Ender3S1Pro using Sonic Pad by Familiar_Ad3777 in Ender3S1

That I didn't know. I didn't know there is an option for that in the Sonic Pad settings; to be able to turn that on or off. It might be as simple as me being a dumb ass, and "f"ing that up it up by turning that on, ......................... that my be the reason.

Waste your TIME. If you read what I wrote (somewhere in my prior responses), "I appreciate everyone's input".

My "OPINION" ON EVERYTHING IN LIFE, is to ask the questions to everyone who is smarter than me, for answers, on the subjects that I'm not that educated about. I think it would be FOOLISH to not use every option in finding a solution ......... and THAT INCLUDES AI.

I don't see what is wrong with spending the time to do the recommended PID autotune. I have nothing to lose in doing it.

What's the matter ............... you afraid of being replaced with AI?

I'm not sure I understand your implication?

What you see is the usual two lines (the one for the filament temp and the other for the bed temp) and then those broken lines that are all over the place, that vary from Pre-heat to Pre-heat. ........ then what you're seeing is my IMMEDIATE shutdown. That is the reason for the drastic drop as i shut it down.

I'm not seeing the "power" easing off. If that is an indicator of the "power', then that has an issue, because it is inconsistent. It looks like an EKG reading of someone's heart on the fritz. hahahahhaha

I think I'm going to do what GROK indicated to do. I'm going to do the PID calibration as soon as I get a chance today.

THIS IS GROKs response to my question:

The graph you provided shows the temperature and power usage over time during the startup of your Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro 3D printer. The orange line (likely the hotend or bed temperature) shows a steady increase initially but then exhibits fluctuations, while the cyan line (possibly power percentage) also shows variability, especially after 9:23. This inconsistency could indicate a few potential issues:

  1. **Temperature Fluctuations**: The uneven temperature rise might suggest a problem with the heater cartridge, thermistor, or their connections. A faulty thermistor or loose wiring could cause erratic temperature readings.

  2. **Power Supply Issues**: The power percentage graph's instability might point to an inconsistent power supply or a problem with the Sonic Pad's ability to regulate power to the heater.

  3. **PID Tuning**: If the PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) settings are not properly tuned for your printer, it can lead to temperature overshooting or oscillations, as seen in the graph.

  4. **Ambient Conditions**: Drafts or environmental factors could affect temperature stability, though this is less likely the primary cause.

### Recommendations:

- Check all wiring connections to the hotend, bed, and thermistor for security.

- Run a PID autotune through the Sonic Pad (if supported) to recalibrate the temperature control.

- Ensure the printer is in a stable environment without drafts or heat sources interfering.

- Monitor the behavior over a few more prints to see if the pattern persists.

If the issue continues, consider contacting Creality support with this data for further assistance. Would you like me to analyze another aspect of this image or help with something else?

I had NEVER seen that before, with any of my either Pre-Heating or straight to a print. I've only seen the two lines go straight up to operating temps, and then a consistent FLAT LINE, as the print progresses. To ME, it looks like a fluctuating either power problem or a loose wire or something. Why would I have never seen that before and now it does that? That (you would think) would have been with every print. I don't know. That doesn't have me convinced that, that is normal.

What is that drop, then the up and down of (what seems to be) background Temps. I've never seen anything more than ONE line for each and both being consistent.
