Sometimes my Extruder will start spinning pointlessly fast and long.
Youtube Video showing the problem
This Issue only happens:
- When printer has finished a Layer and moved up to the next (right after the Z axis has moved)
- Not on all, but only on some layers of a print.
Typically it will be more towards the middle of a print, and it will happen on several (maybe 10, 20, or a lot more) consecutive layers
My regular Setup/Stack:
- PrusaSlicer-2.0.0+win64-201905201652
- Octoprint (Version 1.4.0)
- Tevo Tornado (with Mamorubot print-platform)
I have tried to test whether the source of the problem could be Octoprint or the slicer/gcode.
Octoprint:
The problem persists, when i print directly from SD
slicer/gcode:
Here is some gcode, one of a layer change where the problem did occur and one where it was fine:

I cannot see any problem with the gcode.
Now I am at my wits' end - what could be the source of the problem, and how to I proceed to debug it?
G92 E0.0
on layer change coming from? Because it looks like you're settingE
to 0, but then after moving in the X/Y, your first move has to spin it all the way to 470-something. Are you sure you're not seeing this on every layer change? $\endgroup$
