    @deckingman 4 mm/s/s? It seems he was using 250 mm/s/s accels.

      Read some threads about pressure advance, and people mention that extruder gear should 'shake' like shown on this video:

      My gear moves only for retraction and back, no small shakes. It seems that PA is just ignored, isn't it?

        @Phaedrux Re-reading what I wrote, I love how I disagree with you then go on to say in another post exactly what you said.

        I interpreted your words incorrectly before. PA might not be NOTICEABLE, but it should still have an effect on extruder position. Sorry for disagreeing before. lol.

          No worries, you got there in the end. πŸ˜€

          Slow speeds and slow acceleration means there's not much pressure to mitigate, so you're not going to see the extruder flying about since it doesn't have to.

          Try increasing your M201 max speeds to 9000 and your acceleration to 1500 and try printing at a higher speed like 80mm/s. You'll likely start to see some effect from PA.

              You are right - where did that 4 come from? I was dealing with someone else via a Hangout session at the same time and got the two confused (But 250mm/s^2 is still very low).

                So, I have increased all the settings to the recommended XYZ 6000 speed and 1500 acceleration - layer start started being less noticeable but, most importantly, the pattern still same from layer to layer (printed at 60mm/s):

                photo_2019-12-12_20-51-19.jpg

                so, speed seems to be not the case. Any ideas?

                PS - G-code reference mentions that pressure advance "Supported by RepRapFirmware-dc42, -ch and -dn." while I have 2.04 without any suffixes, could it be the problem, that I have the wrong version that just doesn't support PA?

                  Could you post your entire config.g

                  Those steps per mm look kinda odd, only makes sense to me if you're running 1/8 microstepping. Though, seeing as it's lead screw driven, probably for the torque? For the extruder, I'd still set the microstepping to 1/16 and the steps per mm to around 837.

                  Could you also post the gcode that created that cylinder as well as tell us more about the machine? Motor details, types of rods/effector, etc.

                    That's how printer looks like:
                    photo_2019-12-12_22-02-19.jpg
                    Those steps are set due to interpolation. I didn't find any difference between my current settings and 1/16 to be honest, so I decided to keep them as-is (torque is enough in both cases).

                    Motors are 1.8 degrees 2.5A Nema17, effector and so on is self-designed (this printer is 4 generation so I support some legacy parts there), arm distance is also custom due to my stupidity during initial design.

                    About cylinder g-code: I have created it using S3D and inserted PA commands before each line:

                    ; layer 100, Z = 20.000
                    M572 D0:1 S0.297
                    ; feature outer perimeter
                    G1 Z20.000 F1002
                    G1 X10.155 Y10.711 F9000
                    ...

                    I suspect that PA definition in config.g could deny setting the custom PA after but it is anyway high enough for my Bowden tube

                      have you considered that your PA is simply not high enough?
                      I have had filaments that needed 0.68 with a short 100mm bowden tube, and some that needed 1.0 for a 300 mm bowden tube.
                      Please try setting it at 0.8 or 1.0 and see what results you get. If the print looks different then you know that PA is definitely working and you just didnt set your settings correctly.

                        @NitroFreak will try on the weekend. I didn't try it before due to recommendation in the docs (~0.2 for long Bowden and ~0.1 for 400mm). And filament is PETG from DevilDesign if it matters.

                          Yes that documentation needs to be changed ASAP, i dont know how many people already did that mistake.
                          dc42 did the documentation based on his findings of needing 0.1 for a titan aero; however that one does have an extremely short filament path, and the length of the filament path is directly, loosely linearly related to the amount of pressure advance needed.

                          Your safest bet is to do a Pressure Advance calibration based on this thread,

                          https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/6698/pressure-advance-calibration

                          But do it from 0.0 to 1.0.
                          That way you will get the best result.

                            @NitroFreak okay, will try to do. And by the way, I tried to run the gcode generated by the provided script but Duet returns tons of errors and eventually hangs, that's why I insert the commands manually.

                              ItΒ΄s all explained in the thread, you have to use the start and end gcode from another program to set the temperatures etc. otherwise you will get errors. Also you have to make sure that the script doesnt return gcode that sends the print head out of bounds. Best use a slicer to visualize the gcode that the script produced.

                                @NitroFreak well I did use start and end. Interpretation fails on the actual printing code, I suspect, due to Win line endings, but it doesn't really matter as I have own testing model

                                  No, it should be supported regardless.

                                  Setting pressure advance in config.g and then sending a new command later is fine. The most recent command will take over. When changing PA on the fly there may be a brief pause at the next segment. You can send M572 D0 in the console to get a read back of the currently set value if you want to verify that it's set.

                                  M350 X64 Y64 Z64 E64 I1

                                  Interpolation to x256 microstepping only works when using x16 microsteps on the Duet Wifi. You'll likely notice quieter operation if you switch back to x16 with interpolation. The other benefit is lower overhead on the CPU which could lead to missed steps on high speed moves. You can check if this is effecting you by sending M122 in the console and looking for the hiccup count.

                                  I suggest pushing further with your speed testing and increasing the PA value.

                                    So, I made a g-code with PA from 0 to 1, and it finally shows some difference. But my PA should be set to:

                                    M572 D0:1 S0.64
                                    

                                    So, do I have to worry about such a high value or it is normal?

                                      @skayred said in Pressure advance doesn't affect the printed model:

                                      So, do I have to worry about such a high value or it is normal?

                                      Based on your testing it's normal for you. Only way to be sure it to do some more testing of actual models and watch for anomalies.

                                          Thank you, guys!
                                          The propeller was printed perfectly, with no stringing and blobs so I can fit it to the shaft, finally!
