Issues with pressure advance since RRF 3.4

@bot said in Issues with pressure advance since RRF 3.4:
@r4ffers Make sure your slicer start gcode doesn't disable PA. Check every .g file on your SD card, too.
Can't see anything tha'ts disabling PA.
if I issue M572 D0 whilst printing I get PA0.095 -
@argo said in Issues with pressure advance since RRF 3.4:
PA 0.095 is quite high for direct drive setup.
Do you also get incomplete infill lines if you increase PA further to get less bulging corners?Doesn't seem to be
-
@r4ffers Did you try this print with different E jerk/accel?
-
@bot yep. Made no change to the corners.
-
So if you enter your PA value manually during a print - how do your corners then look?
-
@argo I'll try a print tonight, I'm on call this week.
-
@argo Hi, so started the print off issued M572 D0 to report current PA of 0.095. M572 D0 S0 to clear PA then issued M572 D0 S0.085. Issued M572 D0 to report current PA of 0.085. Here is the result.
Corners look miles better. I did notice the infill not quite reaching the internal perimeter in places.
Also note the walls on the square top layer, PA is working when manually input during print and as expected with such a high value for direct extruder.Hope this helps.

I’ll do the same test when I’m back from my business trip on Friday.
Though PA is reporting the correct value you set it to 0 and again to the value it was before and it works?
-
@argo I set it to zero 1st just to make sure it reported the change. In my config I had it set at 0.095 but I manually set it to 0.085. I'm fairly sure I used to have it set at 0.055, if I get chance tonight I'll try it at that and see what happens. I've looked through everything and can't find anything that would disable PA .
It'll be interesting to see if your PA works manually.

It seems like a better test might be to start the print, verify the supposed PA setting via console, let it print for some amount of time. Then, re-command the same PA value and see if the print changes.
-
@ccs86 I've proved that already.
-
I also did the test you described but the corners are still bulging at PA 0.052 for PLA.
-
Seeing this thread, I really wish I had spent time making that band-aid test print use a bit less plastic...
-
I’ve looked at your print again and spotted holes in your infill lines. That’s usually due too much pressure advance. You are using your LGX lite in a direct drive setup? Then for PLA a value around 0.05 and 0.06 is usually the best value. For ABS it’s even lower.
I’m curious how your infill looks like. I’m also getting nice(er) corners with a much too high PA value (you are at 0.09?) but then also get holes in perimeters / solid fill and infill lines don’t connect anymore - what is to be expected with too high PA.@Wulfsta
Didn’t know you are registered here. Would have mentioned that the test print was from you. -
After synchronizing with @Argo what already has been tested and what not I wanted to rule out that the problem is caused by the 1LC toolboard.
Top: E stepper comnnected to a Duet3 3HC
Bottom: E stepper connected to 1LCSo at least we are now sure that it is not related to the 1LC.
My setup:
Same printer as @Argo

Looks like I’m not alone with the issue anymore. Any news of an possible fix? And if possible, can we somehow assist in collecting more data (debug firmware with more logging?) for you to fix the issue?
-
@MartinNYHC That's a very useful test. If you are interested in running more tests, then trying the same print with an older version of the firmware (probably pre input shaping so 3.3) might provide some interesting input. It would also be useful to run the same test (on 3.4.3) with input shaping disabled.
It also looks to me as if you could use a higher value for the pressure advance setting on that print (with the input shaping setting you have), did you try that (I see you have a higher setting commented out)?
-
@gloomyandy I already tried lots of different settings within the last few months but that doesn't change anything. The same applies to the RRF version - same results as @Argo starting with 3.4.
-
@MartinNYHC It would really help to see the following prints alongside each other. I don't think we really have good examples at the moment. Ideally using the same gcode....
- A print using RRF 3.3 (ideally both with and without the toolboard)
- A print using RRF 3.4 but with input shaping disabled (again with and without a toolboard)
- A print using RRF 3.4 with input shaping enabled (I think we already have these, but it would be good to confirm them with the same settings and gcode).
Hopefully all test prints using the same filament etc.
At the moment we have a lot of examples but I don't think we have a consistent set using exactly the same hardware and gcode. I don't think we have any hard evidence that things changed from 3.3 to 3.4.
The current situation (as I understand it) is....
Argo saw differences going from 3.3 to 3.4, but he also switched from a directly connected extruder to using a toolboard. When he went back to 3.3 (still using a toolboard) the problem he is seeing seemed to also show in 3.3.Your test posted above seems to indicate that you are seeing a problem with 3.4 and that the problem is the same both with and without a toolboard (however both prints are using input shaping, so that may have some impact on this, most people seem to think that PA needs to be changed when input shaping is in use).
I realise that this is a lot of work, but I think you are in a really good position to test this. I've been trying to reproduce the issue, but have not been able to do so, my understanding is that DC42 has also not been able to reproduce the problems. If there is a difference between 3.3 and 3.4 then having a definitive example would really help.
-
What I also did change was the hotend when I installed the tool board and installed RRF 3.4.
It’s a Rapido hotend. The same one @MartinNYHC uses. I don’t know how the hotend can be the cause but I could switch back to the Mosquito as my bedslinger with RRF 3.4 also has an Mosquito and no issues.
