massive overextrusion, E-Steps are calibrated

Enpixa

...as mentioned when i do a "G92 E0" followed by "G1 E100" from console it transports 100mm raw filament. Behaves like it should imo.

What is the motor?

Enpixa

After 2 hours searching i found the specs
The Extruder-Stepper (same stepper also used for Z-Axis) used in the Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus is a Moons Stepping Motor C17HD40102-05N

According to Moons Numbering System found in a PDF for different steppers it should be a standard 1.8degree stepper (HD) which is specified for the motor technology of 2 different Moons Series, so i guess, that is is the same for the C17-Series.

Also installed this, but still using original stepper:

Is this with the hotend attached or just pushing the filament through the extruder gears?

alankilian

Also, are you measuring 100mm of filament going INTO the extruder or 100mm of filament coming OUT of the extruder?

(I'm not implying you're an idiot, just trying to check non obvious things since SOMETHING strange is going on and we're not nailing it down yet.)

Enpixa

@Phaedrux: It is with hotend attached.

@alankilian: Measuring Filament going into extruder.

One Idea came to my mind: as it is extruding right, when doing a do a "G92 E0" followed by "G1 E100" from console.

Could it be that there is something buggy with the DWC extrusion factor when used, that it calculates twice or something like that.

Is the DWC extrusion factor also used when doing a "G1 E100" from console, or only when printing a file ?

Veti

do you have something like non linear extrusion enabled?

What exactly do you mean ? Which commands / Gcodes ? So far only tested absolute and relative extrusion. No Volumetric / Advanced Pressure printing tested nor activated.

No M592 in config or Gcode of 3D printed file found.

@Enpixa Just to rule out something changing the config.g values, send the following after resetting the Duet:
M92 M350 M221
which should respond with something like (my settings):

Steps/mm: X: 80.000, Y: 80.000, Z: 800.000, E: 612.000
Microstepping - X:16(on), Y:16(on), Z:16(on), E:16(on)
Extrusion factor(s) for current tool: 100.0%

Then send again once you have started a file printing. If there's a gcode somewhere changing these settings, the firmware should report it.

Just as a sense check, I looked at the snippet of gcode you posted. It shows a 12.5mm move with a 0.75mm extrusion move (roughly). For 1.75mm filament this is:
π(1.75/2)^2 x 0.75 = 1.8mm^2

For a 0.4mm nozzle (0.4mm extrusion width; yours may be bigger) with a layer height of 0.3mm, for this distance you should be extruding (again, roughly):
0.4 x 0.3 x 12.5 = 1.5mm^2 of filament

So it looks (from this tiny fragment of gcode) that the extrusion commanded is in the right ballpark; I'd guess you have an extrusion width of 0.5mm, which gives 1.875mm^2 of filament. However, check the settings in your slicer for the first layer, as they are often different from other layers.

Hello Droftarts, thx alot. Always the same result.directly after starting, after homing, while printing, after printing/aborting:

27.1.2021, 19:23:00	M92 M350 M221
Steps/mm: X: 80.040, Y: 80.040, Z: 800.960, E: 415.800
Microstepping - X:16(on), Y:16(on), Z:16(on), E:16(on)
Extrusion factor(s) for current tool: 100.0%

Little Update: Meanwhile i replaced the Duet Wifi mainboard with another one i had here in my shelf. Rewired everything.

The whole story again. Reinstalled Firmware 3.2 completely new. ( Also DWC 3.2 etc. ) Also used another SD-Card. deleted all folders before. The only thing i copied was the config-files to sys folder from the "old" board.

Did new PID for heater.

Checked again, 100mm is moved when doing the G1 E100.

Heightmap doesnt look too bad:

Checked nozzle distance to bed again with the good old "paper-method" using standard 80g paper. Nozzle is barely touching the paper. Really only slightly, it doesnt bend nor really scratches it. just a little feel of.. there could be paper

Print result at 100% Flow: same old story.

i am going crazy !

Try a fresh config from the configurator.

Some more checking:

Now disconnected the stepper from the printers daughter-board on top of the extruder Carriage and connected the stepper directly to the Duet Wifi to double check that there is no issue with the connections or daughtboard. Checked. Seems to perform the same. So connected back to daughterboard again.

Also send some "G1 E7.7" ( trial and error for a full 360° revolution value) which gives a full revolution at the bare stepper. Sent via console, working. fine.

Then wrote a little gcode file for execution:

M83; relative extrusion
M302 P1 ;allow cold extrusion

G92 E0 ;extruder 0

G1 E7.7 F200
M118 S"Round 1"
G4 P4000

G1 E7.7 F200
M118 S"Round 2"
G4 P4000

G1 E7.7 F200
M118 S"Round 3"
G4 P4000

printed via DWC:

Works fine:
Video of executing that file: video_2021-01-28_15-52-49.mp4

Performs like it should. No "over-extrusion" or double revolution seen here. Maybe this helps to get a step closer to the origin of the
over-extrusion problem.

maybe we could send you a known good sliced g code and you can print that to rule out any misconfiguration in the slicer

Hello Veti, that would be very nice !

Here is a link to the file i am doing all my tests with atm:
iphone_halterung_V26.stl

If someone could slice that proper for further testing. Would be great ! thx alot.
