Printing stop momentarily
-
Hi all, I have a problem with the head stopping for a second or so about every minute or less depending on the size of the object being printed. All my other printers are a fluid motion, this Duet2 WiFi one appears to be jerking and stopping and starting.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
This is the Diagnostics log.

@Rattlemycage are you using bed mesh compensation and if so, how smooth/flat is your mesh?
You might be having the same problem as this: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/17122/jumpy-x-y-movement-on-maestro
Your Z Jerk and Accel are quite low (note the Jerk units are mm/min, not mm/s!) so might be affecting X/Y movement if the bed can't keep up with the mesh compensation. lf this is the case, fixing the bed/the height map is also a good idea
-
I am not using using bed mesh compensation. What speeds do you suggest i take my Z Jerk and Accel ?
More so how do I alter it?
Thank you.
-
@Rattlemycage if you are not using bed mesh compensation, it could also be that you have your slicer set to 'Lift Z' on a retract?
My Zaxis settings are: 75 mm/min Jerk & 200 mm/s^2 accel
I have 3 Z-motors wired in series to the Duet so can't run them very hard/fast - they used to be faster/higher accel/Jerk when I only had 2 Z-motors. When setting these, I just kept adjusting the numbers whilst moving the Z axis up and down ~20mm until I found the limit where the Z- motors would start skipping steps. I then set my Jerk/Accel to be a bit less than that to be on the safe side.
Other thought, It could equally be your extruder motor settings causing slow retractions (exactly as with the Z-axis) as these look a little low (depending on your setup). Try increasing the extruder Jerk and Accel settings and see if that helps.
On either of these, your motor currents are all set at 800mA. Not sure what your motors are (so check what their limits are!) but you could go higher to get more torque and so allow higher accel and jerk values.
For all of these, just update the numbers in right lines the config.g file via Duet Web Control, save it and reboot the Duet. Whilst tuning, you can temporarily tweak them by sending the relevant comands via the G-code command line in DWC
-
Thank you so much for your assistance.

Also, what slicer are you using? Could you share a video of the behaviour?
-
Are you printing the file from the built-in SD card, or some other way (e.g. via USB or an external SD card)?
-
I am printing the file via the Duet Web Control 2.0.4
The slicer is Simplify3D.
When the head stops it leaves small blobs of filament.
-
I increased the speed. without success. Still stopping. What am I missing guys?

@Rattlemycage Does this momentary stopping coincide with a layer change, or with a retraction, or is it seemingly random? Can you make and post a video of it happening?
-
@Rattlemycage, It is seemly random. On a single layer of an object perimeter, say 4 inches by 5, it might actually come to a stop 7 or more times. I tried to upload a video but my files are larger than the 4mb permitted.
-
For larger files you will need to host them on a file sharing cloud platform like dropbox or google drive or vimeo or youtube.
Can you also share the sliced gcode file itself?
Your E speeds are still quite slow at 1200mm/min. That would restrict your retraction speed to 20mm/s. If you have a longer retraction move that can lead to a noticeable pause at travels and layer changes.
A low E jerk can also cause slow downs when used with pressure advance, but I don't see pressure advance command in your config.
I would suggest trying these speeds

And added the M204 command to have seperate print and travel move accelerations which should speed up travel moves quite a bit which can help blobbing as well. (assuming the blobbing is on retractions.)

Thank you

@Rattlemycage said in Printing stop momentarily:

Well you must first edit the config.g file either on the web interface or on the SD card directly.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_Web_Control_Manual
The values you want to edit are the ones I pasted above. Bear in mind that the values you posted are from marlin and are in mm/s and RRF uses mm/min, so note the units being used.
I would still recommend the values I posted.
