@fly I just ran your gcode files on my machine. CoreXY with Duet Wifi on RRF3.2.2.
other.gcode seems to have printed fine - smooth & no jerking motion at all.
second-lap.gcode does produce a vibrating motion like you describe. If however, I slow it down a lot (e.g. to 20%), the motion it smooth, but I can see the circle it prints isn't quite perfect (you can see the facets from the stl file and the line width varies a little)I think that the issue you are seeing is related to some non-uniform extrusion rate as DC42 suggested. You can see in the snippet of the gcode you posted that the extrusion rate is varying. It jumps from ~0.01438mm to 0.00005mm in one line (line 16 to 17), so it goes from extruding to stopping, then back to extruding again in three lines of gcode (in about 10ms of time at a motion speed of 4800mm/min). I calculate that as a speed change of about 160mm/min inboth directions for your extruder (-160mm/min then +160mm/min) which is higher than your jerk setting of 120mm/min (and 80mm/min on the other printer). There are some even higher jumps in the problem file looking at your graphs. The extruder has to be able to keep up with the motion requested and will slow/stop the xyz motion if it can't. Again, as DC42 said, if you have any pressure advance set (I do), this may make things worse as the pressure advance will be applied on top of the extisting fluctuations. All this is the Duet behaving as expected I think.
So your options are:
- Increase your extruder jerk (M566) significantly so that it doesn't impact/limit the motion planning
- Change your slicer settings so the gcode they output is more consistent (e.g. alter your line widths so the additional line is a more consitent size like @mrehorstdmd suggested)
- Change your stl file. It might be that the facets on the inner/outer surfaces are making the rim thickness of your part vary, hence the problem line has all these non-uniform extrusion rates.

Seems like expected behaviour from Cura actually. How it handles single width fill lines is pretty abysmal.
You can try this version of Cura that has some fixes for that behaviour. https://github.com/smartavionics/Cura/releases
Or try Prusa Slicer which has really good gap fill behaviour by comparison.
-
@engikeneer The M83 command is used in the gcode of RRF, which is not 0.01438mm to 0.00005mm. After extruding 0.01438mm, it will extrude 0.00005mm relative to 0.01438mm.
Modifying the speed and acceleration of the extruder is invalid. I have tried it many times.
Running this kind of gcode in marlin firmware will not have this use case, so I think the firmware program may also have bugs. -

@fly Try tweaking the line width and reslice.

Also if Cura is an amazing program is not perfect. I'm agree...the issue is in Cura. I lost age to try to figure it out and even on the Ultimaker forum there is no solution.
Just try to use different width for internal or external lines (or for the nozzle in general - 0,41 etc - , find the right combo and save the profile for this specific part). Sometime we expect that the program is capable to slice as better as we can image but it is not.
The vibration is generated by the slicer because the mess of micro variations. For my delta I can confirm this. (hundreds of attempts)
The concentric patter is the worst in Cura. (just in case, disable "spiralized", it is good for vase but not for thick wall with infill) -
@fly my calculations are still correct. To extrude 0.01438mm in the short segments yor gcode has at 4800mm/min, the extruder has to be moving at about 160mm/min. For the next line, to extrude 0.00005mm, the extruder has to be moving at about 0mm/min. Then on the following line it is back up to 160mm/min. It never goes backwards, but that is a significant change in speed required (both decelerating then accelerating) and is larger than your extruder jerk.
How comparable are your extruder accel, speed & jerk settings on your Marlin machine?
There may be some differences in how Marlin and RRF work (e.g. are you using the Marlin junction deviation?), but fundamentally RRF will respect the motion limits for every axis (including the extruder) and will slow down the motion if these are being violated. -
Looks like Cura is finally addressing this issue with a slicing engine overhaul. Beta available now with variable line width.

Interesting phaedrux ! Soon as possible I'll try it. Now I'm stuck in other troubles that keep me far from the 3D printing world but I'll have to put me in soon or later. I also have near 4K of coreXY in pieces that wait just to be assembled.

@fly
I can confirm that this appears to be fixed in Cura 4.9 beta.This is a snip-it of infill from cura 4.8. I ran it through Arc welder. 80% concentric infill
