Print stuttering around curves, LaErrors
-
I have the same problem, the printhead stops randomly when extruding, producing blobs and a highly irregular surface.
The face shield perimeter in the middle is printed at 30mm/s, the right one is printed at 80mm/s. It gets much worse.
I then tried to replicate it with a 100mm circle printed with two perimeters at 80mm/s and one could easily see the printhead stopping mid line. How can that be? None of the blobs are a start/stop line.M122

@brisma Thank you for your response! You bring up some really good points.
Regarding the overzealous extruder jerk, Ive been told that its too high ever since I found that I could mess with it! I was under the assumption that the print moves would be dictated by the speed, acceleration, and jerk of the least responsive axis (at least I thought that was correct in Marlin). Therefore, I wanted to make sure that the extruder was unlikely to be the least responsive axis. Is this incorrect? Or maybe I shouldn't be considering it in that way?
Regarding the M906, I was just making it 85% of the max motor current (which is 1680). I could change it to 1400, though Im not sure that it would change much (though I could be very mistaken!).
My setup is Direct Drive. E3D Titan Aqua to a Supervolcano running 24V. As represented by the very low pressure advance value, PA isnt doing too much, so I could remove it.
Thanks again for your time.
-
@NitroFreak First of all, thank you for printing items to fight COVID!
Looks like you have many "Hiccups." In my experience, this has to do with very high microstepping. In your config.g file, what does it show under "M350"? For instance, mine is "M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1".
-
Yup definitely a large number of hiccups. @NitroFreak usually a result of using too high microstepping. x16 with interpolation to x256 is recommended.
Regarding the halting movement behaviour I may have noticed something similar myself on curved surfaces lately but I was also testing a new slicer release and wrote it off as something I had changed there. I did not look at a M122 at the time. I'll keep that in mind on my next print.
-
@Phaedrux If the slicer matters, Im running cura 4.6.0 (newest release). Im still getting no hiccups, some LA Errors, and stuttering behavior.
-
I was using this version of Cura which is built on 4.6

I have nothing out of the ordinary, apart from an external Y servo that i run with no microstepping.
Also two X axis motors that i do indeed run with x16 and interpolation.M350 Y1 Z64 ;E16:16I0 ; Configure microstepping without interpolation
M350 X16:16 I1 E16:16 I1 ; Configure microstepping with interpolation
M92 X88.89 Y360.00 Z3200.00 E411:430 ; Set steps per mm, mk8 extruder 94.3Any idea what else it could be?

Z3200.00
Are you using z hop or something? I might try dropping the Z axis back to x16.
The external stepper could be something but I'm not familiar.
-
Are you sure that your M350 commands are all after your M584 commands?
-
As an update, decreasing extruder jerk did not improve or worsen the artifacts. The issue persists.
-
I'm about to try a print. The mesh isn't very high resolution though so the curves are pretty facetted.

=== DDARing === Scheduled moves: 11250, completed moves: 11225, StepErrors: 0, LaErrors: 1, Underruns: 34, 0Only a few minutes into the print and there is 1 La error and a few under runs.
-
Changing X, Y, and E instantaneous speed (jerk) settings dramatically (both high and low) did not affect the outcome.
Changing pressure advance mid print (through M572 command on the gcode console during the print) also did not change the fact that it still stopped while traveling around the large radius arcs.
Below is a link to the GCode for the affected print.

@Phaedrux Hmmm, seems like you still have LA Errors, though you didn't have any pausing. If you are using Cura, may I ask what your Maximum Resolution, Maximum Travel Resolution, and Maximum Deviation settings are? Mine are 0.833 mm, 0.7 mm, and 0.015 mm respectively. Do you think that this may be the cause of my issue? They may be too low.
-
No stutters this time, but the model was very low res by comparison. In the next couple days I'll be printing another bunch of high resolution curved models. I'll check again then.
Max res : 0.05
Max travel res 0.1094
Max deviation 0.05And this last print was with that custom cura build from just the other day. Maybe give that build a try.

I also had this suspicion per this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvw3DrVAeTA
I changed my values to 1.133, 0,75 and 0.075 respectively. No change in the stuttering.
Also, it is weird because the duet being 32 bit should not really have this problem? -
I´ve now captured it on video so that it´s easy to see.
100mm circle, 2 perimeters, no infill, Z seam always at the front.
I dropped the Z axis steps back to x16 and 800 steps /mm. Yes i did use Z hop but i can´t imagine how that would affect a mid layer line.It is really weird because i used to be able to print at 250mm/sec no problem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Qg3nTha1AAfter that I didnt really change anything apart from some tpre, tfree and tpost files. But this is all single extrusion.
Here is another M122 after the circleM122

I remember, when i did the 250mm/s test, that it started to judder and slow down randomly at around 280mm/s.
What can cause the processor to overload like that with just 60mm/s? -
@NitroFreak Your video is very reminiscent of problems I had when pressure advance was first introduced. Although, that was with multiple extruders feeding a mixing hot and with much higher PA values than you are using. Still, I wonder if it might be worth disabling PA just to see if it makes any difference or not?
