        if you mean the jerk value, that should probably be ok.

          M201 X300 Y300 Z100 E5000 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2) was 500 you changed it to 300 for stall guard

          300 should be ok for acceleration as well. It's quite low, so it should be smooth with the ball screw.

              well right now it's set to 500mm/s which is likely much much too fast.

              Try M203 X15000 Y15000 for starters.

                also tried M203 x10000 y10000
                sounds more like a stuck motor than a squeal now
                is it also necessary to keep X &Y at the same value
                is it safe to try lower values

                  here in my homey,g the F5000 is that a speed that also needs reducing also???
                  G1 S1 Y-260 F5000 ; move X, stopping at the end stop

                    ; homey.g

                    G91 ; relative positioning
                    G1 S2 X0.2 Y0.2 Z0.2 ; Move all axis 0.2 mm, clear stall status
                    M400 ; make sure everything has stopped before we make changes
                    G1 S1 Y-260 F5000 ; move X, stopping at the end stop
                    G1 Z-0.2 ; Move z -0.2 mm,
                    M400 ; make sure everything has stopped
                    G90 ; back to absolute mode

                    x is still a belt
                    and y 16/05 ballscrew as you suspected ...

                      No, they can be different.

                      @ziggymanpopo said in ball screw stepper settings:

                      Yes, you can go lower if need be, but remember that this is the limit, so if you set it lower than your normal print speed or travel speed it will stop it from going as fast as you request it to in the slicer.

                      Possibly. 5000mm/min is 83mm/s which may be too fast for it. you'll need to experiment.

                      @ziggymanpopo said in ball screw stepper settings:

                      G1 S2 X0.2 Y0.2 Z0.2 ; Move all axis 0.2 mm, clear stall status

                      You can remove this line not that you're not using stall detection.

                      @ziggymanpopo said in ball screw stepper settings:

                      ; Enable Bed Leveling
                      G29 S1 ; Enable Mesh Bed Leveling

                      remove this from the end of config.g and add it to your slicer start gcode after the G28. loading the heightmap at startup before the printer is homed can lead to problems with the homed z height.

                      @ziggymanpopo said in ball screw stepper settings:

                      G1 S1 Y-260 F5000 ; move X, stopping at the end stop

                      Your axis limit is set as 500mm, so you need to make sure your homing moves are a bit longer than that so they are sure to hit the endstop. Y-260 may not be a long enough move. Try Y-600 just to be sure. Same goes for the other axis.

                      @ziggymanpopo said in ball screw stepper settings:

                      G31 P500 X-42 Y-5 Z1.35 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height - is Nozzle hoger

                      Change the P500 to P25 for the BLtouch.

                        im not running the b.l.touch so i believe thats right and ill make the other changes you suggested
                        im sure ill have some more setting questions but i thing ill start a new one, its time to mark this one "SOLVED"
                        its running and and im close

                        im glad to say around M203 Y 500 it runs good... it moves at M203 Y1000 and its a bit loud at Y800 it has missed steps im putting this in for the next guy that has the idea too do this.
                        again i am thankfull to everone who puts up with us newbies.. cant tell you how much ive learned but this is daunting for someone who is learning my hats off to you all 👍

                        Thanks again
