DAA Ringing help please

[MartinNYHC]

Did some test prints with DAA disabled.

Accel

Jerk

To be honest I don't know what to do now Not that big differences?!

[Phaedrux]

Well it definitely gets worse at the high end of acceleration.

For my external walls if I want absolutely no sign of ringing I use 600 accel and 600 jerk (and then higher for other print moves). So maybe give that a shot.

Though there still appears to be some additional mechanical noise that shows up in the repeating ridges on the long straight that don't seem to die down.

Photo of your printer?

DAA works best when XY jerk is low, jerk mode is 0, and acceleration is high. Your slicer may insert commands to change the jerk (M205 or M566) or acceleration (M201 or M204), so check that your gcode print file doesn't contain those.

The disadvantage of setting jerk too low is that it slows down curves.

[MartinNYHC]

Did a lot of test prints and found out that especially decreasing the maximum printing acceleration (M204) is having a huge impact on ringing.

Best values for outer shells I've found so far:

M566 X300 Y300
M201 X6000 Y6000
M204 P500

Added this to my S3D post-processing script:

[...]
        elif line.startswith('; feature outer perimeter'):
            linesNew.append('; feature outer perimeter\nM566 X300 Y300\nM201 X6000 Y6000\nM204 P500\n')
        elif line.startswith('; feature inner perimeter'):
            linesNew.append('; feature inner perimeter\nM566 X1000 Y1000\nM201 X2000 Y2000\nM204 P10000\n')
        elif line.startswith('; ; feature solid layer'):
            linesNew.append('; feature solid layer\nM566 X1000 Y1000\nM201 X2000 Y2000\nM204 P10000\n')
        elif line.startswith('; feature infill'):
            linesNew.append('; feature infill\nM566 X1000 Y1000\nM201 X2000 Y2000\nM204 P10000\n')
[...]
 

Will test this further.

Of course this will slow down the print massive but only for the outer shell. Let's see if this is something I can live with Beside of that I think I also have a Y axis issue because ringing is always a lot of "stronger" on the Y axis. X axis looks quite better.

Different mass compared to just X.

[MartinNYHC]

I think I cracked it down and found the best compromise between ringing and accel/jerk. It turned out that my ringing frequency is as low as 4.1.

But bet? Now I have another problem

Gcode looks like

[...]

Although the M566/M201/M204 values are set correctly at the right positions (and verified during printing via console) the solid layer is not printed with the current active values. It is as "lazy" as the outer permimeters. How can that be? Or is it not supported to change these parameters frequently during prints?

[MartinNYHC]

Got rid of it by disabling DAA for non outer permimeters. Will test this now.

[MartinNYHC]

If someone is interested here's the code snippet:

    linesNew = []
    for line in lines:
        if line.startswith('M557'):
            linesNew.append(re.sub(r'^M557 X\d+:\d+ Y\d+:\d+ S\d+:\d+', gridNew, line, flags=re.MULTILINE))
        elif line.startswith('; feature'):
            if "outer perimeter" in line:
                linesNew.append(line + 'M566 X500 Y500\nM201 X6000 Y6000\nM204 P500\nM593 F4.1\n')
            else:
                linesNew.append(line + 'M566 X1000 Y1000\nM201 X2000 Y2000\nM204 P10000\nM593 F0\n')
        else:
            linesNew.append(line)
    return linesNew

M201 X2000 Y2000 M204 P10000

Don't use M201 at all in this case as it's setting the upper limit. Just set it once in config.g. M204 is the intended way to change it during the print. So in your example, M204 isn't having any effect because 10000 is greater than the 2000 limit set.

[MartinNYHC]

Makes sense. Thanks for pointing this out.
