(SOLVED) Duet Wifi slow printing
-
Hey everyone, I am new to the Duet line of boards and just got mine up and running tonight. So far everything is working great but it is printing very slow. I am not familiar with the config files that much yet and how to edit them or how to understand them rather. Is there some section in the config.g file that controls how fast it prints?
Here is a short video of how it is printing. It speeds up and slows down which I am not used to and at this point should be printing around 50mm/s.

Looks like maybe your acceleration limits are low, can you post config.g here?
-
See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Configuring_RepRapFirmware_for_a_Cartesian_printer for information on the config.g file. You can also use the tool at https://configurator.reprapfirmware.org to generate the file for you. I agree with Tim, the acceleration looks too low.

Disable or reduce your pressure advance setting.

Here is my config.g. I just used what ever was the default that came from the on line configurator.
; General preferences
M111 S0 ; Debugging off
G21 ; Work in millimetres
G90 ; Send absolute coordinates…
M83 ; ...but relative extruder moves

M84 S30 ; Set idle timeout; Heaters
M143 S260 ; Set maximum heater temperature to 260C
M305 P0 T100000 B3950 C0 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0

G10 P0 X0 Y0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets
G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C -
Another question. Do you have to do a reset to get changes in the config.g to take effect? making changes after each print to tweek the speeds but not seeing much change.
What do you guys use for your accelerations?
-
You have to reset, initiate the config.g file via gcode, or initiate the individual changed gcodes.
Your accelerations are very low, and inconsistent. See your M201 command. Perhaps you need the low accel for Y, because of lots of moving mass, but this is the reason for your slow movement.

Watching the video I think I would start with:
M201 X800 Y800 Z250 E2500 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2)After that go up in increments of 200 on X and Y only until problems start to surface and then back it down on Y and/or X. Personally I think having equal acceleration is best…but that's just my opinion. You can adjust this while printing, just be careful not to get a typo or you'll have some serious problem potential.
I can't really see the extruder well, I just know I run mine at 9000 using a 0.9 deg steppers and MK7 drives.

Thanks for the help guys. Did some tweaking tonight and it is starting to get better. Few more test runs and I think I will have it lined out.
