Hotend stalling during movement and baby stepping issue
-
@jay_s_uk Nema 17 (stepperonline) 1.8 degree 40mm in a coreXY config, I've just just tested each motor individually and they move absolutely fine but when they move together the hot end stalls and that was with the bed heater off.....
-
@jumpedwithbothfeet do you have the actual part number of them? what speed are you moving them at when they're stalling?

-
@jay_s_uk I've just turned off the printer and back on again repeated the test both motors work with no issue in both the tests I did, seems like its a power issue of some sort it that occurs after I heat my bed up, FYI I'm using two PSU's one 15amp 24v for the bed and one 14.6 amp 24v for the board.
-
@jay_s_uk the motors are -
17HS16 - 1604S - X1 stepper-online (taken upside down with my head under the heat bed!) running at 900mA
they stall anywhere from 20 - 167mm/s
I've now turned my bed on to 100 and repeated the test and they are working fine.....I've truly got no clue what's going on now
-
@jumpedwithbothfeet those motors are rated to 1.68 amp. the rule of thumb is to run them at 80% of the rated maximum, which would be 1344ma.
So I suggest running them at that.
Could you post a photo of your wiring?
I would've thought 15amp on both is more than capable (depending on bed size and amps requirement). I run one of my printers (not including the bed) off a 6amp 24v PSUOwns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is
-
@jay_s_uk I've changed the current to 1300 for both the hot end sure does move quickly now lol, i'll continue to test and try to repeat the fault, the bed I'm using is from the ender 5 Plus so it is fairly large 15 amps is just enough to power it but not much overhead if I remember correctly.
I've included two poor pics of the wiring, the motor wires go straight to drivers and all are 1m or less and please remember this is a work in progress it'll be a lot neater when it's done!!
-
@jay_s_uk so the fault is still there both stalling just at a faster speed!, bed to 100 then carried out my bed levelling macro which is -
G28
G32
G32
G29 S2
G29 S0I then carried out a test file I made that moves the hot end around which is just -

(repeated over and over)unfortunately I have to go to work now and wont be able to test more till the morning, if you have any ideas I'm all ears and thankyou for your help so far

@jumpedwithbothfeet it may be easier for us to help if you post your config.g file.
As well as motor current being too low, another common cause of motors stalling is acceleration set too high. Acceleration is controlled by the M201 command in config.g.

@dc42 sorry I did attach it to the first post but it would of made more sense putting it at the top apologies so here is a fresh copy -
I have not played with the acceleration settings at all in config.g as my machine is nearly always in a state of flux! so I imagine they are stock settings for the firmware still

@dc42 or anybody with any ideas for that matter! , I have been repeating the fault over and over both X and Y motors work independently but stall when used together so I cant see it being a mechanical issue so...
could the stepper motors or wiring to them be an issue will one drag down the other if there is some sort of mismatch?
would a board reset/fresh install be beneficial?Thanks Jim
-
Further update to my issue, I've stripped my top end apart, as a correction the motors installed are 17HS15-1504S-X1 (the 5's look like 6's) these are rated at 1.5 amp.
All coils measure approximately 2.3 ohms taking into account lead correction so within spec.
both motor leads tested with no breaks or high resistance found, and the crimps appear secure, one lead measures 102cm and the other 99cm, would 3 cm make any difference given they are running on different drivers?my hot end moves freely on its rails and all my pulleys follow suit, I'm now thinking this is a board or firmware issue, I cant see any burnt or popped components on the board although it is still installed so I cant rule this out yet.
I've run P98 on my config and multiple M122 during faulting and after with nothing I can spot with my limited knowledge, is there any other diagnostic tests I can run?
Regards Jim

I don't suppose you could post a video of the problem movement?
It may also be helpful to temporarily setup to run the Duet in standalone mode without the Pi to help isolate the issue.

@phaedrux, Morning well at least it is here
, I've just rebuilt the printer and I believe completely offloaded the 12v and 5v rails and my cooling pump as far as possible, however given that I had little running on either I don't hold much hope, I'm currently trying to get it to fail again!! as soon as it does I'll try and post a video, I'm also just configuring an SD card to run in standalone using the guide in your link so fingers crossed.Cheers Jim
-
@phaedrux, so I thought I was getting somewhere as it has been behaving but I've managed to capture it whilst it's faulting, the first 15 seconds show what it like not faulting -
I have attempted to set up an SD card but I found the guide a little confusing as they sort of reference each other but I will attempt to set it up for standalone again tomorrow I just need to do some more digging in the docs and forum to see what files I actually need on the SD.
here's the config file at time of faulting -

@phaedrux, So I have finally managed to get my printer running in stand alone mode, however now I have an issue I didn't seem to have before whilst using the SBC, my DC42 IR sensor is reporting as triggered before homing and has the red LED dimly lit at all times , the wiring I believe is correct using IO7 and I cant find any shorts -
IO7 3.3v to VCC
IO7.in to OUT
IO7 GND to GNDI also spotted an M950 that's surplus in the Z-probe section and also that G31 had a P500 instead of P50 this has now been changed to no affect, I have swapped around the 3.3v and IO7.in like suggested in the troubleshooting section of https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/mini-height-sensor-board/ I'm obviously doing something wrong but I cant spot it!

@jumpedwithbothfeet said in Hotend stalling during movement and baby stepping issue:
Fault.mp4
Thanks for the video. I wouldn't have called that stalling movement. In the context of stepper motors stalling would mean motion is completely halted. That would appear to be smooth slow down during curves.
Aside from the IR sensor problem in standalone mode, are you now able to execute the same moves without that slow down occuring?
-
@jumpedwithbothfeet said in Hotend stalling during movement and baby stepping issue:
my DC42 IR sensor is reporting as triggered before homing and has the red LED dimly lit at all times , the wiring I believe is correct using IO7 and I cant find any shorts -
Most likely there is a bad crimp connection or other break in the 3.3V wire to the sensor.
-
@jumpedwithbothfeet thanks for the video. Are you using mesh bed compensation? If so then I think the issue may be that you are using large amounts of compensation and the Z jerk is set too low (M566) to permit the Z speed changes that would be needed to allow smooth motion.
-
@phaedrux @dc42 thankyou both for your replies I got kinda side tracked by the IR sensor and it being fathers day apparently your supposed to play with your kids and not your printer
Anyway I disconnected the IR sensor and tested it independently and confirmed it is working correctly, very very very carefully checked the voltage on IO7 and it is producing 3.3v but not at the hot end so yup must be a break somewhere in the wire.
I do use use a bed mesh along with G32 as I'm experimenting with a tilting bed like the HEVORT and the bed is glass (black paper backing) with kapton/ABS applied so the bed mesh can vary.
I have not managed to reproduce the fault in standalone yet but I have not been able to probe the bed and implement the mesh bed yet either so that sounds like a winner to me, given my XY steppers where under supplied my Z motors will most likely be too so I will check them as well change M566, would it be best to slowly increase the figure and repeat until it no longer fails?
-
The default values for Z speeds from the config tool are very conservative to protect your Z axis in case it's very heavy and slow.
M566 Z60 for jerk and M201 200 for acceleration should be enough to stop any jerky motion from the mesh compensation being active.
You can check if mesh is active in M122, or simple force it active with G29 S1 and deactivate it with G29 S2 in order to compare.
