version of Klipper?

Can you take a screenshot of the Updates information in Fluidd Settings page?

[homasholz]

i am on v0.10.0-615-g96ea871b

[pedrolamas]

Ah, there you go then! A have a feeling you will need to press that little "update" button next to Klipper to get that on working condition.

Be aware that if you update Moonraker you will also need to update the folder structure (it should do it automatically, but I've seen reports of people having to do extra manual steps)

[homasholz]

Ok. I have updated everything.
But no PA sliders appear (i think they should be in tools section).

[pedrolamas]

Maybe I was wrong then... Nevertheless, you might want to try and manually send a SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.5 and see what happens!

If you are able to upload a klippy.log from this printer so I can take a look I would be very appreciated!

Finally got around to check this again and now have a solution that involves showing a Pressure Advance control for each of the [extruder_stepper] entries!

Incoming PR for this!

[pedrolamas]

@homasholz FYI, we've finally fixed this issue on Fluidd 1.23.2!

You will now see pressure advance controls per extruder_stepper (#1022)

If you also update to the latest Klipper available (which I strongly recommend), you will also get options to view/change the synced extruder (#1034) and enable/disable the stepper (#1039)

I'd be really interested in your feedback on these features! 🙂

[homasholz]

GREAT!!
everything is working as expected with my setup.

[pedrolamas]

Thanks for confirming @homasholz , took a while but we got there in the end! 😁
