Bug? In Retraction and Movement Junction

Phaedrux · 1 Jul 2021, 17:01

@bot Well he did try these settings: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/202855

M566 X900 Y900 Z120 E3000               				; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M566 P1                                            ; Set jerk policy to mimic Marlin and uses jerk between all moves.
M203 X12000 Y12000 Z600 E6000          				; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 X4000 Y4000 Z300 E3000             				; set accelerations (mm/s^2)
M204 P800 T2500								   ; set print and travel accel
M572 D0 S0.035 ; PRESSURE ADVANCE
M207 S1 R0.0 F3000 T1500 Z0.0 ; firmware retraction

I thought the results looked better, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that was only with 3.1.1 though, and not 3.2.

@jatmn, have you tried using jerk policy 1 with RRF 3.2 yet?

yes

these settings were tested again on 3.2 results was basically same as in 3.1.1

Can you show a comparison photo of the results of those settings and the print from the PrusaMini?

jatmn · 7 Jan 2021, 17:57

@Phaedrux

That was posted above already, but here it is.

Grey was RRF
Red was Prusa Mini

Video with more clear detail of the issue

currently my only running machine is a modified prusa mk2 . still using marlin .
if i'm using retraction , its easy to tune the seam to be a bulge or a void . invisible seam is impossible .
i dont see how its not tunable with rrf , same way it is with marlin .
i will try to connect it to duet board and compare.

@jatmn having finished another bit of detailed investigation i am now looking at this. The video and pictures are helpful, along with the detailed description.

Is it a fair to say in summary the key difference in that on a Z seam there is a "bulge then gap" effect, where as the mini/marlin printed part is something of a gap with no bulge?

Will look to recreate this using your posted gcode and settings, although i don't have an identical machine - should be able to get close.

jatmn · 15 Jan 2021, 17:32

@T3P3Tony That is correct a "bulge than gap" and in my tests pressure advance has more effect on the gap and start point and less of an effect on the stop (bulge). Values high enough to affect the bulge result usually in a significant gap (actually a hole all the way thru) and under extruded start point.

T3P3Tony · 15 Jan 2021, 17:34

@jatmn thanks, I am going to be testing without PA initially to help rule that out.

Luke'sLaboratory · 15 Jan 2021, 17:47

For what it's worth - I also have been experiencing less-than-optimal seam performance as well, similar series of troubleshooting steps, PA tuning, jerk/speed/accel adjustments, slicer tweaks, slicer changes, hardware updates, and the like on 3.2 (and earlier betas) I do not use aligned seam, so the bulges are everywhere and are just tiny zits.

I haven't changed my jerk policy yet and will change that to see if it resolves, but I eagerly anticipate the results from the work you all are doing.

T3P3Tony · 24 Feb 2021, 21:24

@jatmn Just as an update I did a number of cylinder prints here on a delta and e3d toolchanger. I can see a similar seam presentation as you showed with some variation between slicers (Cura, ideamaker, Prusa slicer) but not enough to be conclusive. I also tried the latest beta firmware and spent a not entirely fruitful time with pressure advance settings.. I ended up ordering a well regarded small printer that does not run RRF to use as a comparison machine. It will be interesting to set it up with both control options and run the same gcode through to see what changes.

Argo · 17 Mar 2021, 22:16

I'm having quite the similar printer, Bondtech extruder, Bear frame and so on with Duet 3 Mini 5+ and RRF 3.3b2.

So I also did a test cylinder and like to share my results. Printed in PLA with PA set to 0.056.

Pedoro · 18 Mar 2021, 00:32

@Argo Perfect!

fcwilt · 18 Mar 2021, 00:41

@Argo

It looks like the seam is showing "bulges" only on alternate layers.

IF that is what is happening how are you doing that?

Thanks.

Frederick

Phaedrux · 18 Mar 2021, 01:31

It looks like it's alternating the layer seam.

Argo · 18 Mar 2021, 09:36

You are right, it's alternating the layer seam.
I've made another picture closer to the print where you can see this more clearly.
I'm using SuperSlicer (inofficial branch of PrusaSlicer):

Anyone still has this issue? Was there a resolution? I might have something similar but I'm still testing.

How about you @jatmn?
