Extruder issues

I'll be damned. Your code fixed the issue. Thanks so much!

I was right where you were not long ago as the site doesn't actually say no interpolation unless you click through a good few page and then it's a bit incidental.
Glad its working better now you can have real fun with retractions! -

Oh and you may want to try lower mA even but not higher than 500 -
Cool. I'm still a bit confused as to why this caused a failure mid-print though. Any ideas?

Technology doesn't need a reason !
strain maybe on the motor ? that's a lot of pulses !Sorry what are your step for E ? they don't appear to be set

Sorry they are below ignore!

M92 E2792; I moved it back to where the others were. Interestingly I changed the M203 E400 to E2400 and the problem came back. So now I am back at M203 E400. I am a little unsure if this corresponds to mm/min of filament or extruded flow, though I lean towards filament. I am using a volcano hotend and 0.7mm line width at 0.3mm layer height, giving a volumetric flow of 12.6mm^3 /s at 60mm/s print speed. That volumetric flow is equivalent to 5.24mm/s of 1.75mm filament into the hot end.
So for every 1mm of 1.75mm filament driven, you can get 11.45mm of 0.7mm*0.3mm extrusion.
So 400mm/min at the extruder equals 76.33 mm/s print speed at those specified layer heights and line widths.

Only doing the filament calibration will tell sorry you'll need to do it again.

Sorry remember my gearing is not the same as your mine is version 2 so you may need to lower that because your steps are higher and if to high its the same as increasing vref mA

If you had sent a M122 diagnostic after the failure you may have been a high number of hiccups, but that's just a guess.
