Pressure Advance Calibration

MartinNYHC

May I ask for help interpreting the result? Looks like the higher PA is the better the result? I'm using a direct drive. Thanks.

@MartinNYHC Yes it would appear that way buy you should also test with an actual print to check for any unintended behaviours of running with a high pressure advance value.

How long is your bowden tube? Have you tried the cube wall method shown here? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Pressure_advance#Section_Simplest_Method_Possible

@Phaedrux There's only a short PTFE tube between extruder and hotend. I think it's about 20mm. Will do some additional tests today.

I've updated the *.py file with

preamble
postamble
klipper compatibility
Marlin compatibility

advance_cal.py

These are my results:
Delta Fyling extruder PA 0 - 0.5 over 40mm PLA

Delta Fyling extruder PA 0 - 0.5 over 40mm PLA carbon fiber

I have tuned PA according to the method in the wiki, not with the script, but by printing a 100mm cube and adjusting on the fly. I have settled on 0.7, with a bowden tube of around 480mm length.

overall surface and z-seam look better, I'm now getting gaps in the infill - not in the parameters though . .

It's not uncommon to need to increase perimeter overlap slightly after tuning pressure advance.

Yes that's a valid approach. It's on our list to add a generator of pressure advance tests scripts to reprapfirmware.org, but it hasn't happened yet.

I know this is a super old thread but wanted to check anyway. Has the generator been created and added? If so, could you provide the link, please?

@tmitch205 my version of the klipper one generated RRF compatible pressure advance tests https://jaysuk.github.io/Voron/PA/pressure_advance.html

Couldn't get this working, turns out Powershell encodes terminal output as UTF16LE. It will crash the Duet when you try to start it. Convert to UTF8 and smooth sailing.

Thanks!
