Y-stepper noise

Pertti

-Maybe the same Duet Wifi problem as "core x y stepper noise"-topic here.
Yes, I tested the issue by an extra handheld steppermotor. No doubt the Y-signal gave more noise and vibration than the x-signal.
I think the running printer should sound like
a purring cat rather than a screaming one.

Please post your config.g, so we can check that there's no settings that might be causing this issue.

M906 X800 Y1600 Z1600 E1000

What stepper motors do you have on X, Y and Z? You've set the current on the Y to double X, which will make it noisier, though I'd expect Z to be noisy too.

What Duet board do you have? You said Duet Wifi, but your config says you have a Maestro, and is set up for Ethernet, not Wifi. send M115 and post response.

Also, 1.6A is the maximum on a Maestro, though in my testing I couldn't get the driver to overheat at this setting.

Ian

Pertti

I have two parallel nema 17 motors in y-axis. Z has Nema 23.

There are some other problems like the heater 2 is not fast enough and cuts the heating because of too slow heating. (green line). Does the red curve look ok?

@Pertti said in Y-stepper noise:

I expect that's where the noise is coming from, due to the high current you're using. You could wire them in series, which is recommended, and reduce the current. What happens when you connect the X motor to Y stepper driver, and set M906 Y800? Does it go quiet then?

Remember to turn off power when you disconnect/reconnect motors, or you may damage the stepper driver.

Ian

droftarts

@Pertti No, that doesn't look right for heater 2, and heater 1 should be more stable than that.

As you have Duet Wifi, but your config.g is set for Duet Maestro, there are some errors:

M918 P1 E4 F2000000 ; configure direct-connect display

Not needed, you can't connect this display to Duet Wifi

M552 P0.0.0.0 S1 ; enable network and acquire dynamic address via DHCP

Not needed, M552 S1 does this for Wifi

Remove this whole section, it's causing problems. Because...

M305 P0 T80000 B4092 R2200 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
...
M305 P1 T80000 B4700 R2200 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1 vB4092
...
M305 P2 T100000 B4700 R2200 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 2

Your thermistor settings (ie temperature monitoring are incorrect for Duet Wifi. The R value should be R4700 for Duet Wifi; it's R2200 for Duet Maestro. What thermistors are fitted, or what hot end is this? E3D V6 or something similar? Getting the thermistor settings correct should give you accurate temperatures.

Once you have corrected these, then try tuning your hot ends with M303.

M906 Y800

I have tried all kinds of setups, parallel and serial, x,y,z etc.
I changed the y current to 800 but then the other motor refused to turn. I changed back to 1600 and bingo, no noise!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don´t know what happened.
Thanks!
Next I´m trying to dualextrude.
Heating needs also some study.

Pertti

Here is my thermistor and hotend. The belong to Leapfrog Creatr. That´s all can tell.
Seems that I can settle the undulating red heath curve flat by M303 H1 S240 but it helps until I switch the machine off. I´d like to start the heating automatically by the uploaded gcode.
I also wonder how can I cold extrude the second extruder, what is the code?

measure the resistance at room temperature (25C) then using a known thermometer bring water to boiling (100C) and measure the resistance. that will let you caluculate the beta value.

Pertti

E1: 116.5 kOhm 22 degrees C , 7.0 kOhm at boiling water

Veti

from the table it seems to match a B3950 thermistor

Pertti

Thanks Veti. Next step?

Pertti

For some reason my thermistors lost their resistance after boiling them in hot water...

Phaedrux

@Pertti Maybe they need to dry out?

Pertti

Yes indeed, now that they are dry they work fine. But the board has something wrong. The bed thermistor pins work ok with boiled thermistors, but the heater thermistor pins give 2000 degrees when tested with the "unboiled" bed thermistor.

Pertti

I also made changes to the config.g. I wonder if it has something to do with the problem.

Pertti

I think there´s something wrong with the board.
Some fuse I guess?

jay_s_uk

@Pertti that just means you haven't set up the temperature sensor correctly.
Your T values look a little low.
Can you post your latest config settings?
