Acceleration test - but the result doesn't change

houpdelta

Hello,

I tried to do an acceleration test, but the result doesn't change.
First test I printed with no gcode modification of the part.
Second test.
In the gcode, I added the M201 P400 before layer=0 and every five centimeters, I updated the code with M201 P800, M201 P1200, ....
Between test one and test two, the parts are identical like the code M201 doesn't work.

I read in the old post, that I need to add the M400 before each M201, I tried but same result.

I have downloaded the part from the web interface.

I'm a beginner, I think we have a PEBCAK issue
Thanks for helping me.

Regards.

You are using the wrong g-code. M201 sets per-axis (X,Y etc). P (and T) is used with M204 to set acceleration when extruding or not.

So:

M201 X8000 Y8000
M204 P4000 T8000

Would limit acceleration while extruding to 4000mm/s/s. But allow travel moves to be at 8000mm/s/s
But:

M201 X4000 X4000
M204 P4000 T8000

Would mean that travel moves would still just be 4000mm/s/s.
Check your base M201 values and try again with M204

Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous post.
I have this in my gcode.

;Layer:0
M400
M201 X3000 Y3000
M204 P400

;Layer:5
M204 P800

;Layer:10
M204 P1200

......

;Layer:25
M204 P2400.

Does your slicer have any acceleration controls enabled? Can you share the gcode file itself?

houpdelta

No problem

AA8_acceleration_test_piece_modify.gcode

@houpdelta

Whats the acceleration on your E axis? Its possible that's the limiting factor.

Phaedrux

Yes please share your full config.g

houpdelta

You could find the config.g

config.g

it has been generated by the RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool.

I just comment the lines M201, M203, M205 to do test.
I used Cura to generate the gcode.

Thanks.

Don't do that. It's no wonder there was no change in the printed file because you've removed the definitions for all motors.

;M201 X3000 Y3000 Z3000 E250.00:250.00              ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)
;M203 X6000.00 Y6000.00 Z180.00 E1200.00:1200.00    ; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
;M205 X900.00 Y900.00 Z12.00 E120.00:120.00         ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)

Leave those in config.g. When you alter the value in the print file with M204 P T it will override the print move and travel acceleration the way you want and leave the other settings intact.

I just did the test on my duet 3 last night.

I followed the same steps with the M204 after every x layers,

BUT I also increased the global accel BEFORE the first M204 to make sure it's not limiting it.

So the first line would be

; Layer = 0
M201 X3000 Y3000
M204 P400

Phaedrux

Did you uncomment your speed settings in config.g?

Hi,

Yes I uncommented the line.
I did tests, but at the same time I have found another problem and I have to resolve it before.
I will post this problem in the right category.

Regards.
