      That's exactly what i ended up doing to (well i setteled on 0.4), even though i would get the most consistent pressure somewhere close to 2, but it sounded like my BMG was one nudge away from exploding at that point 😂

      Designed new extruder mounts so i could move the extruders over the build area (corexy machine) and shorten the bowdens down to 300mm ish, so 0.4 isn't that much off.

        Aye me too... Most calibration things I can see the difference and select a good balance (although often having to run multiple parameter ranges to get a matrix of options - stringing control being a good example here, move speed, retraction length, retraction rate wipe etc.) but this one feels like black magic hah

          Just saw this tutorial pop up, note that it is for klipper-fw, but it should be translateable for RRF to i think. Gonna try it tomorrow and see what numbee i end up with this time 😅

                  I'm sorry, I don't have time to look at improving PA until I've implemented input shaping. But I've bookmarked this thread so that I can return to it. Pressure advance smoothing is something I was already thinking about.

                    while we're at it, is there any impact using DAA (Dynamic Acceleration Adjustment: M593 with F != 0) during PA calibration process? DAA is related to acceleration where PA is jerk related, technically one shouldn't alter the other result but... heavy doubt 👀

                    or is it better to turnOFF DAA, calibrate PA, then calibrate/turnON DAA ?

                      DAA might reduce acceleration, so it may affect PA - but only because in reality, PA should not be applied linearly. I think I would be inclined to calibrate DAA first followed by PA, however I haven't tested doing it both ways so I may be wrong.

                        Forgive the reference, but that's the way Klipper does it. First you do input shaping and only then PA.

                        Speaking of input shaping - since you are looking at it - are you also considering the option of using an accelerometer (like adxl345) to get the measurements? 🙂

                              I run a small experiment, printing calicat at 50mm/s with different PA values while watching the retraction graph on the stepper analyzer.

                              (my printer uses esteps=830 with 1/16 microsteps, such that 10 full steps on the vertical axis represent (10 * 16) / 830 = 0.193mm).

                              With PA = 0 it looks very very clean with normal 0.2mm retractions as set in my slicer (using BMG direct):

                              20210215-202653.png

                              Increasing the PA to 0.08 (my normal, BMG, direct) introduced small intermediate retractions, I presume because of the PA:
                              20210215-201346.png

                              Increasing to PA=0.2 made it really loud and wilde:

                              With very rapid shot direction changes such as these ones:

                                I generally make parts where the seam ends up on a radiused corner. And something i've noticed is that the seam will look really good for one sized radius and bad for another of a substantially larger or smaller radius.

                                I assume this is because the PA value was tuned for angular acceleration similar to that encountered while traversing the corner radius.

                                Can anything be done to take X & Y acceleration and jerk into account?

                                    Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it is on the radar.

                                    I'm wondering if one of my suggestions: not allowing PA to change the print head acceleration, might be developmentally cheap enough to try in a beta release?

                                    I still believe that when PA reduces print head acceleration, it could be adding to the issue of mismatched extrusion rate.

                                      Is this the stepper analyzer you are using? https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/21312/low-cost-public-domain-stepper-analyzer-season-2

                                      I'm curious if I could at least get a detailed step output from the Duet Maestro to track the extruder dur PA moves.

                                        I did a test cube, running PA only on perimeters, to see if in the simplest case I could improve sharp corner geometry and/or the seam.

                                        Print parameters:

                                        • 0.4mm nozzle
                                        • 0.15mm layers
                                        • 50mm/s perimeters
                                        • PA varied by layer from 0.0 to 1.5
                                        • Max Accel (mm/sec^2): X: 4000.0, Y: 4000.0, Z: 400.0, E: 10000.0
                                        • Max jerk (mm/sec): X: 16.0, Y: 16.0, Z: 4.0, E: 5.0
                                        • Print accel (perimeters): 1200 mm/s^2

                                        In these photos, hopefully you can see what I can in person. Everything looks best with PA nearest zero. There is a corner bulge, but it is crisp and only affects the area very near the corner. Once PA values rise, the geometry deviation grows away from the corner (especially in the decel region), without actually reducing the corner bulge. The 22mm cube measures 22.10mm near the bottom (low PA), and measures 22.26mm at higher PA values.

                                        IMG_8885.jpg

                                        IMG_8883.jpg

                                        IMG_8882.jpg

                                        I'm a little baffled at how PA seems to provide no benefit in this test. But, IMO, the corner deviation growing away from the corner has to do with the print head accel being reduced at higher PA values, and lends some credibility to my suggestion of allowing an option to run the print head "untethered" by PA.

                                        Thoughts?

                                          Generally you want to do pa tests with only 1 or 2 perimeters and no infill. Also you want the seem in the middle of a side if your slicer will allow that. If you slicer won't allow for it, print a cylinder of a large enough diameter that the print head hits the requested print speed.

                                          Imo, based on the last picture you have some serious ringing you need to address before you worry about PA.

                                          for reference this is what i have on my railcore running a direct drive E3d V6.

                                            The ringing is a separate thing altogether. I had bumped my XY jerk up a good bit for this PA test to mitigate some of the need for PA. The photos exaggerate the ringing a bit too.

                                            How are your flow rates the same for velocities ranging from 50 - 150 mm/s, with fixed layer height and extrusion width?
