@oc_geek, please load the firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dupd9u1xppr1om5/AADYg4guuj2n8LJokVqtK-C7a?dl=0. When you observe the problem, pause the print and run the following command for values of # from 0 to 4:

M569.2 P# E0

Post the results here.

I'm sorry but i moved away from the beta
and went back in 3.3 beta 1 without mesh....

At some point also homing went crazy and
G1 X... F360 H1
was stopping in the middle of the rail without the sensor beeng actually triggered... i had to power off twice to get it back to normal....

[droftarts]

@oc_geek fair enough, thanks for your help. Can you post the Gcode and I’ll try and replicate on my machine.

I had a quick look at the OMC stepper specification, seems very similar to E3D/Wantai motors I have, and the LDO.

@droftarts

I tested a small print on my machine at 300 mm/s travel speed and 4000 mm/s acceleration (LDO-42STH48-MAC 0.9 motors) in SpreadCycle mode without issues.

Unfortunately I don't have a Duet 3 Mini 2+ Dual-stepper Expansion Board but the issue might only occur when using all stepper channels at once (just a guess).
Could you also replicate that part?

g code file exceeds the max allowed size for attachment

I revert sending you the STL(s), both were printed on same plate at once

• Part 1.stl
• Part 2.stl

thanks

[oc_geek]

@droftarts Argo might be right

Two (of four) of my Z steppers are on the Mini 2+ expansion (there were issues on those channels looking at the fixes done)
It might be that + mesh creates a bad combination... and destabilize calculations on X/Y/Z don't know what to think else

(Voron 2 has a four Z steppers gantry with autoleveling)

1. What fixes?

2. What motor currents have you set, and are you using fan cooling of the Duet? With so many stepper drivers in use, I am wondering whether you might be getting over-temperature cutout of some of the stepper drivers.

[oc_geek]

@dc42 said in Missing Steps - Cant Print SpreadCycle StealthChop tuning help:

1. What fixes?

this (3.3 beta3)

The 2-driver expansion board on a Duet Maestro or Duet 3 Mini used a separate channel to make it available as a pseudo temperature sensor, however that channel was not accessible. Those drivers are now included in the main channel.

2. What motor currents have you set,

1200 mA on all X/Y/Z

and are you using fan cooling of the Duet? With so many stepper drivers in use, I am wondering whether you might be getting over-temperature cutout of some of the stepper drivers.

indeed it is cooled there are two fans pointed on the drivers by design

Question: as i'm going to transplant the new Mini 5+ v1.0 soon
Is it better to have all four Z steppers on the 5+ drivers
and A/B on the 2+

or is it irrelevant ?

If they are all moving most of the time (as they are when you are using bed compensation) and they all run at the same current, then it should make no difference.

The correct way to cool the drivers is to use a fan to blow air along the line of drivers, in particular cooling the underside of the PCBs.

Would this do ? or better rotated ACW 90*

[dc42]

@oc_geek, this is where I would put an electronics cooling fan:

However, 1200mA per driver isn't a high current. Are the driver chips getting hot?

Honestly hard to say those are sitting upside down in the electronic bay below 35Kg of metal and plastic enclosure...

I may rotate the card 90 degrees if that helps... but again... i do print in 3.3beta1 without mesh and without forcing any modes and so on...
the issues comes when mesh get enabled ...then axis go crazy

[dc42]

@oc_geek, if you print with mesh bed compensation turned off then standstill current reduction will kick in on the Z axis.

Can you hold your finger on the Z driver chips while the machine is printing with bed compensation enabled? If you can't because they are too hot, then you probably need better cooling or lower current.

there are 1000(s) Voron 2 out there (made at spec) and none have these issues... perhaps those use different hw though...

@droftarts I encountered this and also on Thursday, how did we overcome it?

Sensitivity in homing files too low or motor current reductions in homing files - too low

• false stallguard like trigger appears - no ?

Youre on a voron with no stallguard useage - is the new fw youre usingor the config.g used have it on ?

very few of them on Duet 5+ - MOST on dual skr's - locked in stealthchop

@droftarts @dc42

Finished configuring homing, reset the pinda height after Wednesdays crashes and levelled the gantry. New mesh map

1st print much the same as before quite disappointed... Travel bangs and layer shifts.

@carcamerarig hmm, yes, very disappointing, sorry this still isn’t resolved. As you seem to be able to reproduce the problem very reliably, can you update to the firmware from this post https://forum.duet3d.com/post/226010 and report using the commands @dc42 says? The only way we’re going to be able to fix it is to catch the fault in reporting.

For adjusting the homing, I basically ended up doing what @SputnikOC3d says; I set the sensitivity to M915 S1, then adjusted the current reduction in homing until it stalled correctly. I tried it the other way round, setting a low current and then trying to set sensitivity, but couldn’t get it to stall reliably.

Edit: looks like the layer shift is just in X?

@droftarts

I wonder if you could get one of those stepper motor analyzers made by @zapta on loan to see if it can catch something?
