First Post & few Questions (Low+High Endstop & Blobs Issue)
-
Hello everybody,
this is my first post.(Please excuse my bad english it's not my native language)
I've been printing for 8 years now, but with the first M3D Micro beta printer that came out in 2012, but now it is to small for me (10x10). Now I have built a bigger cartaisan printer on my own.
I have learned a lot out of this forum and found a lot of solutions while reading.But now I'm stuck at a few points.
First of all:
Thanks to @deckingman who inspired me to build a multicolor printer by reading his blog.
Of cours also thanks to @DC42 for his help and solutions in this forum.
I'm really glad to be a member in this communitySo here is my setup:
- Cartaisan Printer
- Duet Wifi v1.04 + Duex
- Dual X and Dual Y and Tripple Z axes
- 5 extruders (Magenta, Yellow, Cyan, White, Black)
- 12 stepper motors NEMA 17 (max 1500ma)(10 on Duet+Duex+2 external)
- Diamond Hotend 5 in 1
- 5 Bowden tubes (80cm)
- 30 x 30 cm Printbed
- 7 optical Endstops + BLTouch
- 2x Vin @ 24Volt and 600Watt (1. Duet+Duexan 2. Printbed via Mosfet)
- 2 Fan + 5 Blower (External Driver, Mosfet, 2 Duet+Duex, 2 Diamondcarriage an 1 Partcooler)
- 5 Activ High switches as filamentsensor*
- 5 temperature sensors ( Hotend, Printbed, Duet, Mosfet & External Driver)
- actually there are 17 Tools set
- RRF 3.1.1.
(* It didn't work well, the printer kept restarting at the beginning of a print, so i deactivated them. Too much noise interferences. I will replace them with other sensors)
I think that's it.
I designed this printer by myself on Solidworks, so all parts are custom made an printed with a small printer( a gift,chinese brand: Singma but it had done his job good) Some parts will be reprinted like the Duethousing with this big printer. The one i used just had a printarea of 13x13 cm.
I tried to build a Printer which isn't too big bud also have a big printarea. So i tried to set it as compact as possible. The outer dimensions are 44x44 cm and the printarea is 30x30 cm. The filamentspool are mounted outside on the left handside.
I've already done some prints an a lot of tests. The instructions an the forum helped a lot, so that it wasn't that hard.
Now my issues:
-
I got a dual X and dual Y setup, it also works very well. But it just uses one endstop switch. it worked good at the beginning, but as i speed up the speed of the axis i got some issues. The carrier stuck on Y axis and the Printhead didn't move or just a bit in that direction.
The reason i speed up the speed was that i tought that it will be usefull to evitate blobs at the beginning of a layer. (At the beginning it was lower and worked very good)
I already set Firmware retraction (8 mm) an pressure advance (0.8) but the blobs never fully disapeared. But it was already better.
I could set down the speed, but then the blobs will become bigger.
I think the longer the hotend stays over the beginning of a layer, the worser the blobs get.
By the way, I use the prusa slicer, it can run 17 tools without crashing.
Slic3er crashed all the time. I also modified Cura to have 18 tools but it get very slow and i couldn't see every icon on the screen, that's why i'm using PrusaSlicer. There I enabled also Firmware retraction (all 5 filaments are beeing retracted) -
My question is:
How can I set two endstops at each end of the axis? (High and low)
Ass you can see on the pictures, my dual Axis setup is mirrored*.
I want him to go to one end and after i want him to go to the other end.
I think then it will be fully synchronised and wont stuck anymore.
(*Saved place to keep the printe compact)
- And if I have to set down the speed, how could i evitate these blobs?

( Some of theme are old ones)
Here are some of my prints i've already done for testing; ther you can also see the blobs and the progress of getting rid of them.
In some Picture you can see that one colour didn't extrudet but i fixed it.
yhis ist the best resultate i get.
maybe someone has an solution for my problem
thanks in advance

E85.6:85.6:85.6:85.6:85.6
what kind of extruder are they? maybe switching to dual geared extruders could help
what is your reason for wanting to use high and low endstops?
on the duet endstops are not taken into account during normal moves. the software movement limits of the duet should take care of this.
otherwise you can reconfigure the endstops on the fly if neededi am not sure if leadscrews in a vertical position are working.
check out this project for a beltless hypercube. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2929869
he is using this

Hello Veti,
this are direct driven extruder from an old printer. I took it from 5 old printers where the printbed was srewed (a dobot replica,singma XGM-5a: https://item.jd.com/32249923157.html)
I reused the steppermotors and the extrudermechanism. The other parts are from doltmechatronik.de and reprap.me.
E85.6:85.6:85.6:85.6:85.6 is a weird number, but i callibrated the exdruder like that and it worked fine.The reason i want to use high and low endstops is, that i want the printer to synchronise during homing not while printing. I can adjust it manualy but that is not my goal. There is a diffrence of 2 mm at the end of one leadscrew and at the beginning of the other.
I also already tried to rewrite the homeall.gcode, but it never triggered the second endstop. Now it just uses one an then stops.
It also works fine, but sometimes it blocks and the movement aren't parallel anymore.
Thanks for the tip of backlach, for now this isn't prior. But I'll change it in the future.
I've tried to put the endstops togeter at the M574 code but it didn't work.
You said that I could change the endstopbehaviour by the fly. So that means, I can put a remap after the first endstop is triggered in the home code?Here is a picture to explaine my idea:
At low speed it works good but at high it blocks sometimes.
I took out the thermistor setup because the post got over 20000 letters. I'll repost it.
I'll put it now here:0:/sys/config.g ; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 3) ; executed by the firmware on start-up ; ; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v3.1.4 on Wed Sep 09 2020 22:34:20 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit) ; General preferences G90 ; send absolute coordinates...

@FITT said in First Post & few Questions (Low+High Endstop & Blobs Issue):
B4138
your thermistors are not setup correctly. B4138 is the default.you will need to look up the beta value for the thermistors that you are using.
since you are already relying on motors blocking, why not put a shim on one side and use stall detection? that way you only need to home on one side.

I'll look up for the value for the thermisor. I tuned the bedthermistor once, and all the other are the same brand. Do I have to put the special configuration at all thermistors ?
The idea with the shime is good, but I can also take the steppercoupling out for 2 mm and get the same effect.
I dismissed the idea of stalldetection because i thought it could destroy the stepperholding due to much vibrations. Or it would press leadscrew out of the bearing and so it won't be precise enough. I never tried it.
Is stalldetection even precise enough? -

for x and y it does not matter (unless you need restart after power failure)
because if the print is shifted by a fraction of a millimeter on the buildplate it does not matterdo you have the make of the thermistor?

Isn't the torque to high for a PLA Holding?@Veti said in

No I don't. I also reused them from the old printers.

generally you reduce the motor current while doing stall detection

@FITT Ref the blobs - Diamond hot ends suffer from filament oozing more than "normal" hot ends. I think it's somehow related to there being multiple melt chambers. High retraction helps but then you run the risk of pulling molten filament up past the heat break zone where it will solidify and cause a blockage.
A couple of things you can try.
- Print at the lowest temperature that you can get away with. In my experience, with a Diamond hot end, this is at, or even below, the minimum recommended for the filament. I used to print PLA at 180 deg C with 5 colour Diamond but print a temperature tower to find what works best on your machine.
- Use the fastest non-print travel move speed that you can. I run at 350mm/sec but I doubt you'd be able to get that high with screw driven axes so run as fast as you can. Anything that will reduce the time the hot end sits at a particular spot will help - so don't use Z hop on retraction (I see you aren't).
-
The strange oozing behaviour is something i have seen a lot. But during a layer there is no probleme while i made my last printtests. It's just at the beginning.
I've already reset the retraction to 2 mm an it still works fine.There were other issues that made me think that i have to set it higher, but now i know better. (like you said, high retraction caused blockage)
It also made that other filament melted into a layer where they didn't belong.
I'm also concerned about the pressure advance. As i can see on my testcubes, the printer has issues to extrude the same amount of filament after a corner. And i think it slows down the printhead?- Your proposes:
1.This is a good point, i printed PLA with 215 degrees but as it looks it was a mistake. The PLA i have melts at 190 degree so i put it now at 195.
- That was also my toughts, so ill tri to make it faster, for now i'm at 75mm/s while printing and the fastest non printing move i tried was 130mm/s.
- Speed:
This is why i'm asking for the high&low endstops. So it would synchronize and would be more accurate for higher speed.
If i'm right the stepper can move faster and have more torque due to 24V?
@Veti do you think that the blobs come from a fault temperature mesuring?

if you have the wrong thermistor setting the displayed temperature can easily be off by 20 or more degrees from the real temperature

Ok. I'll redo an PID tuning, maybee i've made an error during my lest tuning.

no .
pid tuning wont help with showing the correct temperature.
only the correct beta value will do that. -
Would it help if i mesure the resistance of the thermisto to gett an approximate value?
-
yes
measure the resistance at room temperature.
then measure the resistance at 100C
then measure the resistance at 200Cyou will need a thermometer or other tool to determine the temperature. do not measure the temperature using the same thermistor.
then plug in those 3 sets of values into the calculator (click on the beta value and select custom)

ok I'll do it tomorow because the printer is still working now an and still hot.
Roomtemperature 21 or 25 °C? -
@FITT
both work as the value can be calculated from both.
