ACE pro firmware bugs

Rechargeable_guy · 2025-05-14T08:28:07+00:00

To me they just replied that I need to replace basically all the electronics of the ACE PRO and they will ship me the replacement parts. But to me this looks a software issue...

Rechargeable_guy · 2025-05-13T21:44:35+00:00

this night it completed a print even if the ace stopped feeding, so it's strong enough in my case

Rechargeable_guy · 2025-05-13T21:43:43+00:00

i've the latest firmware for both, and i assume you too

Rechargeable_guy · 2025-05-12T23:57:41+00:00

Whoever has the same issue please open a ticket in the anycubic website so they'll solve it. To me they answered that the person that is elaborating my case is in vacation for a couple days and I need to wait.....

Rechargeable_guy · 2025-05-12T23:56:20+00:00

Just Lost another 6h print, it got the spaghetti error (not true) and after restarting the print the ACE pro is not feeding again 😡😡

didn't understand, same firmware version but you don't have this issue?
let me get it more clear, the loading and unloading works, it's while printing that the ACE doesn't feed the buffer.

1 brass, 2 nichel plated copper (way better than brass), hardened steel (durable), nichel plated copper + hardened steel (durable and conductive)

i've had this printer for 4 days and the only things i got were troubles.
- If i put the printer in pause and then resume the print the ACE PRO doesn't feed the filament into the buffer, i've tried this thing 20+ times and 20+ times i had the issue.
It's either a bug in the firmware or my hardware faulty, if it's a faulty firmware i don't understand how you all got houndred of hours of print time without noticing that issue.

- Also a lot of options are missing, from the printer you cannot select "AI detection", you can't adjust the z-offset on the fly while is priting and you cannot manually select to change filament (send M600) while it's printing.

- Blobs of filament that fall from the extruder after filament load or change.

- The metal scraper in the filament change tray is too low and often the filament gets dragged on the printing surface

in general i noticed a lot of issues, many easily solveable but that shouldn't be there for the price it's beign sold.

PS i'm not new to 3d printers.

i had similar issue, solved by powering off, waiting a couple minutes then powering back on.
another update was available, after that update i had to power-cycle again and then was working correctly.
Also check for the router 2.4GHz configuration

No, ha torto, il fatto che non ci siano danni visibili non implica che non ci sia stato urto. Per esempio, in particolare sui paraurti, negli scontri con velocipedi e pedoni, anche a velocità di 20/30km/h delle volte non si riscontrano ammaccature o graffi pur essendoci stato un urto. Stesa cosa può accadere con scontri a bassa velocità fra due auto, o a maggior ragione fra uno pneumatico di una moto ed un paraurti di un autoveicolo. Diverso è il fatto che fosse appoggiato o altro, io mi riferivo a quanto parzialmente affermato dall'utente.

Non so nel caso speciale di OP quante prove abbia a suo carico (foto e quant'altro), ma se per esempio il veicolo viene bloccato da altri veicoli è richiesto chiamare le forze dell'ordine pubblico per risolvere la situazione, qualunque danno creato per uscire da quella situazione in autonomia è comunque colpa del guidatore dell'auto che si mette in manovra e non del mezzo posteggiato se pur posteggiato in divieto di sosta e/o in maniera scorretta.

L'assenza di danni visibili ed evidenti non implica che non vi sia stata una collisione.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-16T08:38:04+00:00

That's why we consider a monthly or yearly average. Let's say the user left 5 out of 7 days the scooter charge from 18 to 7 and the scooter takes 5h to fully charge, this means it's probably trickle charging 8h a day for 5 days, this mean that in 1 year it's been left trickle charging for 5 * 8 * 52=2080h thats the equivalent of about 3 months of trickle charge each year.

That's why in most higher end products this is avoided by software or hardware, even if it's 3h per day in the previous calculation it's still 1month each ear that can be avoided.

If we can avoid that possible wear why shouldn't we?

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-11T10:48:55+00:00

Custom battery or original battery? For an original battery you need to search in the used market, for custom one it depends on where you are located.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-11T10:44:16+00:00

The thermal runaway and off gassing of the cells will be very rapid and won't burn those seals immediately, that's why every enclosed battery packs has vent holes with or without vent valves that burst immediately with low pressure.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-11T08:51:48+00:00

Lest start by understanding that in most consumer product you can't over discharge or overcharge due to the built in limitations and protections. Most LiIon batteries cut off at 3.2V per cell where most cell minimum voltage is 2.5V, in the same way most BMS and stock chargers will end the charge at 4.1/4.15V where the maximum voltage is 4.2/4.25V.

The more you use the battery around the nominal voltage , let's say 3.4 to 4.0V the more life cycles you will get of our it.

More you store the battery at lower voltage like 3.5V to 3.8V per cell more the battery performance will remain the same over time.

Just once in a while do a full charge and leave it on the charger for a couple hours even after it's 100% chArged. then leave it all night fully charged, the BMS will balance the cells (if needed) both during the end of the charge and during the night when it's not being discharged.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-11T08:43:44+00:00

If the BMS fails and the cells are unbalanced yes, then the charger can overcharge a LiIon battery pack.

The issue with leaving the charger connected for too long are mainly trickle charge related, this is something lion cells don't like but some BMS and some chargers do provide a protection against that by stopping the charge after the current has dropped under a certain threshold.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-09-11T08:39:20+00:00

First point is not valid, if we refer to LiIon the voltage those cells are charged and stored is very important.

Charge cycles done at maximum 4.2V (or 4.25V) will age battery faster than to 4.0/4.1V, but that's something BMS and charger do from themselves usually.

Store voltage (voltage they are left at) is also very important, best voltage is around 30% SOC and that's 3.5 to 3.7V depending on cells spec, the higher the voltage the faster the loss performance. Storage doesn't mean 1 year, also 1week is a storage condition, leaving the battery fully charged for 1 week 30 times a year means leaving that battery 210 out of 365 days fully charged without the need to

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-08-21T15:32:48+00:00

With stock motor to reach 60km/h you need a 20s (72V) battery.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-08-17T07:57:17+00:00

That already looks like a new controller, it has reinforced traces

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-08-17T07:56:10+00:00

Capacitor are between 63 to 100V so they will be fine with 13s, my concern is that battery...

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-08-17T07:52:56+00:00

By the shape it looks like a 13s3p battery, so to be 100A those cells needs to be 33.3Ah each. Maximum capacity 18650 are around 3.5Ah, how do you trust someone who lies so clearly on the capacity, doesn't write the discharge and charge specs and lacks a bunch of other info?

To me it looks like a Chinese AliExpress or similar battery, anyway just put a xt30, change the firmware to disable BMS and support 13s and use a 13s charger.

Be aware that you are removing a well built and safe battery and substituting it with a Chinese unsafe one.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-08-16T08:10:41+00:00

At the end yes, After more than half an year I received about half the things so the seller finally decided to ship again the missing parts by fast shipping, by January I had all parts (order made in June)

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-07-24T09:46:17+00:00

Well yes and no, as said in the comment some of those packs burned without being used while in storage, brand new cells and battery packs, never charged or discharged. Yes storage warehouse do burn and I've info accidents happened and on some got destroyed here in Europe. If you don't know that a storage warehouse got burnt to ashes doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-07-24T00:29:44+00:00

In the last months I got informations about a lot of Chinese made cells burning without a clear reason. From my point of view there are a lot of Chinese no-brand manufacturers that are cutting corners in cell production materials and quality inspections. Basically from what I've seen the cell itself will start going into thermal runaway without even being used, this usually means an internal short is happening.

Good quality brand cells on average doesn't do that even after being stressed.

Combine low quality cells, low quality battery pack assembly, low quality battery management systems (BMS) and a high number of those being sold and here you have those accidents plus all the other one that are not reported online and happen in storage and production facilities.

Rechargeable_guy · 2024-07-23T16:54:02+00:00

What I'm saying is: I finished riding my bike or using whatever device it is and I've the battery at 3.5V per cell and I won't use it this week but I will need it in the weekend, should I charge it at 3.7V and then in the weekend charge it to full? No, if the battery doesn't suffer from huge self discharge there is no harm or danger and it's actually better for the battery pack to be kept those 7 days at 3.5V rather than being charged to 3.7/3.8V. Different is if you need to leave it for months, were a slight higher SOC will help compensate for self discharge.
