After Micro swiss DD upgrade,Extruder skips steps

lord binky

I'd pick at least a 0.9 degree step angle (400 steps / revolution) motor an for ungeared extruder. I'm fiddling with an E3D titan still trying to make the pancake motor work because I punish myself, spent a couple hours tweaking the extruder just yesterday to get it to stop skipping steps at just 3mm/s (tested without the nozzle crosses fingers). For an ungeared extruder though I'd probably just go with a Wantai 42BYGHM810 if I want some snappy retracts and didn't consider effects of weight on ringing.

Hi

i have this Steppermotors here,are they good enough as Extruder motor ?

@lui2004 Yeah that one looks to have a bit more beef to it! 2.0A & 45Ncm torque vs your pancake motor with 1.0A & 13Ncm (if I trust my German & that Amazon datasheet..). It may be more than you need, and will be noticeably bigger/heavier, but if you can fit it in and don't worry too much about printing at very high speeds, you should be fine.

Having said that, I would agree with @lord-binky that a 0.9deg stepper would likely be better as it will give you more resolution. TBH there aren't any ones that jump out at me on OMC. Maybe try Farnell or Digikey? TBH I generally just go for the E3D ones (https://e3d-online.com/collections/motors/products/motors) The 'Compact but Powerful' is probably about what you want?

Have you read this page?

@engikeneer ok i have order the e3d compact but Powerfull.

Somthing i must change with this Motor in duet config ?

Thanks

Veti

your extruder motor is a 1A motor and you are running it at 1100ma. it will get very hot.
but that motor is not powerful enough for an ungeared extruder.

i use the exact same motor on my ender 3, but with a bmg extruder.
and this mount
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3354741

and its working very well.

lui2004

@Veti yeah it looks interessting.

The old Motor habe 1.8 and the New one have 0.9 die i change somthing on duet for the New motor ?

yes, double the e steps

lord binky

You'll want to change the motor current to something like 1.4A to start with for that one (M906 E1400) and E-steps in the config (M92 Exxx), doubling what you have will get you in the ballpark. If you don't want to fiddle with the extrusion factor often you will want to fine tune your extruder after the change to dial in the exact steps per mm. (ex: Triffid's E-steps fine tune) since it'll change your flow rate.

Thanks for All your Help this forum is super 1a

Another to Double the steps is for x16 is it more accurate for extruder to make x128 ?

Thanks a lot

In some very specific cases where there is very small amounts of extrusion it can help, but in normal cases, no. Stick with x16 and interpolation. Using a 0.9 degree motor and a geared extruder should already get you up to around 800 steps per mm which is a lot of resolution without even changing microsteps which aren't as accurate anyway.

lui2004

@Phaedrux my E-Steps is : E137.78 and for the new Steper that i order the E-Step is Double also 275.56, make somthing wrong ? you wrote somthing about 800 steps

Veti

800 steps are for 0.9 + bmg extruder.

i would suggest that you start with x16.
print a benchy
change to x128 and print the same benchy with the same filament and same settings.
compare the print and decide for yourself if the print quality has increased.

it was just an example, sorry for the confusion.

For what it's worth, I use x64 microstepping on my Ender 3 to get the steps per mm up a bit on the stock extruder.

lui2004

@Phaedrux no problem

I have mount today the New stepper and the prints looks a lot better.

I got a free runout filament sensor and i have connect it on E0 stop but i dont know how to make the M591 for RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.1.1 (2020-05-19b2)

Ps: i got it i must switch the Red and Black wire

Thanks

ok thanks i have install it with success !

i connected on E0_stop and insert M591 in my config like this:

Last question

I want convert the x axis with linear rails mgn12 bit i dont found nothing for mounting for micro swiss direct drive, anyone habe a link to stl file?

Thanks in advance

@Veti

after i have changed the steppermotor this is my first benchy
i have a lot of stringing

increase the retraction distance until the stringing stops
