Hesitations on the X and Y axis when using "Bed Mesh Compensation"
-
I have a Cartesian printer. There is a very slight multiple hesitations on the X and Y axis, extruder appears ok but is hard to see. At speeds less than 20mm/sec its really hard to visually see but can be seen as a little bit of extra extrusion causing a slight bulge in a long straight run where its building the wall of a box. At speeds above, lets say around 40mm/s to 100mm/s the hesitation is easily seen visually and heard, and can be felt by placing your finger on the carriages as they are moving. It only occurs when using "Bed Mesh Compensation". Works fine with "No Bed Compensation" and with "Auto Bed Compensation"

This is interesting, I noticed this behavior too but did not link it to the mesh bed leveling.
I have noticed this when printing a circle, I always get a "stitch line" when the printer hesitates, need to test your findings… -
Perhaps your z-axis accelerations are holdign back X/Y movements while the Z-axis compensates?
-
It's either the Z acceleration or Z jerk limit holding it back. Your Z jerk limit of 10mm/min does look very low.
-
DC,
What settings would you suggest for Acc & Jerk?
Thanks -
Try increasing Z jerk to 100.
-
Thanks DC, Changing Z Jerk to 100 fixed it
Is there anything else in my config that you see that might be a problem now or in the future, maybe something is borderline and is working now but could cause a problem when printing something other than the simple box I'm doing now?
Thanks
