Unintentional axis movement
-
Hello,
In some cases Y axis is moving certain amount unintentionally. I use three-point manual bed leveling and nozzle travels 3 points respectively.
Here the coordinates of those points are:
[“X30 Y30”, “X270 Y30", “X170 Y300”]First move: G1 X30 Y30 (No problem)
Second move: G1 X270 Y30 (X goes to 270 and Y supposed to stay still but it moves anyway. It moves approximately 3-4 milimeters in positive direction.)All movements are done in absolute cartesian coordinate system.
Hardware: Duet2 Wifi
Firmware: 2.03beta3What would cause this?
Thanks in advance.

M501 -
lets start of with the first thing. there is a M208 before the M584
See
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M584_Set_drive_mappingOrder dependence
M584 must come earlier in config.g than any M350 and M906 commands. If it creates new axes, it must also be earlier than any M92, M201, M203, M208, M350, M566, M574 , M667 and M669 commands. -
@kerembyl said in Unintentional axis movement:
M501 ; Check config override file
also it makes sense that this should be the last command in your config. not one of the first.

I fixed the things you mentioned, problem is still there. Thank you for correction though.

if you move back to G1 X30 Y30. does it return to the same place as the original G1 X30 Y30 ?
-
Is any axis compensation applied? I'm thinking more of the M556 orthogonality type. Possibly in homeall.g or bed.g?

-
@droftarts neither both of them have M556. There is no axis compensation.
@Veti Error is not consistent so i could not experiment that.
-
can you post a picture of your printer?
-
@veti If you tell me what exactly do you want to see i can help you better. Because product is commercial and under development.
-
is the movement for x and y independent?
what do the u and v axis do?
-
@veti In order to prevent confusion because of U and V axis, i edited first post and submitted simpler config file. This belongs to another device which runs on same hardware and firmware and problem still exists. What i mean is it is not relevant to creating additional axes.
X and Y axes are independent for sure. They are driven by seperate stepper with no mapping applied to each other.
-
does the y stepper motor actually move when doing the move from 30 to 270?
-
@veti yes from x30 to x270 it moves.
-
and you ruled out any mechanical issue? like moving the head manually when the duet is off to see if the movement happens as well?
without axis compensation there should be no movement on the y motor.
can you also post the config-overwrite -
I ruled out all mechanical issues, all of our devices have this problem.
config-overwrite.g contains only PID and BL Touch parameters.
Oddly enough, this is not happening while printing. Because dimensions are true.

This movement only happens when you probe your bed? If that is the case there is probably a probe offset(G31) in Y set somewhere, since the i.e:
G30 X100 Y100 uses position of probe(nominal tool holder position & probe offset) , where as
G1 X100 Y100 uses active tool position(nominal tool holder position & tool offset).
Check your config.g, homeX/Z/Y.g and Bed.g for any G31 with a XY value or G10 tool offset in XY. -
i dont see anything in the config that would explain that.
just to rule out any firmware problem please update to the stable 2.03 -
@mrsdelish It also happens on a device which employs manual bed leveling. (without probe)
-
@dc42 Do you have any idea about that?

@kerembyl said in Unintentional axis movement:
Firmware: 2.03beta3
Beta versions of firmware are not supported once a later beta or (as in this case) the corresponding full release has been published. So you should upgrade to 2.03 (final release) or 2.04RC1 and test again.

@dc42 I just have upgraded to 2.04RC1 and the problem still occurs
-
I experience something similar to that on my IDEX configuration. Steps to reproduce this problem: (all steps done via web interface)
Step 1: Home All
Step 2: Select Tool 1 (U axis)
Step 3: Move Y axis 100 mm in positive direction
Step 4: Move U axis 15 (or any value) in negative direction
Step 5: Move Y axis 1 mm in positive directionWhen step 5 is performed Y axis supposed to move 1mm but the U axis moves back to the home position unintentionally instead.
