Your M203 X and Y maximum speeds are absurdly high. I suggest you try 12000 i.e. 200mm/sec. You may be able to increase it when you have the machine working well.
Your M201 X and Y accelerations are rather high, but not necessarily impossible. I suggest you reduce them to 2000 until everything is working.
The M558 X, Y and Z parameters are no longer used by the firmware and can be removed.
If you have a BLtouch Z probe then using recent firmware versions you should use P9 in the M558 command, not P5.
The M301 H0 command should be removed. Run heater tuning to find what M307 parameters you should use instead.
If you know what thermistors you are using, then it's better to put the correct B and C parameters in the m305 commands.

That's all I spotted.

Thats awesome man, thank you.

You have microstepping interpolation disabled. If you have a Duet 2 board you can enabled it on axis using 16 microsteps which should make your motors a bit quieter.

Ozzzzzzy · 1 Sept 2018, 19:28

If I am ok with the noise should i leave it at 32.

Phaedrux · 1 Sept 2018, 19:38

@ozzzzzzy Noise is part of it, but high microstepping can sometimes lead to very high stepping rates that the Duet may not be able to handle. One way to check if this is an issue is after doing a test print use M122 to generate a diagnostic report. Look for the Move heading and see if there are any hiccups or steperrors or under runs. If you do that might indicate that you're missing steps. Especially during high acceleration moves and high speeds.

Generally speaking 16 microsteps with interpolation is considered the best of both worlds. Manageable step rates with quiet operation.

What do you seek to gain from 32 microsteps?

Ozzzzzzy · 2 Sept 2018, 18:50

@phaedrux I just thought 32 was better, more accurate. I'm switching to 16 with interpolation.

Phaedrux · 2 Sept 2018, 19:02

Once you're up and running you can compare the two. Print the same gcode. Once with 16 and again at 32. Run M122 after each to see if there are hiccups. See if you can tell the difference. Repeat for higher microsteps if you want to see how far it will go. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
