Delta running a duet maestro wants to sound like a train?

You could also try individual tower moves (G1 S2 moves) to see whether the noise is related to just one tower.

@dc42 Would you recommend running that with the end effector and everything in place?
G1 S2 X-100
G1 S2 Y-100
G1 S2 Z-100

No F parameter used for the following correct? Probably makes sense to home and use the full height of the axis instead of 100?

After some additional sad tests I think I may have found the culprit...stealthchop mode. If I switch to mode 2 (spreadcycle) I can boost all the way to 5000mm/min without any weird sounds. Not quite sure why that is but hey now I can sleep not feeling completely defeated!

Just for a complete picture I removed the Haydn rods and allowed the end effector to dangle with a 50mm print going. This video shows an increase from 1800 to 3600 and how the sound gets worse. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pCZNfyn7aQSvHeXK8

Ran in spreadcycle last night and had a print complete. Unfortunately still had layer shifts. Rerunning it now without filament to see if I hear sounds.

do all carriages move up and down without the slightest bit of resistance?

what are the motors you are using for a,b,c?

the switchover from stealthchop2 to spreadcycle at higher speeds produces noticeable noise and has a high potential for layer shifts.

You can use an F parameter to set the speed, otherwise it will use the default.

No, if you move individual carriages the full height of the axis, you might damage your printer. On my delta you can't have one carriage at the top and another at the bottom without the rods detaching and the effector likely to crash into a tower.

Which firmware version are you running?

[singhm29]

READ: FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 Maestro FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02RC5(RTOS) ELECTRONICS: Duet Maestro 1.0 FIRMWARE_DATE: 2018-11-28b1

I also reluctantly pulled a Duet Ethernet from another printer to see how that would do. No problems with movement as shown in that video so can rule out this being a hardware issue.

FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.02RC5

Probably a good idea to update to 2.04RC1

Yeah, I'd recommend that as well. Currently running on my large-ish delta:

Which is 23.5 hours into a job, somewhere between 15 to 20 to go... and printing flawlessly and quietly.

I have not tried to push or tune up speeds yet... and this is an experimental print in that it was sliced in Slic3r Prusa Edition.

Anyway, the point being that I highly recommend 2.04RC1 on a Delta.
