Problems from the second layer to the 7th layer

droftarts

@carlinicompetizione Did you try any of the things I suggested?

calibrate your Z probe offset - https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_testing
try a print without baby stepping - set G92 Z0 with the nozzle just touching the bed before printing, don't home Z at the beginning of the print
try a print without mesh bed compensation

And one more thing to try: yes, your Z jerk looks high to me, and so does your acceleration and maximum speed for Z, especially for the steps per mm on Z. I don't know the layout of your machine, how heavy the bed is, or even if the bed moves in Z, or if your gantry moves in Z. So the values you have might be okay, but might not be. Maybe post a picture of your printer so we can get a better idea of the size. For example, I have a bed slinger with 200x200mm bed and 2mm lead M8 leadscrews, and can only move them this fast before skipping (though they are quite small NEMA 17 motors):

M92 Z800  ; set steps per mm
M566 Z12  ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M203 Z600 ; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M201 Z20  ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)

Yours were set as:

M92 Z1650.50 
M566 Z300.00
M203 Z1000.00
M201 Z250.00

Though I'm not sure why your settings would not work to start with, and then work okay at later layers. If you can share a full Gcode file, that may help.

I'd suggest setting low values for jerk, acceleration and maximum speed (ie like mine), and check if movement is correct. If it is, you can then increase them until you find the limit.

I am wondering if commas and decimals are interchangeable in config.g.

Your M566 uses commas and the rest use decimals.

In the config.g in the file everything is with a dot, but I'll check, you'll see that something typing is getting in the way too

In these days I made several impressions to fine-tune the resolution that until then I could not make due to so much instability of operation. The last impressions with a 0.8 beak are getting good. using simplify3D that seems somewhat limited compared to Cura.
Even so, when starting the second layer, the table does not go down to the correct value. When it goes to third, it works normally. It's very strange. It doesn't make any sense. I lowered the Jerk values a lot from 500mm/min to 300mm/min. The z was at 110 I went to 60mm/min, but I will lower it more to see if it solves the problem of the second layer, it is interesting because it goes down only half the value stipulated by the slicer. But only in this layer that does this. Then take off cute.

Sounds like mechanical binding on the z axis. Are you able to turn the z axis by hand and feel for change in resistance?

I found some settings that really helped it work, but I believe that activating the M208 was the big point, because until then nothing was working, as if the machine didn't have a reference point, all the changes made up until now had already been done before but without realizing that the 208 was disabled. So I would like to contribute with the config.g file as it is and everything works.

@carlinicompetizione said in Problems from the second layer to the 7th layer:

;M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima

why was it commented out in the first place?

droftarts

@carlinicompetizione I don't know why leaving out the M208 command would cause this issue, because if it is missing, the firmware sets a default of 0 (for minimum) and/or 200 (for maximum) in each axis. eg if I comment out all M208 commands in my config.g, then send M208 after a restart, it reports:

M208
Axis limits (mm) X0.0:200.0, Y0.0:200.0, Z0.0:200.0
