RepRapFirmware 3.01-RC4 and DSF 1.2.5 now available

Duet 3 + SBC users can pick it up from the unstable package feed. Other users can find it at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/tag/3.01-RC4. Be sure to read the release notes at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/v3-dev/WHATS_NEW_RRF3.md.

deckingman

@dc42 The upgrade notes state

"The M563 S (tool number adjustment) parameter is no longer supported. This parameter was only needed when using very old versions of RRF with old versions of slic3r."

I think it would be clearer if the "S" was changed to "S1" because at first glance, it reads as if the "S" parameter is no longer supported at all, whereas the S parameter can still be used to assign names to tools.

Thanks @dc42, installed this RC right away on my Duet 2 Maestro to test the fix with respect to M220. With the Gcode unaltered, working perfectly again!

How does 220/221 actually work now? If I want to have 50% faster print I need both movements in XYZ to be faster 50% and E to be faster 50% is it enough to do M220S150 or is is necesary to do M220S150\nM221S150 ? My original understanding was that M220 will affect XYZE and M221 only E so M220S150\nM221S150 will actually increase XYZ by +50% and E by +125% but am never sure

Waited for so long for this update only to find M291 still not recognised so my Z calibration macro, bed screw adjustment macro, leadscrew levelling macro and many other macro's containing M291 useless!!

Schmart

Hi @arhi, documentation is not yet fully updated with the added behavior, but M220 essentially scales the print speed, as if you set higher or lower print speeds in your slicer. M220 now does not apply to retract/unretract and move commands in macros anymore.

M221 scales the extrusion, which is independent of M220. So if you want 50% higher speed and 5% more extrusion, that would be M220 S150 and M221 S105.

@Schmart so M220 S150 will be underextruding?

Works for me, can you post some examples? The whole macro...

No, it's still going to scale the extruder speed to match the new XY speed since it's still a coordinated move.

deployprobe.g, retractprobe.g don't get run. I had to change it to deployprobe0.g/retractprobe0.g for it to work. Not sure if this is an intentional change.

relevant config:
M558 P5 H3 F320 T12000 C"io2.in" ; set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds.

This worked with the pre 3.0 release that came with my Duet3 (RepRapFirmware 3.0beta12)

Phaedrux

@wesc Is that a BLTouch or an actual switch that deploys?

wesc

It's a switch that's magnetically picked up for probing, then put back in it's dock.

Are you sure that you are running DSF 1.2.5?

Thanks, I have changed the wording.

So M220 will scale both XY and E, and M221 will only scale E so as I asked before M220S150\nM221S150 will get XY to 150% and E to 225% ? or M221 in this case won't do anything?

@Phaedrux I expected this to be a single sentence answer came to be few posts, maybe better to split it from this thread and create separate one to keep this one clean from this offtopic

Sort of works for me sometimes. Think it is due to the fact that the bug where you have to enter gcode twice in the DWC console before it works is still present!

Also M291 P"Jog the Z axis until the nozzle grips a peice of paper and click OK" R"Move Z" Z1 S2 still reports error "code not supported".

So, I'm still having to do everything manually!

S1 Z1 works (shows jog buttons and "close"). S2 and S3 are not working, looks like a bug, or a "not there yet" in R3. And... since none of the "blocking" ones work, you are correct, this doesn't help you at the moment.

@dc42, is M291 S2 (and S3) not working a bug, or a "not there yet"?

1.2.4. 1.25 did make deploy/retractprobe.g work.

Figuring out how to get DSF 1.2.5 wasn't pleasant. To repost and save others lots of grepping the forums and internet:

Do this to get the bleeding edge DSF:

wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo mv duet3d-unstable.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

then apt-get update/upgrade

or it can be shortened to

echo "deb https://pkg.duet3d.com/ unstable armv7" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d-unstable.list

tbh its not a unreasonable threshold to get non-release versions, there are bigger questions in that regards.

The speed factor will only adjust the E values to maintain the amount that the slicer requested. It has to now that XY moves are faster.

The extrusion factor will increase the E amount the slicer requested but not change the xy speed.

Same as before.

The main difference now is that the speed factor change won't apply to travel moves.
