@o_lampe said in RepRapFirmware 3.6.0-alpha.2 for Duet main boards available:

@Exerqtor Which IS algo did you use and does it look better with rrf 3.5.x?

It's using ZVD and a 40.5Hz center frequency, forgot to mention that. I haven't tried reverting to 3.5 tbh!

[dc42]

@Exerqtor those artefacts don't looks like ringing to me. They may or may not be related to PA as you suggest. I suggest you try printing that piece of the print with IS and/or PA disabled, to see what effect it has on those artefacts.

[Exerqtor]

@dc42 I'll try without PA first and see how that fairs ☺️

[droftarts]

@Exerqtor You should definitely retune PA with the new IS implementation, if you haven't.

I have tested the new version and I have to say it really is a huge improvement. For me, it's the best and most important update so far. My printer is heavy and has quite a high mass that is being moved. Now I can increase the acceleration and jerk with higher print speeds and a much better surface as a result. The printer used to make a lot of noise, especially when changing direction quickly (contours of figures etc.), which is no longer the case. In short, my printer now finally prints the way I always imagined it would, in terms of speed, noise and quality. Thank you for the release and the work involved.

I just tried this on the delta that I have and during calibration, the effector is crashing into the bed. After reverting back to 3.5.2, calibration works fine.

Here is a video of the crash.

Moved to new topic.

@balajiramani
Funny that you mention that.

I've been doing roughly 24hours of printing on 3.6.0-a2+2 now without any notable issues, but when I'm about to start print this morning (a print finished in the middle of the night, and the printer has just stood idle since that) it's acting up/crashing into the bed.

---

(The printer is a Voron Triden by the way.)

---

I start a print from the office and waits for the printer to start homing, hear it homing XY and when it goes of to home Z I hear steppers just turning and turning, so I go out and check on the printer. Turns out the rear-center Z stepper is standing still(with the carriage roughtly about where it should be), while both the front Z steppers are still going in a downwards motion about halfway along the Z-axis (I have "WobbleX" on the z-axis).

So I hit the E-stop and check out DWC and what it has to say about this:

26.7.2024, 09:58:32	Emergency Stop! Reset the controller to continue.
                        Error: Failed to home axes Z

This all sounds somewhat odd since "Driver 0.2" is the one for the rear-center stepper, which don't seem to be doing anything weird.

Anywho, I power down the printer and manually reset the two font axis & lock the bed. Then I flip the machine around to check the wiring which all looks good. But the machine back on it's feet, power up, remove the bed locks and home the printer: all seems fine. Ok? So I jog the printer through full Z motion min-max-min with Paneldue and all seems fine.

Not seeing anything apparently borked I bring the bed up to heat again and attempt to run a tram routine (homing all axis, coarse tramming pass with 10mm dive height, then "n-number" of fine passes with 2mm dive height until the deviation is bellow 0.005mm). It runs the coarse pass, and ATTEMPTS to apply the initial adjustments:

2024-07-26 10:15:06 [warn] Leadscrew adjustments made: -2.315 2.178 1.401, points used 3, (mean, deviation) before (0.660, 1.775) after (-0.000, 0.000)

But for some reason the steppers don't move correctly so when it goes of with the second pass @ 2mm dive height it ends up scraping the nozzle allong the buildplate rather than hover 2mm above it (I've got Voron TAP, so it's not the biggest issue in the world with a slight "nozzle kiss" thankfully).

At this point I of course slap the E-stop again and go over everything once more still without finding anything wrong. And again confirming full range of motion on the Z axis and rulling out phase/connection issues to the Z-steppers as far as I can understand.

Try once more, and the exact same happens, and that's where I'm at now.

Like I opened up with saying, I've done multible trams (restarted the printer a couple times and it trams the bed first print after each reboot), without issues during the roughly 24hours of print time I have on it with 3.6.0-a2+2.
And that this happens with the printer standing idle after a print has finished is somewhat weird (roughly 3.5 hours between the night print finished and i tried starting a new one this monring).

[balajiramani]

I should add that this with a Duet 2 Wifi running 3.6.0-a2+3

[Notepad]

@Exerqtor I think @dc42 is right. This looks like under extrusion to me from weird PA artifacts or possible retraction behaviours

[Notepad]

@balajiramani Do you think it would be possible to gather some diagnostic logs? I also use a Duet 2, but on a coreXY system, I would assume a delta has a higher amount of processing requirements So it would be interesting to see what's going on behind the hood.

I personally use this process to gather the data:

• Power cycle the printer
• YAT USB connection
• M122 as a baseline diagnostic
• m111 p4 d1 b2048
• Print till failure / untill not happy (Dont Estop, only cancel as you want to save the data from the printer)
• M122 as a final diagnostic log
• Estop
• Save diaglog

[Exerqtor]

Just had time to roll back to 3.5.2 to check if fixes the problem, which it did. So it looks like it's something going on somewhere in regard to Z axis controll in 3.6.0-a2+3 @dc42.
I haven't got anything else than eventlogging going on at the time so i don't know if it's much if any usefull info one can pick up from that. If you think it might i can supply the entire log from the last couple days.

---

I'll open a new topic for the issue to keep this one from overflooding 👌

[ProteanReverie]

I have begun testing on two machines that are nearly identical, but one with a Duet 2 controlling it and one with a Duet 3 controlling it. I am very excited about the results I am seeing in print quality improvement. I have not yet encountered any noticeable issues with 3.6A2+3. Prints have run largely unattended, so if there was anything unusual that happened mid-print I could have missed it. Results off of the Duet 2 setup and Duet 3 setup look the same for the tests I have run.

Gcode was identical across both machines and both firmware versions. Input shaping is configured as ZVDD F15 on both machines. Pressure advance is enabled with a value of 0.04 on both machines.

These tests were done with a Hemera Revo 0.4HF nozzle and PETG material. I am also starting tests with a 1.0 nozzle but do not have that data yet.

Here is an example of the difference in ringing/ghosting from the Ghost Text model. 3.5.2 is on bottom, 3.6A2+3 on top.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that would be beneficial.

[DonStauffer]

@ProteanReverie Sorry I'm not up to speed on the latest features, but is there some particular feature that has to be enabled or configured to get that improvement in the ringing, or is it just improvements to the RFF code?

[balajiramani]

@Notepad thank you for your guidance. I was able to reproduce the issue and here are the output files.

@ProteanReverie Sorry I'm not up to speed on the latest features, but is there some particular feature that has to be enabled or configured to get that improvement in the ringing, or is it just improvements to the RFF code?

The difference between my pictures is only an update to the RFF code, but the difference in the code pertains to how input shaping is handled. So, if you are using input shaping the update should improve things. If not, you would likely need to configure input shaping as well as applying the update. You can learn more about Input Shaping for Duet here https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Tuning/Input_shaping

Haven't used my RRF printer in a few months due to it not printing as well as the Qidi. I saw this post and decided to dust off the Jubilee and load up 3.6 alpha and give it a go. I only have a few prints in but see a big improvement in print quality over the 3.5 version it replaced. So far not having an issues but have only used a single tool. Will try to do a multi color this weekend.

These tests were done with a Hemera Revo 0.4HF nozzle and PETG material. I am also starting tests with a 1.0 nozzle but do not have that data yet.

Here is data from my 1.0 nozzle tests.

additionally, here is data from the duet 3 using a 0.4 nozzle for the accel test model, since that data wasn't ready for my prior post

I have still not encountered any noticeable issues on either the Duet 2 Wi-Fi or Duet 3 Mini 5+ setups when using 3.6A2+3.

@dc42 I've been having major problems with bed leveling. One Z stepper either adjusts the wrong direction, or doesn't move at all. I had been doing extensive work on bed.g a few weeks ago and got it working perfectly. This problem doesn't correspond with that, but it gives a time frame which indicates to me there's something with this alpha version since that's the only major change since then. At that time I had probably run the routine 100 times in a row, working on LED issues. The actual leveling worked well.

[balajiramani]

@DonStauffer I too am having a similar problem with bed levelling. Printing with 3.6.0-alpha2+3 works fine and the input shaping is absolutely awesome! BTW, the printer I have is a delta.

The input shaping is so good that I am able to increase the accleration and jerk, without any artefacts. I was also able to drop the pressure advance value. I went from 0.21 to 0.14.
