how sure are you that this is correct for your thermistor? is it a genuine e3d hotend?

natty15d

@Phaedrux Its the same hardware i've been using for the last 6 months with no issues using the same settings

natty15d

@fcwilt just changed the settings to
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation

still has the same issue

natty15d

@Veti It's not a genuine E3d hotend, its a Trianglelabs clone with a 104GT-2 Thermistor Cartridge and Heater Cartridge 12V 40W 6mmx20mm

natty15d

The extruder stepper motor is a Nema 17 Bipolar Stepper 1.8deg 0.8A 120mN.m 42x42x22mm Nema17 Titan Pancake

Hmm..

Are you by chance using a different brand or kind of filament?

Frederick

Veti

just to rule out slicer, can you do this test with a different slicer?

Phaedrux

Firmware version 3.1.1?

Have you PID tuned the hotend recently? Is your temp graph stable?

The gcode is basically identical other than the feed rate, but trying another slicer couldn't hurt for confirmation.

natty15d

@fcwilt I'm using the filament I was using before installing the duet

Hmm...

Have you verified that the steps/mm setting for the extruder is correct?

Frederick

natty15d

@Phaedrux PID tuned last week and very stable temps.
I've been 3d printing for years but I've only ever used simplify3d, are there any other slicers you'd recommend

Recalibrated my wanhao i3 last week with the same slicer and didn't have any issues

natty15d

@fcwilt double checked that, 100mm is extruded

natty15d

i also changed to "relative extrusion distances" in simplify3d for the Duet, never needed that for the wanhao i3

And again, hmm...

What filament are you using and what at what temp?

It has to be your hardware or configuration as I have five different Duet WiFi setups and they all work fine at the slow speeds I mentioned.

We just have to figure out what is different about your setup.

Frederick

natty15d

PLA printing at 215, its all the same hardware, temps & pla that i used prior to changing to Duet, so i know its tested and works.
Like you say i also think its a setting ive not set properly thats throwing the slow speed printing out

OwenD

@natty15d
Is your slicer using volumetric extrusion?
Have you checked part fan speeds?

I'm having to say "hmm..." a lot on this one.

Have you watched the status of the print on the DWC (Duet Web Control) and verified the speeds are what they should be - taking into account the various settings of S3D?

Frederick

natty15d

@OwenD not sure on the volumetric slicing, will look into that, Fan speed is 100% after layer 1

natty15d

@fcwilt No i havent, will try that tomorrow

prusaslicers standard profile is quite good and easy to setup
